call sessions. You can install up to three MPM modules. Two different MPM module types
are available for purchase, according to your deployment regarding the number of required
transcoding sessions:

MPM8B module, providing 8 DSPs

MPM12B module, providing 12 DSPs
You can install both module types in the same chassis. For maximum number of supported
transcoding sessions per MPM module type, refer to the User's Manual.
For module slot assignment, see Section 3.2.1 on page 17.
Notes:
•MPM installation can only be done when the device is powered off. Therefore, before
