Introduction
This document is a global document. Contact your system supplier or your
Nortel representative to verify that the hardware and software described
are supported in your area.
Subject WARNING
Before a Large System can be installed, a network assessment
must be performed and the network must be VoIP-ready.
If the minimum VoIP network requirements are not met, the
system will not operate properly.
For information on the minimum VoIP network requirements and
converging a data network with VoIP, refer to Converging the
Data Network with VoIP (NN43001-260),.
This document provides an overview of the general design and features of
CS 1000Mand Meridian 1 Large Systems.

System migration
When particular Meridian 1 systems are upgraded to run CS 1000 Release
5.5 software and configured to include a Signaling Server, they become
CS 1000M systems. Table 1 lists each Meridian 1 system that supports an
upgrade path to a CS 1000M system.

14 Product description
All Large Systems consist of Universal Equipment Modules (UEM) stacked
one on top of another to form a column. Each column contains a pedestal,
a top cap, and up to four modules. A system can have one column or
multiple columns.
Each UEM is a self-contained unit that houses a card cage and backplane,
power and ground cabling, power units, input/output (I/O) panels, circuit
cards, and cables. When the card cage is installed, the function of the
UEM is established and the module is no longer "universal." The system
modules are as follows:
•NT4N41 Core/Network module for CS 1000M MG, CS 1000M SG,
Meridian 1 PBX 81C CP PIV, and Meridian 1 PBX 61C CP PIV
•NT5D21 Core/Network module for CS 1000M HG, CS 1000M SG, CS
1000M MG, Option 51C, 61C and 81C
•NT8D35 Network module required for CS 1000M MGand Meridian 1
PBX 81C CP PIV, Option 81C
•NT8D37 Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) module (required for
Large Systems)
•Fiber Remote IPE module (optional for Large Systems Multi Group)
•Carrier Remote IPE module (optional for Large Systems)
The pedestal generally houses a blower unit, air filter, Power Distribution
Unit (PDU), and System Monitor.
The top cap provides airflow exits, I/O cable entry and exit, and overhead
cable-rack mounting. Thermal sensor assemblies for the column are
attached to a perforated panel on top of the highest module in the column,
under the top cap.
A system can have one column or multiple columns. To comply with FCC
and CSA standards for containing electromagnetic interference and radio
frequency interference (EMI/RFI), spacer kits connect the columns in a
multiple-column system. If a Signaling Server is added to a previously
CISPR Class B system (previously used in some specific countries), the
system is now Compliant to Class A.
