GigaVUE‑HC3 Control Cards

The GigaVUE‑HC3 includes a control card installed inside the node, accessible from the rear of the chassis, behind the removable fan tray. The control card provides switching and processing resources for the entire chassis.

The control card connects up to four modules. It is also referred to as the main board.

The control card controls the Mgmt port and console port of the node for network and local administrative access to the GigaVUE‑OS command-line interface (CLI). The ports are located on the extension board installed in the front of the chassis. For more information, refer to the GigaVUE‑HC3 Extension Board.

There are two versions of the control card. Refer to Control Card Version 1 (CCv1) and Control Card Version 2 (CCv2).
