Checking the front of the chassis
Figure 1-5 shows the front slots of a fully configured Stinger MS+.
Figure 1-5. The Stinger MS+ (front view)
The top slot in the front of the Stinger MS+, labeled CTRL, is reserved for the control
module; it cannot be used for line interface modules (LIMs). To maintain the
uniformity across the Stinger product line, this slot is logically referred to by the
TAOS software as slot 8. Slots that are not occupied by modules must be masked with
blank covers to ensure proper air flow through the unit.
Verifying the control module model
The Stinger MS+ unit supports three different revision 2 control modules, and a
revision 2.1 control module.
The following table details the Stinger FS and Stinger FS+ control modules:
