Modular Chassis Deployment
The E7-2 MC platform operates as a ‘node’ such that it is managed as a complete entity;
adding and deleting service, updating within a node concept, operationally managing troubles
and diagnosis as a node. Configuration and installation of ‘stacked’ units to the node is
automatically handled with ease of visual indicators to ensure cables are connected properly.

Considerations for VDSL2-based cards in a modular chassis
The VDSL2-48C / VDSL2-48 line cards are supported components of the modular
chassis architecture and platform deployment model.
Modular chassis with VDSL2 cards support SFP ports at 2.5GE data rates for inter-
chassis stacking ring connectivity.
The VDSL2-48C card shares a common EXA Powered architecture and feature set
common to all E7 cards and can be mixed interchangeably with other E7 cards to
provide an application specific solution.
Single-card Modular Chassis Controller (MCC) is supported when deploying a multi-shelf
E7-2 with VDSL2-48 Overlay cards.
