type 1 or type 2 slot???

Post #1 of 7 (2037 views)

HI,
I was talking to my reseller about uprading our M40
with re-233-256. He mentioned I would need to know
what type of RE slot I have. He mentioned Type 1 or
Type 2 slots. I haven't seen that term anywhere and
was wondering if anyone knew what he was talking about
and could explain.

tks

There are different RE models, but I have not heard the term "slot" used
in conjunction with them.

The RE1 originally shipped with the M40. But, the M40 also supports
"special" LS-12- equipped versions of the RE2 and RE3 as well.

The current RE version for the M40 is the RE-M40-600-2048. This is an
RE3 (600 MHz with 2 GM ram) that has the M40's "special" LS-120
removable drive.

I do not suppose the reseller is referring to a PCMCIA Type I vs Type II
slot, as the M40 RE does not have a PCMCIA slot.

So, doing an upgrade from the re-233-256, I get an
entire new assembly? Or do they just trade out the
CPU card that is in that big assembly?

I do not know.

I recall hearing that the LS-120 stuff had to be installed/adapted
on-site but have never had the pleasure of seeing one.

The 233MHz version is RE 1.0, 333MHz is RE 2.0, and 600MHz is RE 3.0. The
233MHz version only shipped with the M40, and is completely non-standard
from all other routing engines (translation: hunk of junk). The upgrade
requires replacing the entire routing engine assembly with a new model
which accepts one of the 2.0 or 3.0 RE's internally.

So, is the M20-re-333-768 an RE 2.0? Does the new
assembly I get then allow me to use the same RE as the
M20?
