What is a Hotwire 8 312/8314 MVL or ReachDSL/MVL Card?
A Hotwire® 8312/8314 MVL® card is a circuit card assembly that contains 12 MVL
ports, an interface to the Network Service Provider (NSP), and a processor. The
processor controls the MVL ports and forwards the packet traffic to and from the
uplink and MVL interfaces.
When the MVL card is used in a Hotwire Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer (DSLAM) or 8620/8820 GranDSLAM chassis and connected to the
Hotwire 6310 MVL Modem, it provides high-speed Internet or intranet access over
traditional twisted-pair telephone wiring.

Installing the 8312/8314 Card
Procedure
To install the Hotwire 8312/8314 MVL or ReachDSL/MVL Card in a Hotwire
chassis:
1. If there is a filler plate covering the slot, remove it.
2. Insert the card into the card guides of the slot on the chassis. For the
8610 DSLAM, ensure that the components are facing up.
3. Carefully slide the card into the slot. Gently, but firmly, push the card until it
engages its mating connectors on the backplane.
4. Verify that the OK SYSTEM indicator on the card’s faceplate is ON (green).
If not, refer to the appropriate chassis installation document.
5. Secure the card by fastening the screws on each end of the faceplate. This is
required to maintain proper gasket pressure on the faceplate as well as proper
air flow.
