Okay
Simple answer.
2 cabinets with one RCOU+RCOS for 8 lines in would allow you to have a toal of 80 stations. 5 PDKU2 cards in each cabinet. If you need more lines in, for every 8 lines in you add (RCOU+RCOS card), subtract 1 PDKU (8 stations). The processors that you are using will allow up to 6 cabinets (1 base and 5 expansion). To use all of the PDKU cards that you have (for stations, aka phones) you will need at least one more expansion cabinet.
This assumes that you have NO caller ID, no single line phones, no external voice mail, etc...
GET A MANUAL AND READ IT!!!!!

Ok clear enuf...I give a try now and report back and tell you guys what mess I getting into

And YES I DO HAVE THE MANUAL.

Ok...let me straight this mess out.

I have 5 PDKU card(line come from the 66 block) and 16 RCOU/RCOS(4 phone jack in each card)

I assume you mean that you have a total of 4 RCOU/RCOS combinations, for a total of 16 "jacks" which means that you have 32 incoming phone lines. If this is the case, then with 2 cabinets you are maxed out at 56 stations (phones) which works out to 7 PDKU cards. You should be able to just put the two extra PDKU cards in and program them. Just check the manual for locations.

Yep, I hope so. I just track down my package and it should be here by tomorrow

Eng,
One last thing, the system capacity can be reduced by some other cards in the system. Do you have voice mail? Depending on the V-mail system, it can reduce capacity. So can single line cards. Are you running modems or faxes through the system? If yes, you have single line ports. These eat up some of the capacity.
Good Luck!

Yep we have Stratgy VM and we dont use fax or modem from the ksu.
I installed and it work.
