Since I'm looking for a partner system for my home, I am just going to go thru eBay for my rquipment. There are numerous new/unused processors available, but some do not include a PC card. My understanding from the manual is that when I first power up the system, it will not initialize unless I have a PC card in the slot. So if for some reason I wind up with no PC card, do I have a useless system until I obtain one?

They don't need the PC card to run, the PC card you are talking about is for a one time upgrade and depending on the PC card it may be a [remote and backup and restore card]

You don't need a pc card to use the Partner system. They are for advanced features like backup and restore of the database, remote access and administration, voice mail, automatic system answer, direct extension dialing and software release update. If you want to use a feature provided by a pc card later you can add it then with no problem. You just have to be sure the system is powered down when adding or removing a pc card. When a pc card is added and the system is powered up the system recognizes the card and sets some default parameters, Each type of pc card comes with its own set programming instructions.

That's what I thought. The manual just threw me off..when I think of initializing, I think of re-setting to factory defaults or setting up the system for the first time....Avaya should re-word their manual.
