Installed a new BCM50e. Added the keycodes for the expansion modules. Installed a GATM8 MBM in the 1st expansion module, Element Mgr. says Expansion 1 CTM8/GATM8 N/A, Expansion 1.1 CTM4/GATM4 Disabled, Expansion 1.2 CTM4/GATM4 Disabled. Is 1.1 lines 65-68 and 1.2 73-76 my new module? If so what is Expansion 1?
 
Expansion 1 is the cabinet itself. The system sees a 8 port card as 2 separate 4 port cards. Enable 1.1 and 1.2, and look under Lines/Enabled Physical Lines to see the numbering. 65-68 is correct for 1.1, and I think 1.2 is 72-75, but I could be mistaken.
 
I've rebooted a couple of times since adding all of the BCM50 patches and the cards state still says "Enabling?
 
If you haven't tried already, try powering down the expansion cabinet while leaving the main cabinet powered on. Fire the expansion back up and see if that helps.

Is the expansion plugged into the port labelled "2"? Third one over from the left.
 
Make sure you remove power from the expansion for at least 30 seconds. There is a known issue with short power interuptions that the expansion will not enable correctly.
