Card Chassis Overview
This installation guide describes how to install the power, air circulation, line card, and external
components into and remove them from a Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis.
This chapter introduces the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis at the highest level. It contains
illustrations of the front and rear of the chassis, complete with callouts to each hardware component. For
details on each subsystem discussed in this chapter, see Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis System Description.
This chapter presents the following topics:
• Chassis Overview, page 1-1
• Chassis Components, page 1-2
• Chassis Slot Numbers, page 1-9

Chassis Overview
The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis can be installed in locations where the 16-slot system may not
fit (for example, colocation facilities, data centers, and many Tier II and Tier III locations). The routing
system consists of a single rack-mount chassis that contains the following major system components:
• Up to eight modular services cards (MSCs), forwarding processor (FP) cards, and label switch
processor (LSP) cards, also called line cards (up to eight)
• Physical layer interface modules, or PLIMs (up to eight, one for each line card)
• Route processor (RP) cards (up to two) or performance route processor (PRP) cards (up to two)
• Switch fabric cards (four required)
• SPA Interface Processors (SIPs) and Shared Port Adapters (SPAs) which can be installed instead of
PLIMs

Chassis Components
Chapter 1 Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis Overview
–
SIP is a carrier card that is similar to a PLIM and inserts into a line card chassis slot and
interconnects to an MSC, FP, or LSP like a PLIM. Unlike PLIMs, SIPs provide no network
connectivity on their own.
–
SPA is a modular type of port adapter that inserts into a subslot of a compatible SIP carrier card
to provide network connectivity and increased interface port density. A SIP can hold one or
more SPAs, depending on the SIP type and the SPA size. POS/SDH and Gigabit Ethernet SPAs
are available.
• A chassis midplane that connects MSCs, FPs, or LSPs to their PLIMs and to switch fabric cards.
The LCC supports 40G, 140G, and 200G fabric cards, as follows:
• The Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System uses fabric cards designed for 40 G operation
(CRS-8-FC/S or CRS-8-FC/M cards).
• The Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System uses fabric cards designed for 140G operation
(CRS-8-FC140/S or CRS-8-FC140/M cards).
• The Cisco CRS-X Carrier Routing Sytsem uses fabric cards designed for 200G operation
(CRS-8-FC400/S cards in 200G mode).
A mixture of 40G, 140G, and 200G fabric cards is not supported except during migration.
NoteThroughout this document, the generic term Cisco CRS Carrier Routing system refers to the Cisco
This section lists the main components of a Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis. It primarily identifies the
components that are considered field-replaceable units (FRUs), but where additional detail is useful
identifies subassemblies that are not field replaceable.
Figure 1-1 shows the front view of a Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis with a fixed configuration AC
power system installed. The front view of a Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis with a fixed configuration
DC power system installed is similar.

The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis contains:
• As many as eightMSC, FP or LSP cards (all types are also called line cards), and eightPLIMs. The
line card and PLIM are an associated pair of cards that mate through the chassis midplane. The line
card provides the forwarding engine for Layer 3 routing of user data, and the PLIM provides the
physical interface and connectors for the user data. The line card can be associated with several
different PLIMs, which provide different interface speeds and technologies.
NoteFor a complete list of line cards, route processors, SPAs and SIPs, and interface modules supported in
the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis, go to the Cisco Carrier Routing System Data Sheets at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5763/products_data_sheets_list.html.

Chassis Components
Chapter 1 Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis Overview
• A chassis midplane that connects line cards to their associated PLIMs. The midplane design allows
a line card to be removed from the chassis without having to disconnect the cables that are attached
to the associated PLIM. The midplane distributes power, connects the line cards to the switch fabric
cards, and provides control plane interconnections. The midplane is not field replaceable by the
customer.
• One or two route processor cards (RPs). The RPs provide the intelligence of the system by
functioning as the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis system controller (serving as part of the control
plane in multi-chassis systems) and providing route processing. Only one RP is required for system
operation. For redundant operation, you can order a second RP as an option (CRS-8-RP/R). When
two RPs are used, only one RP is active at a time. The second RP acts as a “standby” RP, serving as
a backup if the active RP fails.
The RP also monitors system alarms and controls the system fans. LEDS on the front panel indicate
active alarm conditions.
A Performance Route Processor (PRP) is also available for the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis.
Two PRPs perform the same functions as two RPs, but provide enhanced performance for both route
processing and system controller functionality.
NoteA chassis may not be populated with a mix of RP and PRP cards. Both route processor cards
should be of the same type (RP or PRP).
• Upper and lower fan trays. The fans pull cool air through the chassis. A removable air filter is located
below the PLIM card cage at the front of the chassis.
• Four half-height switch fabric cards (SFCs). These cards provide the three-stage Benes switch fabric
for the routing system. The switch fabric performs the cross-connect function of the routing system,
connecting every MSC (and its associated PLIM) with every other MSC (and its associated PLIM)
in the system.
The switch fabric receives user data from one line card and PLIM pair and performs the switching
necessary to route the data to the appropriate egress line card and PLIM pair. The switch fabric is
divided into eight planes that are used to evenly distribute the traffic across the switch fabric. Each
switch fabric card implements two planes of the switch fabric.
• A power system that provides redundant power to the chassis. Two types of power systems are
available: fixed configuration power and modular configuration power. Both power configurations
use either AC or DC power. The fixed configuration power solution contains two power distribution
units (PDUs), with either one AC rectifier or one DC power entry modules (PEM) per PDU. The
modular configuration power solution contains two power shelves with either up to four DC power
modules (PMs) or up to three AC PMs per power shelf.
The PLIM side of the chassis is considered the front of the chassis, where user data cables attach to the
PLIMs and cool air enters the chassis. The MSC side, which is where warm air is exhausted, is
considered the rear of the chassis.

As shown, the slot numbers on the MSC side of the chassis include:
• Fan tray 0 and fan tray 1
• Card cage, including:
–
Eight line card slots (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
–
Four half-height switch fabric card slots (SM0, SM1, SM2, and SM3)
• Power shelf A and Power shelf B
The MSC slot numbers are reversed from the PLIM slot numbers on the other side of the chassis.
Because an MSC mates with its associated PLIM through the midplane, MSC slot 0 is on the far right
side of the chassis looking at it from the rear (MSC) side.
PLIM slot 0 is on the far left side of the chassis, looking at if from the front (PLIM) side. MSC slot 0
and PLIM slot 0 mate with each other through the midplane, and so do all other MSC and PLIM slots (0
through 7).
Chassis Cable Management
The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis has cable management features for the front (PLIM) side of the
chassis, just above the card cage. The horizontal cable management trays have a special telescoping
feature that allows them to be extended when the chassis is upgraded with higher-density cards. This
extension also helps when installing the cables in the chassis.
NoteDo not install the front cover on the chassis when the telescoping feature is in use.

The chassis has two fan trays, each with four fans, that cool the chassis card cages. Cool air flows in at
the bottom front of the chassis and flows through the chassis card cages and through the fans in the fan
trays before being exhausted through the bottom rear of the chassis (see Figure 1-9). In addition, each
AC or DC power module at the bottom of the chassis has self-contained fans that pull in cool air from
the front of the chassis and exhaust warm air out the rear.
A replaceable air filter is located on the front of the chassis below the PLIM card cage. Each fixed
configuration power module also has a replaceable air filter that attaches to the module at the front
(PLIM) side of the chassis. How often the air filters should be replaced depends on the facility
environment. In a dirty environment, or when you start getting frequent temperature alarms, you should
always check the intake grills for debris, and then check the air filters to see if they need to be replaced.
NoteWe recommend that you check the air filters once a month. Replace a filter when you notice a significant
amount of dust.

Chassis Power System
Two types of power systems are available for the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis: fixed configuration
power and modular configuration power. Both power systems can be powered by either AC or DC power.
The chassis power system takes the facility power and converts it to the DC voltage necessary to power
chassis components.
For more information, refer to Chapter 2, “Installing and Removing Power Components.”
