Installing the Line Card

• The C-Series chassis requires at least one line card to operate.

• You can add, replace, or remove C-Series line cards without
operations (hot-swappable). Any line card can be inserted into any line card slot. Line card slots are labeled 0
to 7; these labels can be seen when the fan tray is installed.

• Blanks are required in empty slots to control a
containment during operation.

• The blank panels do not have board components or connector pi
slide toward the backplane.

• Use fiber optic cables and connectors in compliance with
11801 (2nd Edition) elsewhere.

Installation Notes: The fan tray face panel has slot number markings for the RPMs and line
cards. Insert the fan tray before the line cards to simplify RPM and line card installation.
