Chassis Configurations - Cisco ASR 5000 Series Installation Manual

ASR 5000 Hardware Platform Overview

Chassis Configurations

The system is designed to scale from a minimum configuration, as shown in the table below, to a fully-loaded redundant
configuration containing a maximum of 48 cards.
If session recovery is enabled, the minimum number of packet processing cards per chassis increases from one to four
cards. Three packet processing cards are active and one packet processing card is standby (redundant). This minimal
configuration is designed to protect against software failures only.
