ASR 5000 Hardware Platform Overview
The GLC2 supports the Star Channel (1 Gbps) for faster FPGA upgrades and is Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) 6/6 compliant.
The GLC2s can be installed in chassis slots 17 through 23, 26 through 39, and 42 through 48. These cards are always
installed directly behind their respective or packet processing cards, but they are not required behind any redundant
packet processing cards (those operating in Standby mode).
