Line Card Installation
The following line cards are available for the chassis:
 Switch Processor Input/Output (SPIO) Card: SPIOs are installed in chassis slots 24 and 25 behind SMCs.
SPIOs provide interfaces for local and remote management, Central Office (CO) alarming, and eventually,
Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) timing.
 Fast Ethernet Line Card (FLC2): FLC2s are installed directly behind their corresponding packet processing
cards. Each card provides eight 10/100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces that are used as either the R-P or the Pi
interfaces for the 3G wireless data application.
 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (GLC2): GLC2s are installed directly behind their corresponding packet
processing cards. Each card provides a single 802.3z-compliant gigabit Ethernet converter with a Small Form-
factor Pluggable (SFP) module. Supported modules provide optical or copper interfaces.
 Quad Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (QGLC): QGLCs are installed directly behind their corresponding packet
processing cards. Each card provides four 802.3z-compliant gigabit Ethernet interfaces with a Small Form-
factor Pluggable (SFP) module. Supported modules provide fiber or copper connectors.
 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (XGLC): XGLCs are a single-port full-height line card installed directly
behind their corresponding packet processing cards. The cards support 10 gigabit Ethernet interfaces using
industry-standard SFP+ modules. Various fiber types may be used as required.
 Optical (ATM) Line Cards (OLC 2): Four-port OLC2s are installed directly behind their corresponding packet
processing cards. Each card provides four LC duplex ports that accept small SFP modules and supports either
single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cable.
 Channelized (STM-1/OC-3) Line Cards (CLC2): Four-port CLC2s are installed directly behind their
corresponding packet processing cards. The CLC2 provides four LC duplex ports. The ports accept one of two
types of Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules. The SFP type relates to the type of fiber optic cable—
single-mode or multi-mode.
 Redundant Crossbar Card (RCC): RCCs are installed in the lower-middle two slots, directly behind the
SMCs. RCCs provide a redundant data and control path link between each line card and all packet processing
cards. There are no external interfaces on the RCC. Internally, it provides redundant 5 Gbps serial links to each
packet processing card and line card.
The following table provides information for the specific chassis slot assignments for each of the card types.
