About RP Cards

The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis supports two route processors (RPs). These cards provide the intelligence of the
system by functioning as the shelf controllers for DWDM or OTN applications and by providing route
processing and chassis management. The RP cards also monitor system alarms and control the system fans.
LEDs on the front panel indicate active alarm conditions.
Two RPs per chassis are required for a redundant system. RP cards are inserted into the two dedicated slots
in the chassis, located on the top and bottom right in the card cage.
See the
troubleshooting, and the front panel of the RP card.
