Installing and Removing Interface Cards

The IPS 4260 has 6 expansion card slots, three full-height and three half-height slots. You can install the
optional network interface cards in the two top full-height slots, slots 2 and 3. IPS 4260 supports up to
two network interface cards.
The IPS 4260 supports only one 10GE fiber interface card, which you can install in either of the
Note
supported slots (slots 2 and 3).
We recommend that you install the 4GE bypass interface card in slot 2 if you are installing only one 4GE
Note
bypass card. This improves accessibility to the RJ45 cable connectors.
To install and remove interface cards, follow these steps:
Log in to the CLI.
