Note The installation of a Cisco NCS 6008 chassis may require space, floor loading, power, and cooling
modifications to a facility. Therefore, you should plan the site well in advance of the scheduled delivery
of the chassis system.
The Cisco NCS 6008 chassis is a mechanical enclosure that contains a chassis midplane and packet
interfaces on line cards cross-connected to each other through a switch fabric. The chassis has eight slots
at the front for Line Cards (LCs), two slots at the rear for Route Processor (RP) cards, and six slots at
the rear for Fabric Cards (FCs).
The Cisco NCS 6008 chassis has an integrated rack and does not require an external rack. It is bolted to
the facility floor. It contains its own power system consisting of six AC or DC power trays holding up to
18 AC Power Modules (PMs) or up to 24 DC PMs. It also contains its own cooling system with two fan
trays.
