Introduction
The ASR 5000 chassis ships with all rear line card slots configured for half-height line cards. If you are
installing a full-height line card, such as the XGLC, you must prepare a full-height slot to receive it.
Full-height line cards occupy two half-height slots: an upper chassis slot and the lower chassis slot directly
beneath it. For example, if a PSC2 is installed in slot 1, its corresponding XGLC would be installed in slots
17 and 33.
Important
Caution During installation, maintenance, and/or removal, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to
the components. Failure to do so could result in damage to sensitive electronic components and potentially
void your warranty.
