Rear Cards - Cisco ASR 5500 Installation Manual

▀ Card Types

Rear Cards

The ASR 5500 supports four types of rear-mounted cards:

Management I/O Card (MIO) or Management I/O Universal Card (UMIO) [two per system]

Data Processing Card (DPC) or Data Processing Universal Card (UDPC) [up to eight per system]
The ARS 5500 supports ten rear cards, a mix of MIOs, UMIOs, DPCs and/or UDPCs. Each card is interconnected with
the others via the switching fabric.
Important:
Universal PID license must be purchased and installed on the chassis for each installed UMIO and UDPC. Contact your
Cisco account representative for additional information.
Management I/O
The ASR 5500 chassis supports two MIO and/or UMIO cards placed in the rear facing slots of the chassis. These cards
perform chassis management, as well as local context and non-local context external I/O operations.
Important:
redundant across slots 5 and 6. For example, port 10 on the MIO in slot 5 is redundant with port 10 on the MIO in slot 6.
Each MIO/UMIO has:
 One CPU subsystem with 96 GB of RAM
 Four NPU subsystems
The two 1000Base-T (1GbE) ports on MIO/UMIO cards can only be used for local context (OAM). An MIO/UMIO
includes support for:
 Midplane connections for chassis control operations
 SAS storage controller for FSC solid state drives (SSDs)
 RS-232 serial console (RJ45) for CLI management
 USB port for an external flash device
 32 GB SDHC internal flash device
MIO/UMIO cards support two daughter card (DCs) for external I/O interfaces (100 Gbps aggregate per DC). The
optical ports on the daughter cards can only be used for non-local context. The currently available DC supports ten 10
GbE interfaces. The interface ports accept SFP+ SR and LR transceivers.
