Installing an MSC, FP, or LSP Line Card

This section describes how to install a modular services card (MSC), forwarding processor (FP) card, or label
switch processor (LSP) in the LCC.
The MSC, FP, and LSP are Layer 3 forwarding engines.
• The MSCs include: CRS-MSC, CRS-MSC-B, CRS-MSC-140G, and CRS-MSC-X/CRS-MSC-X-L
• The FPs include: CRS-FP-140, CRS-FP-X/CRS-FP-X-L (200G).
• The LSP is: CRS-LSP.
The following figure shows the CRS-MSC-140G MSC. The other MSCs and the FP and LSP cards are similar.
Caution MSC-140G, FP-140, and LSP line cards should only be paired with 20-port and 14-port 10-GE XFP PLIMs
and 1-port 100-GE CFP PLIMs. The MSC-40 line card should not be paired with 20-port and 14-port 10-GE
XFP PLIMs or 1-port 100-GE CFP PLIMs. The MSC-40 line card can be paired with all previous PLIMs.
