Installing RPMs and Line Cards

The C-Series System accommodates eight line cards and two RPMs.

Route Processor Modules

The C-Series system requires the installation of at least one Route Processor Module (RPM); two are
recommended.
• One RPM provides 48 Gigabits of bandwidth to each line card.
• Two RPMs provides 96 Gigabits of bandwidth to each line card.
RPMs are designed to be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot (see
line cards slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation.
NOTE: If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must contain the same software image.
