Installing the Shelf Controller Cards and Fabric Cards
About the SC and SC-SW Cards
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC offers two types of shelf controller cards: The SC-SW (shelf-controller switch
card) and SC (shelf-controller-only) card. Because a maximum of two SC-SW cards are allowed in an entire
multi-chassis system, two different options are provided,
The SC-SW card is a 56-port combination card that integrates a shelf controller and switch for the NCS 6000
Control Ethernet into one physical card. The shelf-controller (SC) portion controls the route processing and
management functions for the FCC and its components. The switch (SW) portion interconnects all the route
processors (RPs) and SCs in a multi-chassis system. The LEDs on the SC-SW indicate active alarm conditions

The FCC ships with two shelf controller cards, either two SC-SW cards or a combination of one SC-SW card
and one SC card pre-installed in the FCC. The cards are inserted into two dedicated slots on the front of the
FCC. One SC-SW or SC card installs into slot SC0 on the upper card cage and the other SC-SW or SC card
installs into slot SC1 on the lower card cage. Both the upper and lower card slots are identical. The secondary
card is installed for redundancy, so that the loss or removal of a single card does not bring down the FCC. At
least one SC card or SC-SW card must be operational for the FCC to function.
Only two SC-SW cards are supported in an entire multi-chassis system. In a system with more than one
