This section provides general information about alarm cards, line cards and types
of route processors installed in the router.
The Cisco 12000 series router supports online insertion and removal (OIR),
allowing you to remove and replace a card while the router remains powered on.
The router is equipped with 2 alarm cards:
One alarm card occupies the dedicated far left slot of the upper card cage.
•
•
The other alarm card occupies the dedicated far right slot of the lower card
cage.
The alarm card slots differ from the rest of the card cage slots in that it is labeled
as an "alarm" card slot, is physically narrower than the other slots, and has a
different backplane connector.
