Installing RPMs and Line Cards
The C150 system accommodates four Line Cards and two Route Processor Modules (RPMs).
The C300 System accommodates eight line cards and two Route Processor Modules (RPMs).
RPMs
The C-Series system requires 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.
· Blanks are required in empty slots to control airflow for adequate system cooling, personal safety, and EMI containment during operation. All chassis slots must be installed with operational modules or blanks. Always replace cards and blank panels immediately.
· The blank panels for RPMs and line cards are different sizes (RPM blanks are smaller); be sure that blank panels are installed in the correct slots.
· RPMs are hot-swappable. High Availability is supported.
· If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must have the same software image.
· RPMs are interchangable between the C300 and the C150 only if they are running FTOS version 7.6.1.0 or later.

10

Installing the Hardware

https://manual-hub.com/

CAUTION: RPMs are designed to be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot. Do not force RPMs into line cards slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation.
Line Cards
Line cards are hot-swappable. Any line card can be inserted into any line card slot. On the C150, line card slots are numbered 0 to 3. On the C300, Line card slots are labeled 0 to 7. The slot numbering labels can be seen when the fan tray is installed.
· The LC-CB-GE-48P and LC-CB-10GE-8P line cards are interchangeable between the C300 and C150 only if the chassis is running FTOS version 7.6.1.0 or later.
· Blanks are required in empty slots to control airflow for adequate system cooling, personal safety, and EMI containment during operation. All chassis slots must be installed with operational modules or blanks. Always replace cards and blank panels immediately.
Installing RPMs and Line Cards
WARNING: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or foot-heel ground strap when handling RPMs or line cards. Place RPMs and line cards on an antistatic surface when they are not installed. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled.
CAUTION: Unlock the levers before inserting the line card into the chassis. Fully engage the locking mechanism after the card has been inserted; not doing so might damage the card below it when that lower card is inserted.
NOTE: The fan tray face panel has slot number markings for the RPMs and line cards. Insert the fan tray before the line cards to simplify RPM and line card installation.

Step

Task

1

Extend the left and right card levers by first pressing gently down on the

thumb tabs in the ejector levers and then pulling the ejector levers

simultaneously until they are in the open position.

with the screws provided.

Installing the Fan Tray
The C-Series chassis contains one field-replaceable fan tray. There are two types of fan tray that may be installed: one contains six fans that run at varying speeds depending on system temperature; the other one contains six fans that run at a constant speed. For both types of trays, air flows through the system toward the fans (right to left) and is exhausted on fan-side of the chassis. The fan tray is accessible from the front of the chassis.
WARNING: To ensure proper temperature and airflow control, the fan tray must always be installed and operating properly.
NOTE: The system does not have an air filter so take special care in making sure that the installation site and the chassis itself are cleaned regularly.

Step

Task

A port may either be an untagged member of a single VLAN, or a tagged member of perhaps multiple VLANs.
· Untagged Ports -- ports that do not append an 802.1Q VLAN tag to frames on egress, and do not accept tagged frames on ingress (tagged frames are dropped). Untagged ports must be connected to VLAN-unaware devices.
· Tagged Ports -- ports that append an 802.1Q tag to frames on egress, and accept only tagged frames on ingress (untagged frames are dropped). Tagged ports must be connected to VLAN-aware devices.
When you configure an enabled port as a switchport, the port is placed in the default VLAN. To remove a switchport from the default VLAN, remove the switchport configuration. To move the port to another VLAN, add it to the desired VLAN as either a tagged or untagged member.
To view just the interfaces that are in Layer 2 mode, enter the show interfaces switchport command in the EXEC mode.
