Installing an RP Card
Every Cisco NCS 6008 LCC contains two route processor (RP) cards in dedicated slots on the rear side
of the chassis. The RP cards are identical. One RP card installs into slot RP0 on the left of the card cage,
while the second RP card installs into slot RP1 on the right of the card cage.
