10 Installing the Hardware
NOTE: The higher power of PoE+ (30W/port) is available only with Power
Supply 1600W-AC and the PoE+ line card. When using PoE line card or PoE+ line
card and Power Supply 1200W-AC, only 15.4W/port power is available. The
maximum power per port is listed in the table below.
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.
