Hardware Overview Introduction
Figure 2-2 Front view of a fully loaded RS 8600 chassis
The RS 8600 chassis contains sixteen slots, numbered from 0 to 15. Slot 0 is in the lower left corner of the chassis and
slot 15 is in the upper right corner. The RS 8600 also has slots for primary and redundant switching fabric modules.
On both the RS 8000 and RS 8600, slot 0 is labeled “CM” and contains the primary Control Module. The CM slot
cannot be used for line cards. The primary Control Module must be installed in this slot. The CM/1 slot can contain a
redundant Control Module (if you install one) or can contain a line card. Slots 2 to 7 on the RS 8000 or slots 2 to 15
on the RS 8600 can contain any line cards. (See Section 2.4.4, "Control Module" and Section 2.4.8, "RS 8000/8600
Line Cards" for information about these items.)
You can install line cards in any order in the slots. For example, you could install line cards in slots 2 and 5 and leave
the other line card slots empty. The RS provides non-blocking throughput regardless of the software features you are
using. Therefore, you do not need to “load balance” line cards by placing them in certain relationships to balance the
load on the backplane. Regardless of where you install the line cards, the backplane can provide full, non-blocking
throughput.
