Description

Retired OL-0716-10 and created this guide with the same organization as the Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Hardware Installation Guide, using a book part for each type of line card, such as ATM.

Because more up-to-date and complete information is included in the Cisco 10000 Series Router Software Configuration Guide and the Cisco 10000 Series Quality of Service Configuration Guide, the Qos and APS chapters were not ported to the new guide.

Removed several sections that have been moved to more appropriate locations in other guides:

Configuring the router at startup (moved to the Cisco 10008 Quick Start Guide and the Cisco 10008 Router Hardware Installation Guide)

Managing file systems (moved to the Cisco 10008 Quick Start Guide and the Cisco 10008 Router Hardware Installation Guide)

Managing PRE redundancy (moved to the Cisco 10000 Series Router Performance Routing Engine Installation)

Upgrading software (moved to the Cisco 10000 Series Router Performance Routing Engine Installation)

Managing system boot parameters (moved to the Cisco 10008 Router Hardware Installation Guide)

Incorporated information on provisioning a subrate E3 or T3 interface, formerly documented in a feature guide, as Chapter 17, "Provisioning a Subrate E3 or T3 Interface" in this guide.

Added the minimum IOS releases that are supported by each line card.

Revised information for preprovisioning a line card.
