Important: In ASR 5000 systems, the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card is a full-height line card that takes up the upper and lower slots in the back of the chassis. Use the upper slot number only when referring to installed XGLCs. Slot numbering for other installed half-height cards is maintained: 17 to 32 and 33 to 48, regardless of the number of installed XGLCs
• Switch Processor Input/Output (SPIO) Card: SPIOs are installed in chassis slots 24 and 25 behind SMCs. SPIOs provide interfaces for local and remote management, Central Office (CO) alarming, and eventually, Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) timing.
• Ethernet 10/100 Card: Ethernet 10/100 cards are installed directly behind their corresponding packet processing cards. Each card provides eight 10/100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces that are used as either the R-P or the Pi interfaces for the 3G wireless data application.
• Ethernet 1000 Card: Ethernet 1000 cards are installed directly behind their corresponding packet processing cards. Each card provides a single 802.3z-compliant gigabit Ethernet converter with a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module. Supported modules provide optical or RJ-45 interfaces.
• Quad Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (QGLC): QGLCs are installed directly behind their corresponding packet processing cards. Each card provides four 802.3z-compliant gigabit Ethernet interfaces with a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module. Supported modules provide fiber or RJ-45 connectors.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (XGLC): XGLCs are a single-port full-height line card installed directly behind their corresponding packet processing cards. The cards support the 10 gigabit Ethernet using industry-standard SFP+ modules. Various fiber types may be used as required. Use the upper slot number only in CLI commands related to the XGLC.
• Optical (ATM) Line Cards (OLC and OLC2): The 4-port OLC and OLC2 Optical Line Cards are installed directly behind their corresponding packet processing cards. Each card provides four LC duplex ports mounted in small SFP modules and supporting either single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cable.
• Channelized (STM-1/OC-3) Line Cards (CLC and CLC2): The CLC and the CLC2 Channelized Line Cards are installed directly behind their corresponding packet processing cards. The CLC provides one LC duplex port; the CLC2 provides four LC duplex ports. The ports are mounted in one of two types of Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules. The SFP type relates to the type of fiber optic cable—single-mode or multi-mode.
• Redundant Crossbar Card (RCC): RCCs are installed in the lower-middle two slots, directly behind the SMCs. RCCs provide a redundant data and control path link between each line card and all packet processing cards. There are no external interfaces on the RCC. Internally, it provides redundant 5Gbps serial links to each packet processing card and line card.
For more detailed information, refer to the Product Overview Guide.Important: Quad Gig-E Line Cards (QGLC) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (XGLC) work only in an ASR 5000 chassis. Install behind packet processing card only.

Ethernet 10/100 or Ethernet 1000 QGLC Redundant Ethernet 10/100 or Ethernet 1000 QGLCESD Caution: During installation, maintenance, and/or removal, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the components. Failure to do so could result in damage to electrical components and could potentially void your warranty.
Important: The 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card is a full-height line card that takes up the upper and lower slots in the back of the chassis. See “Installing Full-Height Line Cards” for installation instructions.
Step 2 Determine which chassis slot to install the card in based on the information in the Chassis Slot Numbering and Assignments section.Caution: To avoid damaging the card’s interlock switch, ensure that it is completely down prior to proceeding. For additional information, refer to the Product Overview Guide.
Important: Make sure the interlock switch is fully raised to properly secure the line card’s top screw to the chassis.
Step 8Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock and to ensure proper ventilation, blanking panels must be used to cover any chassis slot that is not occupied by an application card. Leere Steckplaetze muessen mit der dafuer vorgesehenen Abdeckplatte geschlossen werden, um die Luftzirkulation innerhalb des Geraets zu gewaehrleisten und um einen elektrischen Schlag zu vermeiden.

Step 10ESD Caution: During installation, maintenance, and/or removal, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the components. Failure to do so could result in damage to electrical components and could potentially void your warranty.
Caution: Do not leave chassis slots uncovered for extended periods of time. This reduces airflow through the chassis, which could cause it to overheat. Install a card or a blanking panel s in every chassis slot.
Important: Save all of the items you remove in this step in the event that you wish to re-populate these slots with half-height cards at a later time.
Important: You may need to slightly angle the guide when you slide it out of the chassis to unlatch it.
Caution: To avoid damaging the card’s interlock switch, ensure that it is completely down prior to proceeding. For additional information, refer to the Product Overview Guide.
