5 RPMs and Line Cards The C150 system accommodates four line cards and two Route Processor Modules (RPMs). Route Processor Modules The C150 system requires the installation of at least one RPM; two are recommended. • One RPM provides each line card with 48 Gigabits of backplane bandwidth. • Two RPMs provides each line card with 96 Gigabits of backplane bandwidth. RPMs can be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot as shown in Figure 2-1 on page 9. Do not force RPMs into card slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation. The RPM must be running FTOS version 7.6.1.0 or later. NOTE: RPMs are hot-swappable. High Availability is supported. NOTE: If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must have the same software image.

. Do not force RPMs
into card slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation.
The RPM must be running FTOS version 7.6.1.0 or later.
NOTE:
RPMs are hot-swappable. High Availability is supported.
NOTE:
If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must have the same software image.
NOTE:
RPMs are interchangeable between the C300 and the C150 only if they are running FTOS version
7.6.1.0 or later.
