5 Installing RPMs and Line Cards The C300 System accommodates eight line cards and two RPMs. Route Processor Modules The C300 system requires the installation of 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. RPMs are designed to be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot (see Figure 2-1). Do not force RPMs into RPM or line cards slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation. NOTE: If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must contain the same software image.

Installing RPMs and Line Cards
The C300 System accommodates eight line cards and two RPMs.
Route Processor Modules
The C300 system requires the installation of 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.
RPMs are designed to be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot (see
Figure
2-
1
). Do not force RPMs into
RPM or line cards slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation.
NOTE:
If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must contain the same software image.
