Installing a Passive SCM or SFM
You can install a passive SCM or SFMs (which includes SFM2s) in a CSS 11800
chassis. Passive modules are stand-by modules in case of an active module failure.
When an active module fails, the passive module becomes active. Passive modules
do not load share processing functions with the active module.
Note The SCM contains a small lithium battery. Some jurisdictions restrict the ways in
which items containing lithium batteries may be disposed. In particular, lithium
batteries or products containing lithium batteries may never be disposed of in an
unregulated fire. Other restrictions might apply. See Appendix A, Specifications
for lithium battery disposal warnings.
Warning
Ultimate disposal of a lithium battery should be handled according to all
national laws and regulations.
The CSS 11800 enables you to install a passive:
• SCM for the active SCM
• SFM for each of the two active SFMs (total of four SFMs)
Note You can mix SFMs with SFM2s in the same CSS 11800 chassis. However, you
must use the same type module as the active SFM and as the passive SFM.
To install a passive SCM or SFM:
1. Properly ground yourself prior to handling the module.
2. If the CSS is powered up, power it down.
3. As defined in Table 1-1:
• SCMs are restricted to slots 7 or 8
• Passive SFMs are restricted to slots 5 and 10 (by default, active SFMs are
in slots 6 and 9, respectively)
4. If necessary, remove a blank panel from the chassis to expose a slot.
