Installing and Removing Interface Cards
The IPS 4260 has 6 expansion card slots, three full-height and three half-height slots. You can install the
optional network interface cards in the two top full-height slots, slots 2 and 3. IPS 4260 supports up to
two network interface cards.
Note
The IPS 4260 supports only one 10GE fiber interface card, which you can install in either of the
supported slots (slots 2 and 3).
Note
We recommend that you install the 4GE bypass interface card in slot 2 if you are installing only one 4GE
bypass card. This improves accessibility to the RJ45 cable connectors.
To install and remove interface cards, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI.
Step 2
Prepare the IPS 4260 to be powered off. Wait for the power down message before continuing with Step 3.
