Cisco XR 12000 Series Router Ethernet Line Card Installation
OL-7861-01
Important Information
Note The Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers must have a full set of switch fabric cards installed to support the
requirements of the Ethernet line cards. See the appropriate Cisco 12000 Series Router installation
guide for information about the switch fabric and other related requirements.
Note Because the 10-Port 1-Gigabit Ethernet, 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet, and Modular Gigabit Ethernet line
cards require a card cage slot that is 1.8 inches (4.5 centimeters) wide, you can use these line cards in
only the Cisco 12416 Router, Cisco 12410 Router, Cisco 12406 Router, Cisco 12404 Router, Cisco
12816 Router, and Cisco 12810 Router.
Cisco IOS Software Release and Hardware Revision Requirements
The Ethernet line cards have certain Cisco IOS software requirements. Also, to ensure compatibility with
the software, your Ethernet line card should have a specific hardware revision number. The number is
printed on a label affixed to the component side of the card and is displayed by the show diag command.
Table 3 lists the hardware and software requirements for Ethernet line cards.
The show diag slot_number, show version, and show hardware commands display the current
hardware configuration of the router, including the system software version that is currently loaded and
running, and the hardware revision number. For complete descriptions of show commands, refer to the
Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Configuration
Fundamentals Command Reference for the installed Cisco IOS release.
If the command displays indicate that the Cisco IOS software is a version earlier than you need, check
the contents of flash memory to determine if the required images are available on your system. The dir
devicename command displays a list of all files stored in flash memory. If you do not have the correct
software version, contact Cisco customer service.
For software configuration information, refer to the Cisco IOS software configuration and command
reference publications for the installed Cisco IOS release. Also refer to the Cisco IOS software release
notes for additional information.
