FPC Installation Instructions
7
FPC Description
M160 FPCs Description
In an M160 router, up to eight FPCs install vertically into the midplane from the front of the
chassis. Each FPC is referenced by the number of the slot in which it is installed. The slot
numbers range from FPC0 through FPC7, from left to right in the chassis.
The M160 router supports the two types of FPC shown in Figure 5:
! FPC1—Accommodates up to four lower-speed PICs such as single-port OC-12 and
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The offline button for each PIC is on the FPC card carrier.
! FPC2—Accommodates up to four higher-speed PICs, such as OC-48, and Tunnel
interfaces. The offline button for each PIC is on the PIC faceplate.
Figure 5: FPC1 and FPC2 for the M160 Router
Any combination of the two FPC types can be installed in the M160 router. The installation
and removal of the two FPC types is identical, so the instructions in this document refer to
both types simply as “FPC”.
