The NP card operates in conjunction with a floppy disk drive (for loading software) and a hard
disk drive (for storing software and configuration data). Together, these elements serve as the
loading, computational, and storage resources for an LS2020 switch.

An LS2020 switch can accommodate a second NP card. If present, the second card serves as a
backup to the first. Each NP card also has an associated access card that provides an Ethernet port
for connectivity within the networking environment.
