Hardware Redundancy Configuration
The maximum redundant configuration for a fully loaded system supporting data services consists of the following:
2 SMCs: 1 active and 1 standby (redundant)
14 processing cards: 13 active and 1 standby
2 SPIOs: 1 active and 1 standby
26 Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet line cards: 13 active and 13 standby (10/100 Ethernet Line Card (FELC), 1000
Gigabit Line Card (GELC), and Quad Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (QGLC))
2 1000 Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (XGLC): 1 active, 1 standby. Note that the XGLC, which is a full-height
line card that populates both the upper and lower slots of the chassis, uses a side-by-side redundancy scheme.
Refer to the Hardware Installation and Administration Guide for more information.

26 Optical (ATM) line cards: 13 active and 13 standby (OLC and OLC2)
26 Channelized line cards: 13 active and 13 standby (CLC and CLC2)
2 RCCs: 2 standby
This configuration allows for the highest session capacity while still providing redundancy. The following figures depict
this recommended maximum redundant configuration.
