Cisco Systems 8500 manual Supporting Modules

Chapter 1 Concepts

EM Objects and Interfaces

•Up to 2 route processor modules, where 1 processor is the primary and 1 is redundant

•Up to 3 switch processor modules (Switch Fabric Cards), where 2 processors are primary and 1 is redundant

•Up to 2 AC or DC power supplies, providing redundancy in the event that one supply fails

Caution Do not mix power supplies within the Cisco Catalyst 8540. In multiple power supply system configurations, all power supplies must be of the same type (either 2 AC–input power supplies or 2 DC–input power supplies).

Supporting Modules

The EM supports three types of supporting modules within a chassis. Some modules only apply to certain chassis types.

•SFC (Switch Fabric Card)

•AC or DC Power Supply Module—Chassis can be ordered with either dual–redundant AC or DC power supply modules.

•Fan Tray—The fan tray circulates cooling air through the card cage in the chassis.

The EM does not provide for management of supporting modules.

Modules

The EM supports the following processor modules.

Table 1-2 C8500MGR Supported Processor Modules

Processor Sub Module	Description
C8545MSR-MRP3CLK	C8540 multiservice router processor stratum 3
C8545MSR-MRP4CLK	C8540 multiservice route processor
C8546MSR-MSP-FCL	C8540 multiservice switch processor with ATM FC
C8515-MSRP	C8510 multiservice switch route processor
L1010-ASP-C-FC-1	LS1010 ATM switch processor with FC-per-class queuing

The EM supports three types of module interfaces and port adapters:

•Generic—For a complete listing of the Generic module interfaces and port adapters the EM supports see Table 1-3.

•ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)—For a complete listing of the ATM module interfaces and port adapters the EM supports see Table 1-4.

•Ethernet (Fast or Gigabit)—Fast Ethernet supports data transfer rates of 100 Mbps; Gigabit Ethernet supports data transfer rates of 1000 Mbps (or 1 Gigabit). For a complete listing of the Ethernet module interfaces and port adapters C8500MGR supports see Table 1-5.
