Removing and Installing an RP or a Line Card
Line cards can occupy any slot, slot 0 (the top slot) through slot 4, in the RP and
line card cage. (See Figure 6-27.) Your Cisco 12006 or Cisco 12406 Router is
configured with the RP in slot 5 (the bottom slot). A redundant RP can be installed
in any slot. The redundant RP requires a line card spacer to comply with EMI
emission standards.
