Installing and Removing Interface Cards

Caution

Step 1 Step 2

Follow proper safety procedures when performing these steps by reading the safety warnings in Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System 4200 Series Appliance Sensor.

The IPS 4270-20 has nine expansion card slots. Slots 1 and 2 are PCI-X slots and are reserved for future use. Slots 3 through 9 are PCI-Express slots. All slots are full-height slots. Slot 9 is populated by a RAID controller card and is not available for use by network interface cards. The IPS 4270-20 supports two 10GE fiber interface cards, which you can install in any of the supported six slots (slots 3 to 8).

To prevent damage to the IPS 4270-20 or the expansion cards, power down the IPS 4270-20 and remove all AC power cables before removing or installing expansion cards.

To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the IPS 4270-20 unless all expansion slots have a cover or a card installed.

To install and remove interface cards, follow these steps:

Prepare the IPS 4270-20 to be powered off. Wait for the power down message before continuing with Step 3.
