As shown, the slot numbers on the MSC side of the chassis include:

Fan tray 0 and fan tray 1

Card cage, including:

Eight line card slots (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

Four half-height switch fabric card slots (SM0, SM1, SM2, and SM3)

Power shelf A and Power shelf B

The MSC slot numbers are reversed from the PLIM slot numbers on the other side of the chassis. Because an MSC mates with its associated PLIM through the midplane, MSC slot 0 is on the far right side of the chassis looking at it from the rear (MSC) side.

PLIM slot 0 is on the far left side of the chassis, looking at if from the front (PLIM) side. MSC slot 0 and PLIM slot 0 mate with each other through the midplane, and so do all other MSC and PLIM slots (0 through 7).

Chassis Cable Management

The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis has cable management features for the front (PLIM) side of the chassis, just above the card cage. The horizontal cable management trays have a special telescoping feature that allows them to be extended when the chassis is upgraded with higher-density cards. This extension also helps when installing the cables in the chassis.

Note Do not install the front cover on the chassis when the telescoping feature is in use.
