About RP Cards
The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis supports two route processors (RPs). These cards provide the intelligence
of the system by functioning as the shelf controllers for DWDM or OTN applications and by providing
route processing and chassis management. The RP cards also monitor system alarms and control the
system fans. LEDs on the front panel indicate active alarm conditions.
Two RPs per chassis are required for a redundant system. RP cards are inserted into the two dedicated
slots in the chassis, located on the top and bottom right in the card cage.
See the
“Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation of an RP Card” section on page 5-9
for details
about LEDs, troubleshooting, and the front panel of the RP card.
