Troubleshooting the SC or SC-SW Card
If the installed card fails to operate or to power on after installation:
•
Ensure that the card is seated firmly in the FCC slot. One easy way to verify physical installation is to
see whether the front faceplate of the card is even with the fronts of the other cards installed in the card
cage.
•
Ensure that the ejector levers are latched and that the captive screws are fastened properly. If you are
uncertain, unlatch the levers, loosen the screws, and attempt to reseat the card.
•
Examine the power system to see whether the FCC is receiving power.
About the Fabric Cards
The Cisco NCS 6000 switch fabric is a 3-stage cell-based architecture with six fabric planes. The S2 Fabric
Card (FC) and S2 FC2 cards implement the second stage of the switch fabric. The S13 Multi Chassis (MC)
FC and Universal fabric Card (UFC) cards implement the first and third stages of the switch fabric and reside
in the Cisco NCS 6008 Line Card Chassis (LCC). The FCs provide the switch fabric for the routing system
and perform the cross-connect function of the routing system, connecting every LC to each other. The switch
