Line Card LEDs

Line card LEDs are described in the documentation specific to each line card. Refer to the installation
documentation that came with the card for to understand LED appearance and meaning.

Installing Switch Fabric Modules (SFM3s)

A minimum of 8 SFM3s are required in order for the E1200 system to operate properly. Nine SFM3s are
required for full line rate, while ten SFM3s creates full redundancy.The chassis allows up to ten SFM3s;
when all 10 are installed, any two may be removed, and the chassis still operates normally.
SFM3s (catalog # CC-E-SFM3) carry user traffic between line cards or between RPMs and a line card.
SFM3s plug directly into the backplane, which provides high-speed access to the line cards. The switch
fabric receives user data packets and redirects them to the appropriate destinations according to the
routing information.
