Slot 15

Slot 14

Slot 11

The slot numbering scheme makes the C4c CMTS compatible with C4 CMTS software. Without this numbering scheme the
software would return provisioning errors for cards used in the wrong slots.
The CAMs, RCM, SCM, power modules, and Fan Tray Module plus filter are hot-swappable and field-replaceable units.
