Notes:
1. These numbers represent the minimum number of components for hardware redundancy. Additional components are
required if Session Recovery is to be supported.
2. These numbers represent the minimum number of components for: a) hardware and software redundancy; b)
platforms with combined services. Additional components are required if Session Recovery is to be supported.
3. This is the minimum configuration for redundant SGSN service and MME service.
4. This number varies based on network deployment requirements.
*The maximum number of half-height line cards you can install is 28. However, redundant configurations may use
fewer than the physical maximum number of line cards since they are inactive behind standby packet service cards.
**The 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (XGLX) is a full-height line card that takes up the upper and lower slots in the
back of the chassis. When referring to an installed XGLC, use the upper slot number only. Slot numbering for other
installed half-height cards is maintained: 17 to 32 and 33 to 48, regardless of the number of installed XGLCs.
