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

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.
