Installing and Removing PCI Cards
IPS-4260 has 6 expansion card slots, three full-height and three half-height slots. You can install the
optional network interface cards in the two top full-height slots, slots 2 and 3. IPS-4260 supports up to
two network interface cards. For an illustration of the expansion card slots, see
Figure 6-5 on page 6-7
.
For an illustration of the supported PCI cards, see
Supported PCI Cards, page 6-2
.
Note
We recommend that you install the 4GE bypass interface card in slot 2 if you are installing only one 4GE
bypass card. This improves accessibility to the RJ45 cable connectors.
