Description
Component
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC offers two types of shelf controller cards: the SC card and
the SC-SW card.
•
The SC-SW card is a 56-port combination card that integrates a shelf controller
and switch for the NCS 6000 Control Ethernet into one physical card. The shelf
controller (SC) portion controls the route processing and management functions
for the FCC and its components. The switch (SW) portion interconnects all the
route processors (RPs) and SCs in a multi-chassis system. The LEDs on the SC-SW
indicate active alarm conditions.
•
The SC card is a shelf-controller-only card.
For detailed information about the SC-SW and SC cards, see
Cards, on page 69
.
The FCC ships with two shelf controller cards, either two SC-SW cards or a combination
of one SC-SW card and one SC card pre-installed in the FCC. The cards are inserted
into two dedicated slots on the front of the FCC. One SC-SW or SC card installs into
slot SC0 on the upper card cage and the other SC-SW or SC card installs into slot SC1
on the lower card cage (
Figure 3: Cisco NCS 6000 FCC Slot Numbers
). Both the upper
and lower card slots are identical. The secondary card is installed for redundancy, so
that the loss or removal of a single card does not bring down the FCC. At least one
SC-SW or SC card must be operational for the FCC to function.
In a multi-chassis system with more than one FCC, we recommend that the
SC-SW cards are not installed in the same FCC.

The power enclosure is a separate unit that is installed at the top of the FCC (
). The enclosure has four slots for AC
or DC power trays, and two power control modules (PCMs). Each set of power trays
has a PCM with its own I/O power switch.
•
Each AC power tray has three slots for power modules (PMs). Each DC power
tray has four slots for PMs.
•
Mixing AC and DC power supplies in the FCC is not supported.
The AC and DC power trays are field-replaceable (after power down). The PMs are
hot-swappable.

Two redundant fan trays are inserted into the rear of the FCC (
). Each fan tray contains four axial fans. The fans pull cooling
air through the FCC from the front to the back of the FCC.
Fan trays
A removable air filter is located below the lower cable management bracket and inside
the front air intake on the front of the FCC (
