• “Prerequisites to FP addition” (page 140)
• “FP addition task flow” (page 140)
Prerequisites to FP addition
• Ensure that you are familiar with “Choosing slots for FPs” (page 61).
• Ensure you have access to 241-5701-600 Passport 7400, 15000, 20000
Configuration Guide so that you can follow the software procedures used
by this task.
• Optical sparing requires FPs to be located side by side in the shelf
assembly.
• Route and label all required cables. See “Routing FP cables” (page 827).
FP addition task flow
This task flow shows the sequence of procedures to add an FP to a blank slot
in the switch. To link to any procedure, go to “Task flow navigation”
(page 141).
CAUTION
Risk of damage to equipment from software
An incompatible software load can damage an FP beyond
a field repair. Ensure that the software running on the
switch meets the minimum software requirement for a
replacement FP. For information on minimum software
requirements see 241-5701-615 Passport 7400, 15000,
20000 FP Configuration Reference.
CAUTION
Risk of service loss or degradation
Install FPs of the same kind side by side. Mixing FPs that
use coax cables with FPs that use fiber cables causes
entangled cables that can drop service.
