FAQs

Q: What is included with the base hardware chassis?
A: The base chassis is the foundation for the system. Line cards, route processors, fabric modules, power supplies, and fan trays are typically ordered separately unless specified by a bundle.

Q: Does this chassis require Smart Licensing?
A: Yes. Smart Licensing is required for feature and capacity activation.

Q: Can I mix AC and DC power supplies?
A: The chassis supports AC or DC configurations depending on the selected power shelves and PSUs. Mixing within a shelf is generally not supported; consult the specific BOM.

Q: Which line cards are compatible?
A: High-density 100G and 400G line cards in the NCS 5500 family are supported. Verify compatibility against the current hardware and software release matrix.

Q: Is airflow front-to-back or back-to-front?
A: Airflow direction depends on the selected fan tray and power configuration. Order matching airflow components for consistent thermal design.
