• The protect card must not protect any low-density electrical cards in Slots 4, 5, or 6 if on the A side
of the shelf (Slots 12, 13, or 14 if on the B side).
• For 1:N protection groups where N = 2: On the A side, the protect card cannot be upgraded if any
electrical cards are installed or preprovisioned in Slots 4, 5, or 6 (or Slots 12, 13, or 14 on the B side).
• For 1:N protection groups where with N = 1: On the A side, if the protect card is installed in Slot 3
and it protects a low-density card in Slot 1, the protect card cannot be upgraded if Slot 5 or 6 has an
electrical card installed or preprovisioned. For the B side, if the protect card is installed in Slot 15
and it protects a low-density card in Slot 17, the protect card cannot be upgraded if Slot 12 or 13 has
an electrical card installed or preprovisioned.
• For 1:N protection groups where N = 1: On the A side, if the protect card is installed in Slot 3 and
it protects a low-density card in Slot 2, the protect card cannot be upgraded if an electrical card is
installed or preprovisioned in Slot 4. On the B side, if the protect card is installed in Slot 15 and it
protects a low-density card in Slot 16, the protect card cannot be upgraded if an electrical card is
installed or preprovisioned in Slot 14.
The following limitations apply to upgrading a working card after you have upgraded the protect card:
• A working card in Slot 1 on the A side (Slot 17 if on the B side) cannot be upgraded if an electrical
card is installed or preprovisioned in Slot 5 or 6 (Slot 12 or 13 on the B side).
• A working card in Slot 2 on the A side (Slot 16 if on the B side) cannot be upgraded if an electrical
card is installed or preprovisioned in Slot 4 (Slot 14 on the B side).
