ASR55-FSC-RF
Cisco ASR 5500 Series Fabric and Storage Card (FSC) - expansion module
Inventory quantities are subject to availability and are not guaranteed until the order is placed.
The ASR55-FSC is the Fabric and Storage Card (FSC) used in the Cisco ASR5500 series. It is a module that provides fabric and storage functionality within the ASR5500 chassis.
Key points about the ASR55-FSC:
It is identified as a Fabric & 2x200GB Storage Card.
Some ASR55-FSC cards may be reported as CARD_UNUSABLE, Unsupported/Unknown, or Offline when booted with a new ASR55-MIO due to software compatibility issues.
This issue occurs because some Management Input/Output (MIO) cards might ship with StarOS version 19.1, which does not support the ASR55-FSC modules. Support for these modules was added in StarOS version 19.4 or later.
To resolve the issue, the chassis should be booted with StarOS v19.4 or later. If the production version is already later than v19.4, simply reload the production version and reboot the chassis.
The ASR55-FSC modules are functional and the problem is related to software support rather than hardware failure.
The card is recognized in the system with Cisco Part Number 73-19076-03 A0 and UDI Product ID ASR55-FSC.
