PA-12E/2FE Ethernet Switch 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
3-2
Figure 3-1 Cisco 7206 with a 12E/2FE Port Adapter in Port Adapter Slot 3 and Slot 4
Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter or replace a failed port
adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router. In either case no tools are necessary; all port adapters available
for the Cisco 7200 series connect directly to the router midplane and are locked into position by a
port adapter lever.
Note The dual-width 12E/2FE port adapter occupies two horizontally aligned port adapter slots and
is locked into position by the port adapter lever for each slot.
When removing and replacing a port adapter, you will need an antistatic mat onto which you can
place a removed port adapter and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port
adapter for shipment back to the factory.
Note The Cisco 7200 series routers support OIR; therefore, you do not have to power down the
routers when removing and replacing a 12E/2FE port adapter.
When a port adapter slot is not in use, blank port adapters must fill empty slots to allow the router to
conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the port adapters. If you
plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove the blank port
adapter.
Note If you are installing a dual-width port adapter in two port adapter slots that are occupied by
single-width port adapters, you must remove the single-width port adapters and the port adapter slot
divider before installing the dual-width port adapter.
The following sections explain how to remove and install single-width and dual-width port adapters
in a Cisco 7200 series router.
