PA-H HSSI Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

1-2

The BABT605559 marking on the PA-H HSSI port adapter signiﬁes that the port adapter meets

United Kingdom directive 605559 and has been designed to BABT/TC/130 standards. The BABT

label is located on the top of each PA-H HSSI port adapter.

Figure 1-2 shows the BABT label for the PA-H HSSI port adapter.

Note The PA-H has been revised to Revision B.

This newest single-port PA-H can be identiﬁed by Rev. B in the lower right corner of its front-panel

label. (See Figure 1-1.) The older PA-H does not have Rev. B on its label. (See Figure 1-3.) (We

recommend that you use the PA-H Rev. B port adapter shown in Figure 1-1.)

The PA-H can be installed in the following slots on the hardware platforms described in this

document:

• VIP2—Port adapter slot 0 and port adapter slot 1

• Catalyst RSM/VIP2—Port adapter slot 0 and port adapter slot 1

• Cisco 7200 series routers—Port adapter slot 1 and slot 2 of the Cisco 7202; port adapter slot 1

through slot 4 of the Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR; port adapter slot 1 through slot 6 of the

Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR

• Cisco uBR7200 series routers—Port adapter slot 1 or slot 2 of the Cisco uBR7246 and port

adapter slot 1 of the Cisco uBR7223

• Cisco 7100 series routers—Port adapter slot 3 of the Cisco 7120 series and port adapter slot 4 of

the Cisco 7140 series

Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is occasionally not shown to allow a full view

of the port adapter’s faceplate.

Note Although the VIP2 and Catalyst RSM/VIP2 support online insertion and removal (OIR),

individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must ﬁrst remove the VIP2 or

Catalyst RSM/VIP2 from the chassis, and then replace port adapters as required.

The Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and the Cisco uBR7246 routers support the OIR of all port

adapter types.
