Field-Replaceable Units Chapter 1 Cisco 7200 VXR Product Overview Note The port adapters installed in the Cisco 7200 VXR routers support OIR. For an explanation of OIR, see the "Online Insertion and Removal" section on page 1-57. All port adapters and service adapters connect to two Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) buses on the router midplane. The PCI buses provide a path to packet I/O memory and the system (route/switch) processor. The Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller connects to a third PCI bus for packet routing and switching. The port or service adapters either provide such services as compression or encryption, or they provide network interfaces to connect the router to external networks. Note Detailed instructions for removing, replacing, and configuring the port adapter types supported on the Cisco 7200 VXR routers are contained in the configuration note for the port adapter. For example, if you plan to replace a 4-port Ethernet port adapter in your Cisco 7200 VXR router, refer to the configuration note PA-4E Ethernet 10BaseT Port Adapter Installation and Configuration. The configuration note is available on the Documentation DVD and on Cisco.com. Caution To ensure adequate airflow across the router's port adapters, a port adapter or a blank port adapter must be installed in each port adapter slot.

The NPE-G1 has I/O controller functionality, so no I/O controller is needed. The Port Adapter Jacket Card installs in the I/O controller slot, and provides for an additional port adapter slot. The Port Adapter Jacket Card works from a third PCI bus, which provides additional bandwidth and virtually unlimited bandwidth points to the single port adapter slot. For more information, see the Port Adapter Jacket Card Installation Guide. 1-48 Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide OL-5013-09
