Chapter 1 Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Installation Requirements
Guidelines for Installation
Figure 1-4 Cisco 7200 VXR Port Adapter Slot Numbering—With Port Adapter Jacket Card
Note The Port Adapter Jacket Card works only with an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 installed.
The Port Adapter Jacket Card installs into the I/O controller slot on the third PCI bus, mb0. The Port
Adapter Jacket Card is designated slot 0, and the port adapter installed in it is designated port adapter
slot 7 on the Cisco 7206 VXR router, and slot 5 on the Cisco 7204 VXR router.
Guidelines for Installation
Cisco 7200 series routers have a finite data-carrying capacity, referred to as bandwidth, that affects the
port adapter distribution in the chassis, as well as the number and types of port adapters you can install.
To ensure that your Cisco 7200 series router port adapter configuration is within the router operating
limits, observe the following guidelines and requirements when planning to install a port adapter,
network processing engine or network services engine, or I/O controller. Chapter 2, “Memory
Requirements,” provides information about various types of memory requirements for the hardware and
software that support port adapters.
Table 1-1 provides general guidelines for Cisco 7200 series routers.
1 Port adapter slot 5 (left bus) 5 Port adapter slot 6 (right bus)
2 Port adapter slot 3 (left bus) 6 Port adapter slot 4 (right bus)
3 Port adapter slot 1 (left bus) 7 Port adapter slot 2 (right bus)
4 Port Adapter Jacket Card slot 0 (mb0 bus),
and port adapter slot 7
