Input/Output Controller
This section describes five different models of I/O controllers. These models are distinguished from one 
another by their Ethernet interface options. 
Table 1-22 lists the I/O controllers by product number and 
describes their differences.
Note For a description of the configuration commands you need to configure the different interfaces on your 
I/O controller, refer to the Input/Output Controller Replacement Instructions document.
You can also identify your I/O controller model from a terminal by using the show diag slot 0 command. 
(See the 
“Viewing Your System Configuration” section on page 4-20.)
The I/O controllers consist of the following components and options:
  • Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet interface options
  • Dual channels for local console and auxiliary ports
The console port has full data communications equipment (DCE) functionality and the auxiliary port 
has full data terminal equipment (DTE) functionality.
  • NVRAM for storing the system configuration and environmental monitoring logs 
Note NVRAM uses lithium batteries to maintain its contents when disconnected from power. 
Some I/O controllers use a static RAM (SRAM) component with an external lithium battery 
to provide the same functionality as the NVRAM.
  • Two PC Card (PCMCIA) slots that hold Flash Disks or PC Cards for storing the default Cisco IOS 
software image

for use at 100
 Mbps full-duplex or half-duplex operation. Only 1 receptacle 
can be configured for use at a time. (See 
Figure 1-17 and Figure 1-18 .)

2. The I/O controller with the Product Number C7200-I/O-FE-MII has a single MII Fast Ethernet receptacle only. Although still 
supported by Cisco, this I/O controller with a single MII receptacle is no longer an orderable product as of May 1998.
