Port Adapter Removal and Installation

Removing and Installing a VIP Carrier Card in the Cisco 7500 Series Router

Remove a module as follows:

1.Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws (shown in A and D).

2.Simultaneously pull the ejector levers out to release the module from the backplane connector (shown in B). The levers should snap into their spring retainers.

3.Grasp the module handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide the module as you pull it out of the slot. Avoid touching the card.

4.Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately install it in another slot.

5.Install a new module or a filler (MAS7K- BLANK) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the chassis.

Install a module as follows:

1.Choose a slot for the new module and ensure that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to its ports.

2.Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws (shown in A) and remove the filler (or the existing module) from the slot to be filled.

3.Hold the module handle with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier to support the module and guide it into the slot. Avoid touching the card.

4.Place the back of the module in the slot and align the guide on the carrier with the groove in the slot (shown in A).

5.Carefully slide the module into the slot until the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers (shown in C).

6.Use the thumb and forefinger of each hand to push the ejector lever flat against the module (shown in B).

7.Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws.

PA-2FE-FX, PA-2FE-TX specifications

Cisco Systems PA-2FE-TX and PA-2FE-FX are high-performance Ethernet interface modules designed to enhance the capabilities of Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers. They provide businesses with flexible and reliable networking solutions that meet the increasing demand for bandwidth and connectivity.

One of the main features of the PA-2FE-TX module is its ability to support two 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet interfaces. This allows organizations to connect multiple devices while improving network performance. The PA-2FE-FX module, on the other hand, is designed for optical fiber connections. It features two Fast Ethernet interfaces that utilize an SC connector for easier cable management in fiber optic environments. This capability facilitates long-distance data transmission, making it suitable for backbone connections or inter-building links.

Both modules incorporate advanced technologies to ensure efficient data handling. They support Cisco's Auto-Negotiation feature, enabling devices to automatically select the optimal speed and duplex settings, thus simplifying deployment and reducing configuration errors. This functionality is vital in environments with varied device capabilities, allowing seamless communication across the network.

The PA-2FE-TX and PA-2FE-FX modules utilize Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities to prioritize traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth. This is particularly beneficial for VoIP services, video conferencing, and other latency-sensitive applications. Additionally, the modules offer support for VLANs, allowing organizations to segment their networks effectively and enhance security by isolating sensitive data traffic.

Another important characteristic of these modules is their hot-swappable nature, enabling users to replace them without powering down the router, thus minimizing downtime. This feature is critical for businesses that require high availability and reliability from their networking equipment.

In summary, the Cisco Systems PA-2FE-TX and PA-2FE-FX interface modules stand out for their versatility, enabling businesses to implement customized networking solutions tailored to specific needs. With support for both copper and fiber connections, advanced QoS features, and seamless integration into existing Cisco routers, these modules reinforce Cisco’s commitment to providing innovative, robust network solutions that cater to the demands of modern enterprise environments.
