This chapter provides information on the PA-2H dual-port high-speed serial interface (HSSI) port adapter and its use on the Cisco uBR7200 series routers.

Installation Overview

Depending on your circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter in a Cisco uBR7200 series router or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, no tools are necessary; all port adapters available for the Cisco uBR7200 series routers connect directly to the router midplane and are locked into position by a port adapter retention clip (Cisco uBR7246) or lever (Cisco uBR7223). When removing and replacing a port adapter, you will need an antistatic mat onto which you can place a removed port adapter and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.

Note The Cisco uBR7200 series routers support OIR; therefore, you do not have to power down the Cisco uBR7200 series router when removing and replacing an HSSI port adapter.
