A CPU reset button is located on the NPEs’ faceplate. The CPU reset button resets the entire system.

Caution To prevent system errors and problems, use the CPU reset button only at the direction of your service representative.

NPE Comparisons

The network processing engines used in the Cisco uBR7225VXR router are the Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 and Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G2.

Note The Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 should use the boothelper image ubr7200-kboot-mz.122-33.SCA.bin available from Cisco IOS Release 12.3(33)SCA and later. The Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G2 should use the boothelper image ubr7200p-boot-mz.122-33.SCA1.bin available from Cisco IOS Release 12.3(33)SCB and later.

NPE components:

•Reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessor:

–Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 with a 700-MHz Broadcom BCM1250 processor

–Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G2 with a 1.67-GHz Motorola Freescale MPC7448 processor

•System controller:

–Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 and Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G2 do not require an I/O controller.

•Upgradable memory modules:

–Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1—SDRAM: 256 MB (default), 512 MB, and 1 GB. There are two DRAM memory slots, so 256 MB of memory consists of two 128-MB memory SODIMMs, 512 MB consists of two 256-MB memory SODIMMs, and 1 GB consists of two 512-MB memory SODIMMs. It is necessary to have the same size SODIMM in each memory bank on an NPE-G1. The type of DRAM memory being used on the NPE-G1 is double data-rate (DDR) memory. DDR memory provides high-performance memory access rates.
