List of Parts and Tools

You need the following parts and tools to install a port adapter. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.

•PA-2H(=), (Revision B) dual-port HSSI port adapter and one of the following:

—VIP2-15(=), VIP2-20=, VIP2-40(=), or VIP2-50(=) motherboard

—Catalyst RSM/VIP2-15(=) or Catalyst RSM/VIP2-40(=) motherboard

—Cisco 7200 series router (including a Cisco 7206 as a router shelf in a Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server) with at least one available port adapter slot

—Cisco uBR7200 series router with at least one available port adapter slot

•HSSI cables appropriate for the port adapter’s interfaces. (HSSI cables are available only from Cisco Systems; they are not available from outside commercial cable vendors.)

Caution Although the port adapter’s HSSI connector and the HSSI cable are similar to SCSI-II format, they are not identical. The HSSI cable specification is more restrictive than that for SCSI-II. If a SCSI-II cable is used instead of an HSSI cable, proper operation cannot be guaranteed.

•Number 1 Phillips and a 3/16-inch, flat-blade screwdriver (for VIP2 and Catalyst RSM/VIP2 installation only)

•Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
