Cisco 7500 Series Routers—Removing and Installing a Port Adapter

Note: You must first remove the VIP from the chassis before removing a port adapter from the VIP.

Step 1

 

To remove the port adapter, remove

 

the screw that secures the port

 

adapter (or blank port adapter).

Step 2

 

With the screw removed, grasp the

Screw

 

handle on the front of the port adapter

 

(or blank port adapter) and carefully pull

 

it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of the slot. (See A.)

Step 3

To insert the port adapter, carefully align the port adapter carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port adapter slot. (See B.)

Carefully slide the new port adapter into the port adapter slot until the connector on the port adapter is completely seated in the connector at the rear of the port adapter slot. (See B.)

Step 5

Install the screw in the rear of the port adapter slot on the VIP. Do not overtighten the screw. (See A.)

Step 6

 

Carefully slide the VIP motherboard into

 

the interface processor slot until the

 

connectors at the rear of the VIP are

 

completely seated in the connectors at

 

the rear of the interface processor slot.

 

Use the ejector levers to seat the VIP in

 

the interface processor slot. Tighten the

 

captive installation screws on the VIP.

PA-POS-1OC3, PA-POS-2OC3 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been at the forefront of networking technology, providing solutions that empower organizations to enhance their connectivity and communication capabilities. Among its impressive lineup, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules stand out as significant components designed to optimize performance in service provider and enterprise environments.

The PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules are designed for use with the Cisco 7600 Series routers and are tailored for Packet Over SONET (POS) transport. Supporting the OC-3 speed of 155.52 Mbps, these modules provide reliable high-speed connectivity, enabling organizations to efficiently manage data traffic and ensure rapid data transfer across their networks. The PA-POS-2OC3 offers dual OC-3 capabilities, allowing for higher aggregate bandwidth and redundancy options, making it common in demanding network environments.

One of the main features of the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 is their enhanced support for advanced networking protocols, including MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). MPLS facilitates efficient data routing and improves bandwidth utilization by enabling multiple types of traffic to be consolidated over a single network. This is crucial for organizations looking to deploy services like VoIP, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

The modules also offer robust error correction and monitoring capabilities, which are essential for maintaining service quality in mission-critical applications. Administrators can monitor performance and diagnose issues in real-time, enabling swift responses to potential concerns that could disrupt service.

Moreover, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 are designed with features that support enterprise-grade security and scalability. This is particularly beneficial for organizations expecting growth or requiring enhanced protection for sensitive data as it traverses the network.

In summary, Cisco's PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules represent essential building blocks for high-speed networking solutions. Their support for OC-3 connectivity, advanced routing protocols, and robust monitoring capabilities make them ideal for both service providers and enterprises. Through increased scalability, improved bandwidth management, and enhanced security, these modules allow organizations to adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of data communications effectively. With Cisco at the helm, businesses can trust in a networking solution that not only meets current demands but is also primed for future growth.
