PA-T3 Port Adapter LEDs

Note The VIP2 and Catalyst RSM/VIP2 supports online insertion and removal (OIR), but individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters in the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers, and the Catalyst 5000 series switches, you must ﬁrst remove the VIP2 or Catalyst RSM/VIP2 from the chassis and then replace port adapters as required. OIR is supported

for port adapters in the Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and Cisco uBR7200 series routers. Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is occasionally not shown in illustrations in this publication to allow a full view of detail on the port adapter’s faceplate.

In the Cisco 7000 series, Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7500 series, and Cisco uBR7200 series routers, and the Catalyst 5000 series switches, there are no restrictions on slot locations or sequence; however, in the Cisco 7200 series routers, there are speciﬁc conﬁguration guidelines that must be observed for high-bandwidth port adapters.

For speciﬁc Cisco 7200 series routers hardware conﬁguration information and for memory conﬁguration guidelines, refer to the document Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Conﬁguration Guidelines , which shipped with your Cisco 7200 series chassis and is also available on the Cisco Connection Documentation, Enterprise Series CD-ROM.

To determine if your Cisco 7000 series, Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7500 series, Cisco 7200 series, or Cisco uBR7200 series router, or Catalyst RSM/VIP2, is compatible with the PA-T3 serial port adapter, use the show version command to display the current hardware conﬁguration of the router, including the system software version that is currently loaded and running. You can check the version of the default ROM image by removing the board and checking the ROM labels, or by conﬁguring the interface or system software to boot from ROM, restarting the system, and using the show version command to check the running version.

Use the show version command to display the current system software version. In the following example, the running system software is Release 11.1(16)CA.
