VIP4 Port Adapter Overview

The VIP4, a single motherboard, supports up to two single-width port adapters, or one dual-width port adapter. Figure 1 shows a VIP4 with two installed single-width port adapters. A dual-width port adapter occupies both port adapter slots (not shown).

Note To ensure proper airflow in the router and compliance with EMI prevention standards, a VIP4 with one single-width port adapter must have a blank port adapter installed in the empty port adapter slot location.

Note A VIP4 without at least one installed port adapter is not supported.
