Preparing for Installation 2-3
Safety Guidelines
PA-2H cannot be used with a PA-A1 (Asynchronous Transfer Mode [ATM]) port adapter installed
in the adjacent port adapter slot of your VIP2 or Catalyst RSM/VIP2. All other port adapters are
compatible with PA-2H when installed in the adjacent port adapter slot of your VIP2 or
Catalyst RSM/VIP2.
Note PA-2H(=) is considered a high-bandwidth port adapter; therefore, and at a minimum, we
recommend that the PA-2H port adapter be installed on the VIP2-15 motherboard (with 1 MB of
SRAM and 8 MB of DRAM) or Catalyst RSM/VIP2-15 motherboard (with 1-MB SRAM and
16-MB DRAM).
Cisco does not recommend using PA-2H on the VIP2-10 (with 512 KB of SRAM and 8 MB of
DRAM).
Note Port adapters used with the 7200 VXR routers require the correct base hardware revision in
order to function. The following error message will occur on bootup if the incorrect hardware
revision is used:
> PA-3-REVNOTSUPPORTED:PA in slot 1 (Ethernet) requires base h/w revision of (1.3)
for this chassis
Use the sh diag command to display the hardware revision. (See the “Using show Commands to
Verify the New Interface Status” section on page 7-9).
