Cisco 7200 VXR Routers Port Adapter Jacket Card
The Port Adapter Jacket Card is used in the I/O controller slot of a Cisco 7200 VXR router with either
an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 installed, and allows a port adapter to be installed in it. Both the NPE-G1 and
NPE-G2 incorporate I/O controller functionality, so that with either network processing engine the I/O
controller slot is available. The NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 have a third dedicated peripheral component
interconnect (PCI) bus that provides additional bandwidth to the chassis. The third PCI bus allows a port
adapter with a high bandwidth point requirement to be used with the Port Adapter Jacket Card in the I/O
controller slot.
Note
Online insertion and removal (OIR) is not supported on the Port Adapter Jacket Card. OIR is supported
on the port adapter. You must have the chassis powered off to install or remove the Port Adapter Jacket
Card.
