The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
•Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
•Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
•Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
•Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Port Adapter Overview
The PA-2H dual-port HSSI port adapter provides two high-speed serial interfaces. (See Figure 1-1.) The interfaces on PA-2H are considered to be data terminal equipment (DTE) devices. (Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is occasionally not shown in figures in this publication to allow a full view of detail on the port adapter faceplate.)

HSSI
Rev. B
H10887
HSSI network interfaces reside on modular port adapters, which provide a direct connection between the high-speed bus in the router and the external networks. The PA-2H port adapter can be installed in the following slots on the hardware platforms described in this document:
•
•
•
VIP2—Port adapter slot 0 and port adapter slot 1
Catalyst RSM/VIP2—Port adapter slot 0 and port adapter slot 1
Cisco 7200 series routers—Port adapter slot 1 through 6 in the Cisco 7206, or slots 1 through 4 in the Cisco 7204
•Cisco uBR7200 series routers—Port adapter slot 1 or slot 2 of the Cisco uBR7246, and port adapter slot 1 for the Cisco uBR7223.
Each HSSI port is a female, 50-pin, SCSI-II-type receptacle. You must use an HSSI interface cable to connect the interface with an external data service unit (DSU). Refer to the “Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts” section on page 1-4 for descriptions of HSSI cables.
Overview 1-1
Port Adapter Overview
The HSSI port adapter conforms to BABT/TC/130 and EIA/TIA-612 and EIA/TIA-613 standards for HSSI. PA-2H provides two interfaces. Each interface provides a full-duplex synchronous serial interface for transmitting and receiving data at rates of up to 52 megabits per second (Mbps).
The HSSI, which was recently standardized as EIA/TIA 612/613, provides access to services at T3 (45 Mbps), E3 (34 Mbps), and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) STS-1 (51.82 Mbps) rates. The actual rate of the interface depends on the external DSU and the type of service to which it is connected.
The port adapter supports both 16and 32-bit cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs). The default is 16-bit CRCs; to enable 32-bit CRCs, you use a configuration command. (For a description of the CRC function, refer to “Chapter 7, “Cable Installation and Interface Configuration.”
Note While the VIP2 and Catalyst RSM/VIP2 supports online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters in the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers, and the Catalyst 5000 family switches, you must first remove the VIP2 or Catalyst RSM/VIP2 from the chassis, then replace port adapters as required. Online insertion and removal is supported for port adapters in the Cisco 7200 series and Cisco uBR7200 series routers.
The BABT605559 marking on the HSSI port adapter signifies that the port adapter meets United Kingdom directive 605559 and has been designed to BABT/TC/130 standards. The BABT label is located on the top of each HSSI port adapter (PA-2H). Figure 1-2 shows the BABT label.

Note PA-2H has been updated to Revision B (Rev. B).
The newest dual-port HSSI port adapter can be identified by Rev. B in the lower right corner of its front-panel label (see Figure 1-1). The older dual-port HSSI port adapter does not have Rev. B on its label (see Figure 1-3). (For specific information on software and hardware compatibility, refer to Chapter 2, “Preparing for Installation.”

Note You should replace older PA-2H port adapters with the newer PA-2H Rev. B port adapter. Contact Cisco’s Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for replacement details. (For information on the TAC, refer to the “Cisco Connection Online” section on page vi.)
LEDs
This section provides information on the LEDs on the faceplate of the HSSI port adapter. The HSSI port adapter has two rows of five status LEDs, one row of five for each HSSI port on the port adapter (TD, TC, RD, RC, and LB/C), and one enabled LED for the port adapter. (See Figure 1-4.)

After system initialization, the enabled LED, which is present on all interface processors, lights to indicate that the port adapter has been enabled for operation.
The following conditions must be met before the HSSI port adapter is enabled:
•The port adapter contains a valid microcode version that has successfully been downloaded.
•The port adapter is correctly connected to the backplane and receiving power in Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers, the Catalyst 5000 family switches, or to the midplane and receiving power in Cisco 7200 series and Cisco uBR7200 series routers.
•The bus recognizes the port adapter or HSSI-equipped VIP2 or Catalyst RSM/VIP2.
If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED does not go on.
The five additional status LEDs on the HSSI port adapter indicate the following:
•TD—When on, the transmit data LED indicates that the port adapter has been detected by, and is able to send packets to, the external DSU.
•TC—When on, the transmit clock LED indicates that the port adapter is transmitting a transmit clock signal to the external DSU. During normal operation, this signal is derived from the RT signal from the external DSU. During loopback, this signal is generated internally.
•RD—When on, the receive data LED indicates that the port adapter has detected, and is able to receive packets from, the external DSU.
•RC—When on, the receive clock LED indicates that the port adapter has detected a Receive Clock signal. During normal operation, this signal is received from the external DSU. During loopback, this signal is generated internally.
•LB/C—When green, this dual-color, loopback/connected LED indicates normal operation which means that the port adapter is properly connected to the external DSU and the TA (data terminal equipment [DTE] Available) and CA (data communications equipment [DCE] Available) signals are active. (See Table 1-1.) When yellow, this LED indicates that the port adapter is in loopback (LB) mode or is otherwise not physically connected to the DSU. When off, the port is neither connected or in loopback mode.

Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts
Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts
This section provides information about the HSSI cables you should use with the HSSI port adapter. Two types of cables are available for use with the HSSI port adapter: the HSSI interface cable used to connect your router to an external DSU (and HSSI network) and a null modem cable, which allows you to connect two routers back to back. Both HSSI cables are available only from Cisco systems and conform to EIA/TIA-612 and EIA/TIA-613 specifications.
HSSI Interface Cable
The HSSI cable (CAB-HSI1=) connects the HSSI port adapter with the external DSU. The HSSI cable is 10-feet (3.048 meters) long. The maximum HSSI cable length allowed is 50 feet (15.24 meters). Figure 1-5 shows the HSSI cable and the 50-pin connector used at each end of the HSSI cable. Table 1-1 lists the pinout.

HSSI Null Modem Cable
HSSI Null Modem Cable
The null modem cable (CAB-HNUL=) can connect two routers directly back to back. The null modem cable is 10-feet (3.048 meters) long. Figure 1-6 shows the null modem cable. The maximum null modem cable length allowed is 50 feet (15.24 meters). The two routers must be in the same location and can be two Cisco 7000 series routers, two Cisco 7500 series routers, two Cisco 7200 series routers, two Cisco uBR7200 series routers, or any combination of each. A null modem connection allows you to verify the operation of the HSSI or to link the routers directly in order to build a larger node.
Figure 1-6 Null Modem Cable Connectors

Note In the Cisco 7200 series routers, there are specific configuration guidelines that must be observed for high-bandwidth port adapters such as the PA-2H Rev. B. For port adapter hardware and memory configuration guidelines for the Cisco 7200 series routers (including a Cisco 7206 as a router shelf in a Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server), refer to the document, Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration Guidelines , that shipped with your Cisco 7200 series router.
Caution The VIP2 requires that the host Cisco 7000 series router has the RSP7000 and RSP7000CI installed. The VIP2 will not operate properly with the Route Processor (RP), Switch Processor (SP), or Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) installed in the host Cisco 7000 series router.
Caution If you are using the HSSI dual-port adapter in the Catalyst 5000, 5500, 5505, or 5509 switch, you must install the port adapter on the Catalyst RSM/VIP2-15 or -40 Revision 2 (board part number 73-3468-XX, where XX is the version number). Do not use the HSSI dual-port adapter in the Catalyst 5000, 5505, or 5509 switch if you are installing it on a Catalyst RSM/VIP2-15 or -40 module that is not the Revision 2. If you fail to comply with this restriction, your system will shut down due to an overload of the power supply.
Caution You can only have two HSSI dual-port adapters per chassis when installed on a
Catalyst RSM/VIP2-15 or -40 module Revision 1 and used in the Catalyst 5500 switch.
2-2 PA-2H Dual-Port HSSI Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
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).

2-4 PA-2H Dual-Port HSSI Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
•Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
•Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
•Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist and never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe. Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Telephone Wiring Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:
•
•
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
•Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules comprise printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
•When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.
•When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
•Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.
•Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.
