• Port Adapter Overview, page 1-1

• LEDs, page 1-3

• Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts, page 1-4

Port Adapter Overview

The PA-2Hdual-port HSSI port adapter provides two high-speed serial interfaces. (See Figure 1-1.) The interfacesonPA-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.)

Figure 1-1 PA-2H Port Adapter (Faceplate View)

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 16- and 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. Toreplace 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 removalis 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.

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).

This section provides information on the LEDs on the faceplate of the HSSI port adapter. The HSSI port adapter has two rows of ﬁvestatus 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.)

ENABLED

H7446

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.

Overview 1-3

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

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

The null modem cable uses the same 50-pinconnectors as the HSSI cable, but uses the pinouts listed in Table 1-2. For connection and conﬁguration instructions, refer to Chapter 7, “Cable Installation and Interface Conﬁguration,” for information about attaching null modem cables.

Cisco Systems; they are not available from outside commercial cable vendors.)

Caution Although the port adapter’s HSSI connector and the HSSI cable are similar to SCSI-II

format, they are not identical. The HSSI cable speciﬁcation is more restrictive than that for SCSI-II. If a SCSI-II cable is used instead of an HSSI cable, proper operation cannot be guaranteed.

• Number 1 Phillips and a 3/16-inch, ﬂat-blade screwdriver (for VIP2 and Catalyst RSM/VIP2

installation only)

• Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all

upgrade kits, ﬁeld-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares

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 hardwareand 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 thatthehostCisco 7000 series router hastheRSP7000and 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 -40Revision2 (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.

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).

PA-2H Dual-Port HSSI Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

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 existand 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.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines

• 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 improperlyhandled,results in complete or intermittent failures.Portadapters 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.
