Preparing for Installation

Preparing for Installation

This chapter describes the general equipment, safety, and site preparation requirements for installing the PA-A3-IMA. This chapter contains the following sections:

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and parts to install a port adapter. If you need additional equipment, contact your service representative for ordering information.

Software and Hardware Requirements

This section describes the software and hardware requirements for the PA-A3-IMA port adapter.

Software Requirements

Table 2-1 lists the recommended minimum Cisco IOS software release required to use the PA-A3-IMA in supported router platforms.


Table 2-1: PA-A3-IMA Software Requirements
Platform Recommended Minimum Cisco IOS Release
Cisco 7100 series

  • Cisco 7120 series and Cisco 7140 series


Cisco IOS Release 12.0(6)XE or a later release of Cisco IOS Release 12.0 XE

Cisco 7200 series and Cisco 7200 VXR

Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)XE or a later release of Cisco IOS Release 12.0 XE

VIP2 in the Cisco 7500 series1 2 3

  • With VIP2-40(=)

  • With VIP2-50(=)


Cisco IOS Release12.0(5)XE or a later release of Cisco IOS Release 12.0 XE

1The PA-A3-IMA can be used in the VIP2 in all Cisco 7500 series routers using a Route Switch Processor (RSP).
2The specific VIP2 models recommended for the PA-A3-IMA in all Cisco 7500 series routers are the VIP2-40(=), which has 2 MB of SRAM and 32 MB of DRAM, and the VIP2-50(=), which has 4 to 8 MB of SRAM and 32 to 128 MB of SDRAM. The PA-A3-IMA is not supported by the VIP2-15(=) and VIP2-20= models.
3There are no restrictions on the number of installed PA-A3-IMA port adapters when Cisco 7500 series routers are running Cisco IOS
Release 12.0(5)XE or a later release of 12.0 XE. The PA-A3-IMA can be installed in either port adapter slot 0 or slot 1 on the VIP2.

Note When you upgrade your Cisco IOS software to the minimum required software release, we recommend that you also upgrade your boot image. The boot image for your upgraded Cisco IOS software release is available on CCO. For information on how to access CCO, see the
"Cisco Connection Online" section.

To determine which revision of the PA-A3-IMA is installed in your router, use the show diag command. A PA-A3-IMA port adapter identified with board revision A0 requires a minimum Cisco IOS software release of 12.0(5)XE. The following example shows the new board revision number (A0) for a PA-A3-IMA installed in slot 1:

router# show diag 1
 
Slot 1:
        IMA WAN DS1 port adapter, 8 ports
        Port adapter is analyzed

        EEPROM contents at hardware discovery:
        Hardware revision 1.0           Board revision A0
        Serial number     10972436      Part number    73-3614-02
        Test history      0x0           RMA number     00-00-00
        EEPROM format version 1
        EEPROM contents (hex):
          0x20: 01 BA 01 00 00 A7 6D 14 49 0E 1E 0L 00 00 00 00
          0x30: 50 00 00 00 98 11 05 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
 

To determine if your router is compatible with the PA-A3-IMA, use the show version command to display the current hardware configuration of the router, including the system software version that is currently loaded and running. You can check the version of the default ROM image either by removing the board and checking the ROM labels, or by configuring the interface or system software to boot from ROM, restarting the system, and using these same commands to check the running version.

The show version command displays the current system software version. In the following example of the show version command on a Cisco 7200 series router, the running system software is Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)XE:

Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

Telephone Wiring Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:

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:

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

FCC Class A Compliance

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.

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:


Note The PA-A3-IMA port adapter has been designed to meet these requirements. Modifications to this product that are not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the various approvals and negate your authority to operate the product.

Compliance Information

The following sections provide compliance information about the PA-A3-IMA.

ITU-T Compliance

ITU-T recommendation G.823 specifies that it is important to restrict jitter gain. Figure 4 of G.823 shows a typical jitter transfer characteristic. (Note that small jitter gain is allowed.) British Standard 6328: Section 8.1 1990 gives the allowable gain as 0.5 dB. The PA-A3-IMA's line mode clocking complies with these sections.

CTR Compliance

The PA-A3-IMA complies with European CTR standards.
