Specifying the SIP Subslot Location for a SPA
Cisco SCE8000-SIP subslots begin their numbering with "0" and have a horizontal orientation.

A SPA is a modular type of port adapter that inserts into a subslot of a compatible SIP carrier card
to provide network connectivity and increased interface port density. The Cisco SCE8000-SIP can
hold up to four SPAs.
The supported SPA is a single-height SPAs, which inserts into one SIP subslot. (See

Each 8-port Gigabit Ethernet SPA provides eight GBE ports, which interface with either subscriber
or network traffic. These interfaces can be individually configured using the Cisco command-line
interface (CLI).
8-port Gigabit Ethernet SPAs can be installed in subslots 0 and 1 only.
