    Port adapters can be placed in any available port adapter slot, in any desired combination. The front of the Cisco 7200 series routers provides access to an Input/Output (I/O) controller and up to four or six network interface port adapters. The I/O controller has a local console port for connecting a data terminal (or data terminal equipment [DTE]) and an auxiliary port for connecting a modem (or other data communications equipment [DCE]) or other devices for configuring and...
  • Page 4 The port adapters installed in the Cisco 7200 series routers are of the same type as those installed on the second-generation Versatile Interface Processors (VIP2s) in the Cisco 7000 family routers. The port adapters installed in the Cisco 7200 series routers support online insertion and removal (OIR).

Figure 4 shows the rear of a Cisco 7200 series router that is configured with a single 280W AC-input power supply. (A power supply filler plate is installed over the second power supply bay.) Three internal fans draw cooling air into the chassis interior and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature (refer to Figure 4).
