Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) installed in the host Cisco series router.
The PA-E3 is considered a high-bandwidth port adapter; therefore at a minimum, Cisco recommends
that the PA-E3 be installed on the VIP2-15 or Catalyst RSM/VIP2-15 motherboard (with 1 MB of
SRAM and 8 MB of DRAM). Installation of the PA-E3 on the VIP2-10 (with 512 KB of SRAM and
8 MB of DRAM) is not recommended.
