Connecting Port Adapter Cables

Step 6
Step 7
This completes the procedure for providing a chassis ground connection.
Connecting Port Adapter Cables
The instructions for connecting the cables for each port adapter installed in the
Cisco 7200 VXR routers are contained in the respective configuration note for each port
adapter. For example, if you are connecting the cables for a 4-port, Ethernet port adapter,
refer to the configuration note 4E Ethernet 10BASE-T Port Adapter Installation and
Configuration. This configuration note accompanies every PA-4E port adapter that is
shipped from the factory as an installed item in a Cisco 7200 VXR router or as a FRU. The
document is also available on the Documentation CD-ROM and on CCO.
Instructions for securing port adapter interface cables to the cable-management brackets are
contained in the "General Tabletop or Workbench Installation" section on page 14.

Connecting I/O Controller Cables

The console and auxiliary ports for Cisco 7200 VXR routers are located on the
I/O controller (see Figure 3-12). The I/O controller also has an optional Fast Ethernet port.
This section contains connection equipment and pinout information for the console,
auxiliary, and Fast Ethernet ports on the I/O controller.

Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this
step is required to ensure a proper mechanical connection.
Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding
point at your site to ensure an adequate chassis ground.
