Getting Started

Notes on 7705 SAR-8 and 7705 SAR-F

The 7705 SAR-8 and the 7705 SAR-F run the same operating system software. The main
difference between the products is their hardware configuration. The 7705 SAR-8 has an
8-slot chassis that supports two CSMs, six adapter cards, and a Fan module. The
7705 SAR-F chassis has a fixed hardware configuration, replacing the 7705 SAR-8 physical
components (the CSM, Fan module, and adapter cards) with an all-in-one unit that provides
comparable functional blocks, as detailed in
The fixed configuration of the 7705 SAR-F means that provisioning the router at the "card
slot" and "type" levels is preset and is not user-configurable. Operators begin configurations
at the port level.
Note: Unless stated otherwise, references to the terms "Adapter card" and "CSM"
throughout the 7705 SAR OS documentation set include the equivalent functional blocks on
the 7705 SAR-F.

Notes
The control and switching functions include the console and
management interfaces, the alarm and fan functions, the
synchronization interfaces, system LEDs, and so on.
The T1/E1 ports on the 7705 SAR-F are equivalent to the
T1/E1 ports on the 16-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card, except
that the 16 T1/E1 ports on the 7705 SAR-F support multiple
synchronization sources to support two timing references.
On the 7705 SAR-8, the CLI indicates the MDA type for the
16-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card as a16-chds1. On the
7705 SAR-F, the CLI indicates the MDA type for the
7705 SAR-F ports as a16-chds1v2.
