1 The C7200-I/O-FE-MII I/O controller has reached its end-of-life and is no longer an orderable product as of April 1998. The C7200-I/O-FE I/O controller has reached its end-of-life and is no longer an orderable product as of December 2000.
2 The Cisco uBR7200 series I/O controllers have the boot helper (boot loader) image used by a Cisco uBR7200 series router loaded on the Flash memory SIMMs. The Cisco 7200 series I/O controllers do not.
3 The product number C7200-I/O-FE does not specify MII because both an MII and an RJ-45 port are included.
4 The I/O controller with the product number C7200-I/O-FE-MII has a single MII Fast Ethernet port only.
Note
Throughout this document the different I/O controller models are referred to by their Cisco 7200 series product numbers; however, the information presented is the same for corresponding I/O controllers used in Cisco uBR7200 series routers, unless otherwise noted.
The I/O controllers consist of the following components and options:
•
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet interface options
•
Dual channels for local console and auxiliary ports
The console port has full data communications equipment (DCE) functionality, and the auxiliary port has full data terminal equipment (DTE) functionality.
•
NVRAM for storing the system configuration and environmental monitoring logs
Note
NVRAM uses lithium batteries to maintain its contents when disconnected from power. Some I/O controllers use a static RAM (SRAM) component with an external lithium battery to provide the same functionality as the NVRAM. (See Figure 1 and Figure 2.)
•
Two PC card slots that hold Flash Disks or Flash memory cards for storing the default Cisco IOS software image
•
Flash memory for storing the boot helper (boot loader) image
•
Boot ROM for storing sufficient code for booting the Cisco IOS software
•
Two environmental sensors for monitoring the cooling air as it enters and leaves the chassis

Your I/O controller with the MII and RJ-45 Fast Ethernet ports (C7200-I/O-FE or UBR7200-I/O-FE) might look like the first illustration in Figure 3 (with NVRAM), or it might look like the second illustration in Figure 4 (with SRAM replacing the NVRAM). There is no functional difference between these two I/O controllers with the Fast Ethernet port.
Figure 3 C7200-I/O-FE With MII and RJ-45 Fast Ethernet Ports (with NVRAM)
Figure 4 C7200-I/O-FE With MII and RJ-45 Fast Ethernet Ports (with SRAM)
Note
In Figure 4, the NVRAM is replaced by an SRAM component (U14) that is made to act like the NVRAM by the addition of some external components, one of which is the button-type lithium battery labeled "Battery for SRAM."
Note
The C7200-I/O-FE I/O controller has reached its end-of-life and is no longer an orderable product as of December 2000.
Your I/O controller without the Fast Ethernet port (C7200-I/O or UBR7200-I/O) might look like Figure 5 (with NVRAM), or it might look like Figure 6 (with SRAM replacing the NVRAM). There is no functional difference between these two I/O controllers without the Fast Ethernet port.

LED Descriptions
The I/O controller faceplate contains LEDs that indicate system and port status; two additional LEDs indicate the status of the Flash Disk or Flash memory cards installed in either PC Card slot. A CPU reset button is located next to the IO power OK LED or next to the auxiliary port on the I/O controller faceplate. The CPU reset button resets the entire system.
CautionTo prevent system errors and problems, use the CPU reset button only at the direction of your service representative.
Table 6 lists LEDs common to all models of I/O controllers and describes their functions.
Note
LEDs are either on or off. The LED state (on or off), not the color, determines the status of connection. However, most LEDs are green when on, with the exception of the IO POWER OK LED, which is orange when in the ON state.
Input/Output Controller C7200-I/O
Figure 8 shows the LEDs on the I/O controller model with no Ethernet ports (C7200-I/O or UBR7200-I/O). This I/O controller has no port-specific LEDs. Table 6 describes the LEDs on this I/O controller.

1 You can install an I/O controller with or without a Fast Ethernet port in a Cisco 7202; however, when you install an I/O controller with a Fast Ethernet port, the Cisco 7202 system software automatically disables the port.
2 The Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR can be used as router shelves in a Cisco AS5800 universal access server. For information about the Cisco AS5800 universal access server, refer to the Cisco AS5800 universal access server documentation listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
3 If you need to order a spare I/O controller for a Cisco uBR7200 series router, use the Cisco uBR7200 series product number followed by an equal sign (=). These I/O controllers have the Cisco uBR7200 series boot helper (boot loader) image loaded on the Flash SIMMs. (For Cisco uBR7200 series product numbers, see Table 2.)
4 Initial shipments of the Cisco uBR7246 chassis that were equipped with a Fast Ethernet I/O controller might have an I/O controller with the single MII port installed. These I/O controllers are fully compatible with the router. If you need to order a spare I/O controller, use the product numbers described in the previous footnote.
5 To support the UBR7200-I/O-FE, the Cisco uBR7200 series routers can use any previous boot image that supports a supported version of Cisco IOS software. However, we recommend using the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(15)SC [ubr7200-boot-mz.12.0-15.SC] boot image for maximum feature support.
6 The Cisco IOS Release 12.1(10)EC or later Cisco IOS Release 12.1 EC boot image must be used only on a Cisco uBR7246VXR using the UBR7200-I/O-2FE/E controller. This boot helper image must not be used for any Cisco uBR7200 series router using the UBR7200-I/O-FE controller.
Depending on the I/O controller model you have, the hardware requirements in the following sections apply.
C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O Controller
The C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller operates only in the Cisco 7204VXR and Cisco 7206VXR routers, and in the Cisco uBR7246VXR universal broadband router.
•
The C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller is not supported in conjunction with the NPE-100 or NPE-150, because these network processing engines (NPEs) require that there be a boot ROM present on the I/O controller; however, the C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller does not have a boot ROM component.
•
The C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller is not supported in conjunction with the NPE-200, because operational behavior with this NPE is unpredictable.
•
The C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller operates with the following: NPE-225, NPE-300, NPE-400, NPE-G1, NPE-G2, and NSE-1 only.
Note
The C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller operates only with this version of the NPE-225: board label 73-3453-05 rev. A0 or higher, or faceplate label 800-05418-03 rev. A0 or higher.
To check for the correct NPE-225 version in software, use the show c7200 command. Under CPU EEPROM, look for Hardware Revision 1.3 or higher.
Note
The NPE-300 has reached its end-of-life and is no longer orderable as of November 15, 2001.

The C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller operates with the NPE-G1 and NPE-G2, but an I/O controller is not necessary because the NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 contain their own onboard controller. Installing an I/O controller in a chassis with the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 activates the console and auxiliary ports on the I/O controller and automatically disables the console and auxiliary ports on board the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2. However, you can still use the Flash Disk slots and Ethernet ports on both the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 and I/O controller when both cards are installed.
•
To comply with EMI EN55022 Class B regulations, shielded Ethernet cables (p/n 72-1501-01) must be used with the UBR7200-I/O-2FE/E controller in the Cisco uBR7246VXR router.
•
The C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller is not supported in conjunction with the NPE-175. When you install a C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller in a system that is using an NPE-175, the system software automatically disables the ports on the I/O controller.
Additionally, the following error message appears in the system banner at bootup:
PA-3-NOTSUPPORTED: PA in slot0 (Dual FastEthernet/Ethernet (with GBIC/RJ45) I/O Card) is not supported on this chassis or npe cpu card
Note
The C7200-I/O-2FE/E controller requires the c7200-kboot-mz boot helper image, and the UBR7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller requires the ubr7200-kboot-mz boot helper image. Attempting to use the standard boot image results in no network boot interfaces with the following warning message displayed:
%c7200-3-IONOTSUPPORTEDBYLOADER: I/O controller (type 539) is not supported by this boot loader. The I/O controller network interfaces will be unavailable.
C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O Controller
The C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O controller operates only in the Cisco 7204VXR and Cisco 7206VXR routers
•
The C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O controller is not supported in conjunction with the NPE-100 or NPE-150, because these network processing engines (NPEs) require that there be a boot ROM present on the I/O controller; however, the C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O controller does not have a boot ROM component.
•
The C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O controller is not supported in conjunction with the NPE-200, because operational behavior with this NPE is unpredictable.
The Cisco C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O controller operates with the following NPEs and network services engine (NSE) only on the Cisco 7204VXR and Cisco 7206VXR routers: NPE-300, NPE-400, NPE-G1, and NSE-1.
Note
The C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O controller operates with the NPE-G1, but an I/O controller is not necessary because the NPE-G1 contains its own onboard controller. Installing an I/O controller in a chassis with the NPE-G1 activates the console and auxiliary ports on the I/O controller and automatically disables the console and auxiliary ports on board the NPE-G1. However, you can still use the Flash Disk slots and Ethernet ports on both the NPE-G1 and I/O controller when both cards are installed.

The C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O controller is not supported in conjunction with the NPE-175 and NPE-225. When you install a C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O controller in a system that is using an NPE-175 or an NPE-225, the system software automatically disables the ports on the I/O controller.
Additionally, the following error message appears in the system banner at bootup:
PA-3-NOTSUPPORTED: PA in slot0 (GigabitEthernet/Ethernet (with GBIC/RJ45) I/O Card) is not supported on this chassis or npe cpu card
Note
The C7200-I/O-GE+E I/O controller requires the c7200-kboot-mz boot helper image. Attempting to use the standard boot image results in no network boot interfaces with the following warning message displayed:
%c7200-3-IONOTSUPPORTEDBYLOADER: I/O controller (type 539) is not supported by this boot loader. The I/O controller network interfaces will be unavailable.
C7200-I/O-FE=, C7200-I/O-MII=, or C7200-I/O= I/O Controllers
You can install the C7200-I/O-FE, C7200-I/O-MII, or C7200-I/O in all Cisco 7200 series routers (including the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR as router shelves in a Cisco AS5800 universal access server); however, when you install an I/O controller with a Fast Ethernet port in a Cisco 7202, the system software automatically disables the port.
•
These I/O controllers also operate with the NPE-G1 on a VXR chassis, but an I/O controller is not necessary because the NPE-G1 contains its own onboard controller. Installing an I/O controller in a chassis with the NPE-G1 activates the console and auxiliary ports on the I/O controller and automatically disables the console and auxiliary ports on board the NPE-G1. However, you can still use the Flash Disk slots and Ethernet ports on both the NPE-G1 and I/O controller when both cards are installed.
•
For the Cisco 7202, the following message appears in the system banner if an I/O controller with the Fast Ethernet port is installed in the system:
%C7200-3-UNSUPPORTED: FE in slot0 is not supported on C7202 chassisIf the above message appears, the Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller is automatically disabled. If the above message does not appear, your Cisco 7202 has an installed I/O controller without the Fast Ethernet port.
•
When you use the I/O controller that is equipped with an MII port and an RJ-45 port (C7200-I/O-FE), only one port can be configured for use at a time.
•
If you order an I/O controller as a spare for a Cisco uBR7200 series router, use the Product Numbers listed in Table 2 for the Cisco uBR7200 series. These I/O controllers have the boot helper (boot loader) image used by a Cisco uBR7200 series router loaded on the Flash memory SIMMs. Cisco 7200 series I/O controller spares (C7200-I/O-FE-MII=, C7200-I/O-FE=, and C7200-I/O=) do not have the Cisco uBR7200 series boot helper image loaded on the Flash memory SIMMs.
•
The C7200-I/O-FE-MII I/O controller has reached its end-of-life and is no longer an orderable product as of April 1998. The C7200-I/O-FE I/O controller has reached its end-of-life and is no longer an orderable product as of December 2000.
•
The UBR7200-I/O-FE controller for the Cisco uBR7200 series routers supports only the 48 MB version of the Flash Disk.
Note
Certain Cisco hardware products have incorporated a hardware change that is transparent for most users. However, an anomaly has been identified when this updated Cisco hardware is used in conjunction with certain releases of Cisco IOS software. (See the "Troubleshooting Using the show interfaces fastethernet Command" section for an explanation of this anomaly and a workaround procedure.)
