Overview
The PA-T3 serial port adapter can be installed in any available port adapter slot in Cisco 7200 series
routers (which consist of the two-slot Cisco 7202, four-slot Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, and
six-slot Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR). Figure 5-1 shows a one-port PA-T3 serial port adapter
installed in port adapter slot 3 of a Cisco 7206.

Depending on your circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200
series router or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, no tools are necessary; all port
adapters available for the Cisco 7200 series connect directly to the router midplane and are locked
into position by a port adapter lever. When removing and replacing a port adapter, you need an
antistatic mat ontowhich you can place a removed port adapter andan antistatic container into which
you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.
