Chapter 1 Overview: Cisco 12000 Series Router SPA Interface Processors
Router Hardware Installation
Router Hardware Installation
For Cisco 12000 series router hardware installation and configuration information, refer to the
installation and configuration guide for your router. The guide includes information on the router switch
fabric and how it affects the operation of SIPs, as well as SIP slot locations, slot width, and other
requirements.
Note
References to line cards in the router hardware installation and configuration guides apply equally to
SIPs.
Supported Platforms
SIPs are supported on all Cisco 12000 series routers. The 2.5G ISE SIP is supported on the Cisco 12016,
124xx, and 128xx routers. The Cisco 12000 SIP-401, the Cisco 12000 SIP-501, the Cisco 12000
SIP-600, and the Cisco 12000 SIP-601are supported on the Cisco 124xx and 128xx routers.
Note
To support the requirements of this line card, the Cisco 12000 series router must have at least one clock
and scheduler card (CSC) installed. For additional information, refer to the installation and configuration
guide for your Cisco 12000 series router.
Power Management
Different types of power supplies are used in Cisco 12000 series routers. The chassis power supply
configuration may cause limitations on the number of SPAs that can be installed in the chassis. If the
number of SPAs installed in the chassis draw more power than the power supply configuration supports,
the console displays a warning indicating that the configured power supply budget has been exceeded.
Power management is described in the Cisco 12000 series router chassis installation guides. Please refer
to the chassis installation guide for your router for information about power management.
