Port Adapter Slot Locations
This section discusses port adapter slot locations on the Cisco 7200 VXR routers.
Figure 1-4

Adapter Jacket Card installed in the I/O controller slot. The Cisco 7204VXR router is not shown;
however, the PA-MC-T3-EC can be installed in any available port adapter slot (1 through 5).
In the Cisco 7206VXR as a router shelf in a Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server, port adapter slot 1
is in the lower left position, and port adapter slot 6 is in the upper right position.
