Port Adapter Overview
The HP ESCON PA is a high-speed (100 bandwidth points) port adapter for Cisco 7200 series routers,
including the Cisco 7200 VXR routers, that supports IP Datagram, TCP/IP Offload, TN3270 Server, TCP
Assist, Cisco MultiPath Channel (CMPC), CMPC+, and Cisco SNA (CSNA) software applications.
The HP ESCON PA provides a single channel interface for Cisco 7200 series routers
A mainframe channel (referred to as a channel) is an intelligent processor that manages the protocol on
the communications media and controls the data transfer to and from the main central processing unit
(CPU) storage. Devices called input/output processors (IOPs) communicate between the host CPU and
the channel. One IOP controls multiple channels. There is no relationship between the number of CPUs
and the number of IOPs.
The channel relieves the mainframe CPU of direct communication with input/output (I/O) devices,
which saves processing cycles and allows data processing and communications tasks to run concurrently.
Channels use one or more channel paths as the links between mainframes and I/O devices. I/O devices
are connected directly to control units, which provide the logical capabilities required to operate and
control the I/O devices.
In some situations, this interface can eliminate the need for a separate front-end processor (FEP). The
HP ESCON PA contains one ESCON I/O connector.
The HP ESCON PA (Figure 1) provides a single channel attachment interface for connecting Cisco 7200
series routers to an ESCON director or to a mainframe channel.
Note The Cisco 7200 series routers support the OIR of all port adapter types.
Figure 1 ESCON Channel Port Adapter, Faceplate View
The HP ESCON PA has a single female duplex connector and has 128 MB of DRAM. There are no
memory options for the HP ESCON PA.

Overview
You can install the HP ESCON PA in any of the available port adapter slots in a Cisco 7200 series router.
Figure 2 shows an HP ESCON PA installed in port adapter slot 1 of a Cisco 7206.
Figure 2 Cisco 7206 with an HP ESCON PA in Port Adapter Slot 1
Note The HP ESCON PA supports online insertion and removal (OIR), which allows you to install or remove
an HP ESCON PA while the system is operating without shutting down system power.
The entire HP ESCON PA microcode image is delivered on a router Flash memory card or SanDisk
memory device, or you can download it from Cisco.com.
•When ordered as a spare, the HP ESCON PA microcode is available via Cisco.com.
•When ordered as part of a new system, the HP ESCON PA microcode is available on Flash memory
cards and SanDisk memory devices (which also include the Cisco IOS release compatible with the
microcode version) and via Cisco.com.
•When shipped with a new system, there is a default setting in Cisco IOS that points to the HP
ESCON PA microcode with which it has been virtually bundled (separately bundled and preloaded
onto the Flash memory card or SanDisk memory device along with the compatible Cisco IOS
software). The Cisco IOS software loads the HP ESCON PA microcode image onto the port adapter
when the router boots and when an HP ESCON PA is inserted into a router that has already been
booted.
We recommend that you use the version of the HP ESCON PA microcode that is virtually bundled with
your Cisco IOS software. If you choose not to, you must copy a microcode image onto the router Flash
memory card or SanDisk memory device and use the microcode router configuration command to
instruct the Cisco IOS software to use the microcode image you copied instead of the microcode image
virtually bundled with your version of the Cisco IOS software.
•For instructions on placing HP ESCON PA microcode on the router Flash memory card, see the
“Copying a New Image to the Flash Memory Card on a Cisco 7200 Series Router” section on
page 36.
•For instructions on placing HP ESCON PA microcode on the SanDisk memory device, see the
“Using SanDisk Devices” section on page 38.
•For instructions on configuring Cisco IOS to use an HP ESCON PA image from the router Flash
memory card or SanDisk memory device, refer to the “Configuring the HP ESCON PA Microcode”
section on page 34.

Overview
Figure 6 Port Adapter Slots in the Cisco 7206 Router
Identifying Interface Addresses
This section describes how to identify the interface addresses for the port adapter slots and ESCON
channel port numbers. Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on
the router.
This address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot
number/interface-port-number, as follows:
•The first number identifies the port adapter slot in which the HP ESCON PA is installed.
•The second number identifies the interface port on the HP ESCON PA, which is always numbered
as interface 0 for the HP ESCON PA.
Note Some IBM channel attach software features are configured on a virtual port. On the CIP cards installed
in a Cisco 7500-series router, there are up to two physical ports, numbered 0 and 1, and a virtual port,
numbered 2. However, on the HP ESCON PA installed in a Cisco 7200 series router, the single physical
port and the virtual port are configured using the same port number identifier, number 0.
Interface ports maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or
removed from the slot. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the first number in
the address changes to reflect the new port adapter slot number.
Note The HP ESCON PA is considered a high-speed port adapter; there are specific configuration guidelines
that must be observed. Refer to the publication Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration
Guidelines (Document Number 78-3471-xx), which shipped with your Cisco 7200 series chassis and is
also available on the Cisco Connection Documentation, Enterprise Series CD-ROM.

Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following parts and tools to install an HP ESCON PA. If you need additional equipment,
contact a service representative for ordering information.
•HP ESCON PA
•ESCON interface cables
•ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade kits,
field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
•An antistatic mat on which you can place the removed port adapter
•An antistatic container in which you can place the failed port adapter for shipment to the factory
HP ESCON PA Microcode Overview
Microcode, also known as firmware, is a set of processor-specific software instructions that enables and
manages the features and functions of a specific port adapter type. At system startup or reload, the
system loads the microcode for each port adapter type present in the system.
The entire HP ESCON PA microcode image is delivered on a router Flash memory card or SanDisk
memory device, or you can download it from Cisco.com.
New microcode is released to enable new features, improve performance, or fix known problems in
earlier versions. The Cisco 7200 series routers support downloadable software and microcode images
for most upgrades. This support lets you download new or upgraded images remotely, store the images
in router memory, and load the new images at system startup without physically accessing the router.
You can store multiple versions of an image in Flash or SanDisk memory for a specific processor type,
and use configuration commands to specify which version of the image loads at startup. All port adapters
of the same type (for example, all HP ESCON PA port adapters) use the same microcode image.
By default, the HP ESCON PA microcode is loaded from the router Flash memory card or SanDisk
memory devicefor the Cisco 7200 series routers. The default HP ESCON PA microcode version is found
by entering the show microcode command.

Note In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T or later, the filenames of all released HP ESCON PA microcode images
use the conventions xcpa28-nn (for example, xcpa28-1). Interim pre-release versions of HP ESCON PA
microcode images use the convention xcpa218-nnn (for example, xcpa218-2).
Hardware and Software Requirements
The show version command displays the current hardware configuration of the router, including the
system software version that is loaded and running. For the HP ESCON PA, the show microcode
command lists the recommended and the configured microcode version. The show controller command
shows the microcode version running on the HP ESCON PA in the router.
To view the current version of software or microcode stored on the router Flash memory card, use the
show flash slot0: or the dir slot0: EXEC commands. Refer to the “Upgrading Your HP ESCON PA
Microcode” section on page 33 for basic configuration information.
If the displays indicate that the required system software and microcode are not available in your system,

Preparing for Installation
Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
•Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
•Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
•Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist and never assume that power has
been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules
comprise printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to
protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
The following guidelines help prevent ESD damage:
•Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
•When installing a component use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental
removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are
properly seated.
•When removing a component use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
•Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
connectors.
•Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container.
If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding
container.
•Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects
components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
•Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohm.
Laser LED Safety Information
The HP ESCON PA contains laser LEDs. The expansion module is classified as a Class 1 laser product
and is certified to conform to the requirements of EN60825-1:1994 and IEC825-1:1993.

PA-4C-E 1-Port High-Performance ESCON Channel Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
OL-3743-02
Preparing for Installation
Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. The HP ESCON PA has embedded Class 3a laser
LED assemblies operating at a nominal wavelength of 850 nanometer and a maximum potential output
power of 1.25 milliwatts. The design of the HP ESCON PA incorporates engineering features including
current limiting, which ensures that there is no human access to LED radiation greater than Class 1 under
any set of operating, maintenance, or service conditions, including a single fault.
There are fewer than 0.442 milliwatts propagating in the link or in any portion of the module. Therefore,
according to IEC825-2:1993, Hazard Level 1 prevails in all parts of the system.
The LEDs are located on the front face of the module.
