installed in either port adapter slot 0 or slot 1 on the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 motherboard.

Note You can have up to three E3 serial interfaces on a Catalyst RSM/VIP2 motherboard. Cisco

recommends a conﬁguration of one PA-E3 (with one E3 serial interface) and one PA-2E3 (with two

serial interfaces) for a total of three E3 serial interfaces.
