Installing High-Speed Serial Interface Cables
Product Numbers: CAB-HSI1(=), CAB-HNUL(=)
This document describes how to install High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) cables for Cisco 7000 series, Cisco 7200 series (including a Cisco 7206 as a router shelf in a Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server), Cisco 7400 series Internet routers, Cisco 7500 series routers, and Cisco 4000 series routers; and Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers.
These cables connect directly to the following hardware:
•
PA-H and PA-2H port adapters—Used in the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers and the following Cisco 7000 family routers:

Product Description
Each HSSI port on the HIP, PA-H, PA-2H, or NP-1HSSI uses a female, 50-pin, SCSI-II-type connector.
Caution
Two types of cables are available for use with a HSSI ports:

Note
HSSI Interface Cable
Figure 1 shows the HSSI cable CAB-HSI1(=) (Part Number 72-0710-xx). Table 1 provides pinouts. The cable has a male DB-50 (SCSI) connector on each end.

Null Modem Cable
Figure 2 shows the HSSI null modem cable CAB-HNUL(=) (Part Number 72-0727-xx). Table 2 provides pinouts. The cable has a male DB-50 (SCSI) connector on each end. Refer to "Connecting the HSSI Cable" on page 4 for connection instructions.
Figure 2 Null Modem Cable Connectors
Connecting the HSSI Cable
Connect the HSSI cable between the router and a T3, E3, or SONET DSU as shown in Figure 3 (HIP), Figure 4 (PA-H), or Figure 5 (NP-1HSSI).

Connecting the Null Modem Cable
To connect two routers directly, back-to-back, connect the null modem cable between the HSSI ports in two separate routers. The two routers must be in the same location and can be two Cisco 4000 series routers, two Cisco 7000 series routers, two Cisco 7200 series routers, two Cisco 7500 series, two Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers, two Cisco 7400 series Internet routers, or any two routers of each router series listed. With a null modem connection, you can verify the operation of the HSSI or to link the routers directly in order to build a larger node.
Figure 6 shows cable connection for two HIP boards, and Figure 7 shows cable connection for two NP-1HSSI network processor modules.

Obtaining Technical Assistance
For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support Website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.
Cisco Technical Support Website
The Cisco Technical Support Website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support Website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool automatically provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553 2447For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
