1000 40G components and Cisco ASR 1013 Router, see
The Cisco SPAs provide the physical interfaces for router connectivity ranging from copper, channelized,
POS, ATM and Ethernet. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series SIP provides the physical termination for the SPAs
and accepts up to four half-height and 2 full height Cisco SPAs.
The is a list of characteristics of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface Processors for the Cisco ASR
1006, Cisco ASR 1004, and Cisco ASR 1013 routers:
• A SIP is a carrier card that inserts into a router slot like a line card. It provides no network connectivity
on its own.
• A SIP contains one or more subslots, which are used to house one or more SPAs. The SPA provides
interface ports for network connectivity.
• During normal operation, the SIP should reside in the router fully populated either with functional SPAs
in all subslots, or with a blank filler plate (SPA-BLANK=) inserted in all empty subslots.
• SIPs support online insertion and removal (OIR) with SPAs inserted in their subslots. SPAs also support
OIR and can be inserted or removed independently from the SIP.
Fully populate all slots and subslots with blank filler plates or functional SPAs for maximum efficiency
