The NPE-400 is a Cisco 7200 series network processing engine. The 7204VXR router takes it as a modular processor choice alongside the NPE-G1 and NPE-G2, and the 7206VXR follows the same specifications. Main memory is a single SDRAM SODIMM, and default system DRAM is 256 MB.
A 7200 VXR chassis with an NPE-400 follows the bandwidth point rules for its two PCI buses: slots 0, 1, 3 and 5 form the left bus, slots 2, 4 and 6 form the right bus, and each bus is limited to 600 bandwidth points. Low-bandwidth port adapters count as 0 points on this engine, and the I/O controller counts as a port adapter in the calculation.
PCMCIA flash memory needs an I/O controller card with the NPE-400. The I/O controller with one Gigabit Ethernet port and one Ethernet port (C7200-I/O-GE+E) works only in the 7204VXR and 7206VXR with the NPE-400 and later engines or the NSE-1. Minimum Cisco IOS releases are 12.0(14)S, 12.1(3)E, 12.1(5)T, 12.2(1)T and 12.2(1) or later.
The same chassis also takes the NPE-G1 Cisco 7200 Series network processing engine. The routers that host these engines are in Cisco routers.
