Cisco  7200 Series and the ATM CES Port Adapter

Cisco  7200 Series and the ATM CES Port Adapter

This chapter provides information on the ATM CES port adapter and its use on the Cisco  7200 series router. This chapter contains the following sections:

Installation Overview

The ATM CES port adapter, which is dual-wide, can be installed in any available, horizontally aligned pair of port adapter slots in a Cisco 7200 series router. Figure 3-1 shows an ATM CES port adapter installed in port adapter slot  3 and slot 4 of a Cisco 7206 router.


Note Only one ATM CES port adapter can be installed in a Cisco 7200 series router. No other configuration is supported.

Figure 3-1: Cisco 7206 Router with an ATM CES Port Adapter in Port Adapter Slot  4


You might need to install a new port adapter in a Cisco  7200 series router or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, no tools are necessary; any port adapter available for the Cisco  7200 series routers connects directly to the router midplane and is locked into position by a port adapter lever. See "Preparing for Installation," for a list of tools required for removing and replacing a port adapter.


Note The Cisco  7200 series routers support online insertion and removal (OIR); therefore, you do not have to power down the Cisco  7200 series router when you are removing and replacing an ATM CES port adapter.

When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot. This allows the router to conform to EMI emissions requirements and helps provide proper airflow across the port adapters. If you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove a blank port adapter.

Removing a Single-Width Port Adapter

The ATM CES port adapter is a dual-wide port adapter and requires two adjacent port adapter slots in a Cisco 7200 series router.

Following is the procedure for removing a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to yourself and to an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Move the port adapter lever for the desired port adapter slot to the unlocked position. (See Figure 3-2.)


Note If you plan to remove only one port adapter, unlock only its port adapter lever. If you plan to remove two adjacent port adapters, in preparation for installing a dual-wide port adapter, unlock both port adapter levers as shown in Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-2: Placing the Port Adapter Lever in the Unlocked Position (Cisco 7206 Shown)


Step 3 Grasp the two handles on the port adapter and pull the port adapter from the midplane, about halfway out of its slot. If you are removing a blank port adapter, pull the blank port adapter out of the chassis slot.


Note As you disengage the port adapter from the router midplane, the OIR feature administratively shuts down all active interfaces on the port adapter.

Step 4 With the port adapter halfway out of the slot, disconnect all cables from the port adapter.

Step 5 After disconnecting the cables, pull the port adapter from its chassis slot.

Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handles; never touch the port adapter's components or connector pins. (See Figure 3-3.)

Handling a Port Adapter


Step 6 Place the port adapter on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward, or in a static shielding bag. If you are returning the port adapter to Cisco, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.


Note If you plan to remove two adjacent port adapters in preparation for installing a dual-wide port adapter, repeat Steps 2 through 6; otherwise, this completes the procedure for removing port adapters from a Cisco  7200 series router.

If you plan to replace two single-width port adapters with a new dual-wide ATM CES port adapter, you need to first remove the port adapter slot divider before you can install the ATM CES port adapter; therefore, proceed to the
"Removing a Port Adapter Slot Divider" section.

Removing a Port Adapter Slot Divider


Note If you are replacing an ATM CES port adapter, this slot divider is already removed and you can proceed to the "Installing a Dual-Width Port Adapter" section.

Following is the procedure for removing a port adapter slot divider from a Cisco 7200 series router:

Step 1 Remove the port adapters from the slots on both sides of the port adapter slot divider. Refer to the previous "Removing a Single-Width Port Adapter" section when removing a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router.

Step 2 With one hand, raise the slot divider lever to unlock the slot divider from the chassis. (See  Figure 3-4.)


Figure 3-4: Lifting the Slot Divider Lever (Cisco 7206 Shown)


Step 3 With the slot divider lever still raised, use your other hand to pull the slot divider from the chassis. (See Figure 3-5.)


Figure 3-5: Pulling the Slot Divider from the Chassis (Cisco 7206 Shown)


Step 4 Store the slot divider for use at a later date.

This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter slot divider from a Cisco  7200 series router. Proceed to the "Installing a Dual-Width Port Adapter" section.

Installing a Port Adapter Slot Divider

Following is the procedure for installing a port adapter slot divider in a Cisco  7200 series router.


Note You might need to replace the port adapter slot divider at some future time; if so, use the following procedure.

Step 1 Position the slot divider so that the slot divider lever faces you and is at the bottom.

Step 2 Align the left and right edges of the slot divider between the guides in the port adapter slot. (See Figure 3-6.)


Figure 3-6: Aligning the Slot Divider Between the Slot Guides (Cisco 7206 Shown)


Step 3 With the left and right edges of the slot divider aligned in the slot guides, slide the slot divider all the way into the slot until you feel the slot divider lock into place (listen for a click).

This completes the procedure for installing a port adapter slot divider in a Cisco  7200 series router.

Installing a Dual-Width Port Adapter

Following is the procedure for installing a new dual-wide port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to yourself and to an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges with the adapter components facing downward. (See Figure 3-3.)

Step 3 Align the left and right edges of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the port adapter slot. (See Figure 3-7.)


Figure 3-7: Aligning the Port Adapter Metal Carrier Between the Slot Guides
(Cisco 7206 Shown)


Step 4 With the metal carrier edges aligned in the slot guides, gently slide the port adapter halfway into the slot.

Caution Do not slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all cables. Doing so disrupts normal operation of the router.

Step 5 With the port adapter halfway into the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.

Step 6 After connecting all required port adapter cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you feel the port adapter's connectors mate with the midplane.

Step 7 After feeling the connectors mate, move the port adapter lever to the locked position. Figure 3-8 shows the port adapter lever in the locked position.


Note If the port adapter lever does not move to the locked position, the port adapter is not properly seated in the midplane. Carefully pull the port adapter halfway out of the slot, reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever to the locked position.

This completes the procedure for installing a new port adapter in a Cisco  7200 series router. Proceed to the following section,"Setting ATM CES Port Adapter Jumpers."

Setting ATM CES Port Adapter Jumpers

Depending on the circumstances, you might need to change the configuration of the ATM CES port adapter's receive interface from ungrounded to grounded. (The ATM CES port adapter is configured in manufacturing for ungrounded at the receive interface.) The following steps explain how to set the configuration for grounded or ungrounded:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to yourself and to an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Remove the ATM CES port adapter from the chassis. To do so, follow the steps in the "Removing a Single-Width Port Adapter" section.

Step 3 With the ATM CES port adapter on an antistatic mat, use a number 1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the three screws that secure the plastic shield to the ATM CES port adapter's printed circuit board. (See Figure 3-9.) Save the screws.


Figure 3-9: Removing the Plastic Shield


Step 4 Set the jumper on the ATM CES port adapter to grounded (covered pins) or ungrounded (uncovered pins). This jumper is at location E1 on the port adapter's circuit board. See Figure 3-10.


Note The ATM CES port adapter is configured in manufacturing for ungrounded (uncovered pins) at the receive interface.

Step 5 Replace the plastic shield over the ATM CES port adapter's jumper and secure the shield to the port adapter's printed circuit board using a number 1 Phillips screwdriver and the three screws that you saved.

Step 6 Replace the ATM CES port adapter in the chassis. To do so, follow the instructions in the "Installing a Dual-Width Port Adapter" section.

This completes the procedure for setting the ATM CES port adapter jumper(s). Proceed to
"Configuring the ATM CES Interface," for information on configuring and customizing the ATM CES port adapter.
