This chapter describes how to install and remove components, and includes the following sections:
 |
Note All components that you ordered with your system are installed in the chassis when it ships to you. Refer to the Catalyst 8510 Campus Switch Router Chassis Installation Guide for initial installation information. |
You need the following parts and tools:
Install the route processor in slot 2 of the Catalyst 8510 CSR chassis or slot 13 of the Catalyst 5500 chassis.
The Catalyst 8510 CSR chassis has five slots. Slot 2 is reserved for the
route processor, as shown in Figure 3-1. The other four slots are used for
interface modules.
The Catalyst 5500 chassis has 13 slots. Slot 13 is reserved for the route processor. Slots 9 through 12 are used for interface modules. Refer to the Catalyst 5500 switch hardware documentation for more information.
Follow these steps to install the route processor:
 |
Caution In the Catalyst 8510 CSR chassis, installing or removing a route processor while the device is operating causes the system to shut down and might damage the processor. Turn off the device before installing or removing the route processor. |
|
Note The route processor installed as an option in the Catalyst 5500 chassis is hot-swappable. |
Step 2 Hold the route processor faceplate with one hand, and place your other hand under the processor. Avoid touching the components on top of the processor. (See Figure 3-2.)
|
Caution Handle the route processor only by the edges to prevent ESD damage. |
Step 3 Align the route processor with the rails on the inside of the chassis.
Step 4 Slide the route processor into slot 2 (or slot 13 of the Catalyst 5500 chassis) until the route processor stops and the ejector levers are protruding outward.
Step 5 Put your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously push inward on the levers to seat the route processor in the backplane connector.
|
Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing the route processor. A processor partially seated in the backplane can cause the system to halt and subsequently crash. |
Step 6 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the left and right sides of the route processor.
Step 7 Attach network interface cables or other devices to the interface ports.
Step 8 Turn on the device.
Follow these steps to remove the route processor:
Step 2 Turn off the device, but to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not disconnect the power cable.
|
Caution The route processor is a required system component. Installing or removing a route processor while the device is operating causes the system to shut down and can damage the processor. Turn off the device before installing or removing the route processor. |
|
Note The route processor installed as an option in the Catalyst 5500 switch is hot-swappable. |
Step 3 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and an unpainted chassis surface.
Step 4 Disconnect all cables from the route processor.
Step 5 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the route processor. (See Figure 3-3.)
Step 6 Grasp the left and right ejector levers between your thumbs and index fingers and simultaneously pull outward on the levers to release the route processor from the backplane connector. (See Figure 3-3.)
Step 7 Grasp the route processor faceplate with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide the processor out of the slot. Avoid touching the card.
Step 8 Pull the route processor straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the processor to guide it. Keep the processor at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane.
Step 9 Place the removed route processor on an antistatic mat.
The size of the system image and the cumulative size of any additional files stored in Flash memory determine the amount of Flash memory required on the
route processor. If you are storing multiple system images, you might need to upgrade the Flash memory SIMM.
When purchasing a new Flash memory SIMM, make sure it meets the following specifications:
|
Note You must use a SIMM card obtained from an approved vendor; otherwise, Cisco cannot ensure proper operation. Refer to the specific part or product numbers indicated in the approved vendor list on Cisco Connection Online (CCO), or contact your Cisco sales representative for more information. |
You need the following parts and tools:
Follow these steps to install a new Flash memory SIMM:
Step 2 Remove the new Flash memory SIMM from its antistatic bag.
Step 3 Hold the SIMM component side up with the connector edge (the edge with metal fingers) facing downward, as shown in Figure 3-4.
|
Caution Handle SIMMs by the card edges only. SIMMs are sensitive components that can be shorted by mishandling. |
Step 4 Make sure the polarization notch is at the right side, as shown in Figure 3-5, and insert the new Flash memory SIMM by sliding the end with the metal fingers into the SIMM socket at a slight angle.
|
Caution When inserting the Flash memory SIMM, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage the SIMM socket, you must return the route processor to the factory for repair. |
Step 5 Gently rotate the SIMM down into place until the spring clips on both sides snap into place. (See Figure 3-6.)
Step 6 Reinstall the route processor in the chassis. (For more information, see the "Connecting the Route Processor to a Network" section.)
Step 7 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the route processor.
Step 8 Turn on the system.
If the device fails to boot properly, or if the console terminal displays a checksum or memory error, make sure that:
If after several attempts the device fails to restart properly, contact a customer service representative for assistance. Before you call, make note of any error messages, unusual LED states, or any other indications that might help solve the problem.
Follow these steps to remove the Flash memory SIMM:
Step 2 Turn off the switch, but to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not disconnect the power cable.
|
Caution The route processor is a required system component. Installing or removing a route processor while the device is operating causes the system to shut down and can damage the processor. Turn off the device before installing or removing or the route processor. |
|
Note The route processor installed as an option in the Catalyst 5500 switch is hot-swappable. |
Step 3 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and an unpainted chassis surface.
Step 4 Disconnect all cables from the route processor.
Step 5 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the route processor, then slide it out of the chassis. (For more information, see the "Removing the Route Processor" section.)
Step 6 Place the route processor on an antistatic mat or bag.
Step 7 Position the route processor so that the edge connector is away from you and the faceplate is toward you, as shown in Figure 3-7.
Step 8 Locate the Flash memory SIMM at the front right corner of the route processor. (See Figure 3-7.)
Step 9 Place your index fingers on the sides of the SIMM socket and your thumbs on the spring clips, as shown in Figure 3-8.
Step 10 Press outward on the spring clips with your thumbs to release the Flash memory SIMM from the SIMM socket. (See Figure 3-8.)
Step 11 Tilt the Flash memory SIMM upward and remove it from the SIMM socket.
Step 12 Place the Flash memory SIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
The route processor includes two Flash PC Card slots---slot 0 and slot 1---that accept 8-MB, 16-MB, or 20-MB Series 2+ Flash PC Cards purchased from Cisco. You can use the Flash PC Card to store the system image or to store software and microcode images for other systems.
|
Note If you ordered the Flash PC Card as a spare part, it is unformatted; you must format the card before you can use it. For formatting instructions, refer to the Layer 3 Switching Software Feature and Configuration Guide. |
Follow these steps to install a Flash PC Card:
Step 2 Insert the card into the appropriate slot until the card is completely seated in the connector at the back of the slot and the eject button pops out toward you (see Figure 3-9b). Note that the card does not insert all the way inside the route processor; a portion of the card remains outside of the slot.
|
Caution Do not attempt to force the card past this point. |
|
Note The Flash PC Card is keyed and cannot be seated the wrong way. The Eject button does not pop out until the card is inserted properly. |
Follow these steps to remove a Flash PC Card:
Step 2 Remove the card from the slot and place it in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
|
Caution Although interface modules support hot swapping, the route processor does not. The route processor is a required system component, and removing it while the device is operating causes the system to shut down and can damage the processor. |
When you remove and replace interface modules, the system provides status messages on the console screen. The messages are for information only. In the following sample display, you can follow the events logged by the system when an interface module is removed from slot 3. When the interface module is reinserted, the system marks the module as ready again.
Router# %OIR-6-REMCARD: Card removed from slot 3/0, interfaces disabled %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface 3/0, changed state to administratively down %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface 3/0, changed state to administratively down Router# %OIR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 3/0, interfaces administratively shut down %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface 3/0, changed state to up %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface 3/0, changed state to up Router#
The ejector levers and captive installation screws (See Figure 3-10) align and seat the module connectors in the backplane.
Follow the removal and installation instructions carefully, paying special attention to the following practices:
To ensure that the module connector pins disconnect from the backplane in the sequence expected by the system, use the ejector levers and captive installation screws to remove an interface module. Any interface module that is only partially connected to the backplane will halt the system. Detailed steps for correctly performing hot swapping are included in the following procedures for installing and removing interface modules.
You need the following parts and tools:
You can install interface modules in any of the four interface module slots numbered 0, 1, 3, and 4. (See Figure 3-1.) The middle slot (number 2) is reserved for the route processor, which is a required system component. Install blank interface module fillers in empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the module compartment.
 |
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. |
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle the interface module by the edges only. |
Follow these steps to install an interface module:
Step 2 Use a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws and remove the interface module filler (or the existing interface module) from the slot you want to use.
Step 3 Hold the interface module faceplate with one hand, and place your other hand under the module and guide it into the slot. Avoid touching the module components. (See Figure 3-11.)
Step 4 Place the back of the interface module in the slot and align the notch on each side of the module with the groove in the slot.
Step 5 Keep the interface module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane and carefully slide it into the slot until the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers.
Step 6 Use the thumb and forefinger of each hand to simultaneously push the left lever and the right lever in until the interface module is fully seated in the backplane connector.
|
Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing the interface module. Leaving a interface module only partially seated in the backplane causes the system to halt and subsequently crash. |
Step 7 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the left and right ends of the interface module.
Step 8 Attach network interface cables or other devices to the interface ports.
Step 9 Check the status of the interfaces as follows:
Follow these steps to remove an interface module:
|
Caution Failure to disconnect cables could damage the interface module. |
Step 2 Loosen the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the interface module with a screwdriver.
|
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. |
Step 3 Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously push the left lever to the left and the right lever to the right to release the interface module from the backplane connector.
|
Note An interface module is a hot-swappable device. It can be removed or installed in a running chassis. The Catalyst 8510 CSR automatically recognizes the interface module and its interfaces. |
Step 4 Grasp the interface module faceplate with one hand and place your other hand under the module to support and guide the module out of the slot. Avoid touching the module components.
Step 5 Pull the interface module straight out of the slot carefully, keeping your other hand under the module to guide it. Keep the module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane.
Step 6 Place the removed interface module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately install it in another slot.
|
Caution Always install interface module filler plates in empty slots to maintain the proper flow of cooling air across the modules. |
|
Note Wait at least one minute after removing an interface module before inserting a new one. |
|
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. |
A GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into the module, linking the module with the fiber-optic network. (see Figure 3-12.) The following GBIC media types are supported:
|
Note Due to interoperability issues, Cisco does not support GBICs purchased from third-party vendors. |
Follow these guidelines to ensure the performance of your GBIC:
|
Note Unnecessary removal and insertion of a GBIC could lead to premature failure. A GBIC has a lifetime of 100 to 500 removals or insertions. |
Follow these steps to install a GBIC:
|
Caution When removing or inserting a GBIC, always wear an ESD wrist strap connected to the ESD wrist strap connector. |
Step 2 Verify that the GBIC is the correct type for your network by checking the part number. The number indicates whether it is 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX/LH, 1000BaseZX, or other.
Step 3 Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger and insert the GBIC into the slot on the front of the module (see Figure 3-14).
|
Note GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect slot insertion. |
Step 4 Slide the GBIC into the slot until you hear a click. The click indicates the GBIC module is locked into the slot.
Step 5 When you are ready to attach the fiber-optic cable, remove the plug from the GBIC and save it for future use.
Follow these steps to remove a GBIC:
Step 2 Release the GBIC from the slot by simultaneously squeezing the plastic tabs (one on each side of the GBIC).
Step 3 Slide the GBIC out of the slot.
Step 4 Install the plugs in the GBIC optical bores, and place the GBIC in protective packaging.
You can install the ACL daughter card on the following interface modules:
The minimum hardware version required to use the ACL daughter card is 4.0 for all three interface modules. Enter the show hardware command to display the hardware version.
You need the following parts and tools:
Before installing an ACL Daughter card into the Catalyst 8510 CSR, you must remove the protective guard that sits on the far left side of the top of the interface module. (See Figure 3-15.)
Follow these steps to remove the protective guard:
Step 2 Remove the protective guard from the interface module.
Step 3 Re-install screws into the interface and carrier module.
Follow these steps to install an ACL daughter card on an interface module:
Step 2 Place the interface module on an antistatic mat or bag.
Step 3 Remove the eight M3x.5 screws on the interface module and replace them with the 12-mm mounting standoffs. (See Figure 3-15.) Use the 1/4-inch socket driver to install the 12-mm mounting standoffs.
Step 4 Remove the ACL daughter card from the antistatic bag and position it over the mounting standoffs. (See Figure 3-16.) Make sure that the mounting holes are aligned with the standoffs.
Step 5 Press down firmly on the ACL daughter card to seat the daughter card onto the interface module. First press down in the center of the daughter card.
(See Figure 3-17a.) Then press down evenly on the sides of the daughter card. (See Figure 3-17b.) When the ACL daughter card is seated fully onto the standoffs, proceed to the next step.
Step 6 Install the screws that secure the ACL daughter card. (See Figure 3-18.)
Step 7 Install the interface module into the chassis. See the "Installing and Removing Interface Modules" section for instructions.
Follow these steps to remove an ACL daughter card on an interface module:
Step 2 Place the interface module on an antistatic mat or bag.
Step 3 Remove the M3x.5 screws that secure the card to the 12-mm mounting standoffs.
|
Note If you will not be using the screws again soon, you can reinstall them into the eight holes on the interface module after you have removed the ACL daughter card. |
Step 4 Grasp the left and right sides of the ACL daughter card (see Figure 3-20a) and carefully lift upward until the card is loosened from the connectors that secure it to the interface module. Then grasp the top and bottom edges near the center of the ACL daughter card (see Figure 3-20b) and carefully lift upward until the card is completely removed from the interface module.
Step 5 Remove the mounting standoffs and reserve them for future use.
