This chapter describes the component replacement procedures for various components and contains these sections:
Before performing any of the procedures in this chapter, review the section "Preparing for Component Installation" in the chapter "Installing and Connecting Components."
| Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source. |
You need the following parts and tools:
Follow these steps to remove the active route processor or switch module and install a new one:
Step 2 Turn off the device, but to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not disconnect the power cable.
| Caution The route processor and switch modules are required system components. Removing or installing a route processor or switch module while the device is operating causes the system to shut down and can damage the processor. Power off the device before removing or installing the route processor or switch module. |
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 or switch module. (See Figure 4-1.)
Step 6 Grasp the left and right release levers between your thumbs and index fingers. Simultaneously pull outward on the levers to release the route processor or switch module from the backplane connector. (See Figure 4-1.)
Step 7 Grasp the route processor or switch module faceplate with one hand. Place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide the processor out of the slot. Avoid touching the card.
Step 8 Carefully pull the route processor or switch module straight out of the slot, keeping your hand under the processor to guide it. Keep the card at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane.
Step 9 Place the removed route processor or switch module on an antistatic mat.
Step 10 Install the new route processor or switch module in the chassis. (For more information, refer to Steps 2 through 6 in the section "Installing the Route Processor or Switch Module" in the chapter "Installing and Connecting Components.")
Step 11 Reconnect all cables to the route processor.
Step 12 Turn on the system.
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:
You need these parts and tools:
Follow these steps to remove the current Flash memory SIMM:
Step 2 Turn off the device, but to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not disconnect the power cable.
| Caution Do not remove the route processor while the device is turned on. Removing the route processor while the power is on might damage the processor. |
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. Slide it out of the chassis. (For more information, refer to the section "Removing and Installing the Route Processor or Switch Module" earlier in this chapter.)
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 4-2.
Step 8 Locate the Flash memory SIMM at the front right corner of the route processor. (See Figure 4-2.)
Step 9 Place your index fingers on the sides of the SIMM socket and your thumbs on the spring clips, as shown in Figure 4-3.
Step 10 Press outward on the spring clips with your thumbs to release the Flash memory SIMM from the SIMM socket. (See Figure 4-3.)
Step 11 Tilt the Flash memory SIMM upward and remove it from the SIMM socket. Handle the edges of the SIMM only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or metal traces along the socket edge.
Step 12 Place the Flash memory SIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Proceed to the next section to install the new Flash memory SIMM.
Take these steps to install a new Flash memory SIMM:
Step 1 Place the route processor in the same orientation as in the previous procedure (with the edge connectors facing away from you and the faceplate toward you).
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 (see Figure 4-4).
| 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 (see Figure 4-5). 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 4-6.)
Step 6 Reinstall the route processor in the chassis. (For more information, refer to the section "Installing the Route Processor or Switch Module" in the chapter "Installing and Connecting Components.")
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 Power up 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.
A GBIC (see Figure 4-7) is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into the module, linking the module with the fiber-optic network. The following GBIC media types are supported:
Other GBIC media types may be supported as additional technology becomes available.

The Gigabit Ethernet Module can be shipped with or without a GBIC installed.
| Caution When removing or inserting a GBIC, always wear an ESD wrist strap connected to the Catalyst 8540 ESD wrist strap connector. |
To install a GBIC, perform these steps:
Step 1 Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
Step 2 Verify that the GBIC is the correct type for your network by checking the part number. The number indicates whether it is 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX, or other.
Step 3 Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger; insert the GBIC into the slot on the front of the module (see Figure 4-8).
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 for future use.
| Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. |
To remove a GBIC, follow these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the GBIC SC connector.
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.
Follow these care and handling guidelines to ensure the performance of your GBIC:
