This configuration note contains procedures for installing the 32-MB single inline memory module (SIMM), network management processor (NMP) boot ROM, and master communication processor (MCP) boot ROM upgrade kits for the Catalyst 5000 series Supervisor Engine II.
This document contains the following sections:
The following tools are required to remove and replace the SIMM and NMP and MCP boot ROMs:
Safety warnings appear throughout this note in procedures that, if performed incorrectly, may harm you. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.
 | Warning This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, you must be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. To see translated versions of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Appendix, "Translated Safety Warnings" in the Catalyst 5000 Series Supervisor Engine Installation Guide. |
Follow these guidelines to ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list does not include all potentially hazardous situations that you may be exposed to as you install the switch, so be alert.
| Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment. |
| Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals. |
The redundant supervisor engine, power supplies, fan assembly, and switching modules are designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system.
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
To check if you need to upgrade the boot ROMs on your Supervisor Engine II, follow these steps:
Step 1 If not installed in a running chassis already, install the supervisor engine in a Catalyst 5002, 5000, 5505, or 5500 chassis and boot the switch. (See the "Replacing the Supervisor Engine" section for installation instructions.)
Step 2 With the switch up and running, enter the show version command to check the boot ROM version numbers on the Supervisor Engine II.
Check the Fw and Fw1 version levels. The Fw version number is the NMP boot ROM version level. The Fw1 version number is the MCP boot ROM version level.
If the NMP version level is lower than software release 5.1(2), you must upgrade the NMP boot ROM on the module. If the MCP version level is lower than software release 4.3(1), you must upgrade the MCP boot ROM on the module.
This example shows how to check the boot ROM version levels on a Supervisor Engine II:
Console> (enable) show version 1
Mod Port Model Serial # Versions
--- ---- ---------- --------- ----------------------------------------
1 2 WS-X5509 007486003 Hw : 2.3
Fw : 3.1(2)
Fw1: 3.1(1)
Sw : 4.2(1)
Console> (enable)
In this example, the NMP boot ROM (Fw) version level is software release 3.1(2), and the MCP boot ROM (Fw1) version level is software release 3.1(1). Before using the Supervisor Engine II in the Catalyst 5000 series chassis, you must upgrade both the NMP and MCP boot ROMs.
To remove and replace the SIMM, NMP boot ROM, and MCP boot ROM, you must first remove the supervisor engine from the switch.
 | Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components. |
| Caution The supervisor engine is a required system component. If only one supervisor engine is present, removing a supervisor engine while the system is operating causes the system to halt. |
| Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, note the current configuration of all interfaces before you remove or replace another switching module, and allow at least 15 seconds for the system to reinitialize after a module has been removed or replaced. |
Before you remove a supervisor engine, you should first upload the current configuration to a server. This saves time when bringing the module back online. You can recover the configuration by downloading it from the server to the nonvolatile memory of the supervisor engine.
To remove a supervisor engine, perform these steps:
 | 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 1 If you do not plan to immediately reinstall the supervisor engine you are removing, disconnect any network interface cables attached to the uplink ports.
Step 2 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the module.
Step 3 Grasp the left and right ejector levers; simultaneously pull the left lever to the left and the right lever to the right to release the module from the backplane connector.
Step 4 As you pull the module out of the slot, place one of your hands under the carrier to support it. Avoid touching the module itself.
Step 5 Carefully pull the module straight out of the slot, keeping one hand under the carrier to guide it. Keep the module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane (horizontal to
the floor).
Step 6 Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
The SIMM is fastened to the Supervisor Engine II motherboard. Once you remove the supervisor engine from the Catalyst 5000 series switch, you can remove and replace the SIMM.
| Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components. |
To remove and replace the SIMM, refer to Figure 3 and perform the following steps:
 | Caution Handle the SIMM by its edges only; avoid touching the memory module, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along the connector edge of the SIMM). SIMMs are sensitive components that are susceptible to ESD damage, and can be shorted by mishandling. |
Step 1 To remove a SIMM from its socket, pull the locking spring clips on both sides outward and tilt the SIMM free of the clips. Be careful not to break the clips on the SIMM connector.
Step 2 Hold the SIMM by the edges and gently lift and remove it, placing it on an antistatic mat or foam.
Step 3 Remove the replacement 32-MB SIMM from its package, holding it by its edges, and carefully insert it into the connector so that it clicks into place.
To upgrade the NMP and MCP boot ROMs in the Supervisor Engine II, follow these steps:
| Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components. |
Step 1 If you have not already done so, remove the Supervisor Engine II by following the instructions in the "Removing the Supervisor Engine" section.
Step 2 Locate the NMP boot ROM on the Supervisor Engine II.
On the 100BaseTX Supervisor Engine II (WS-X5509), the NMP boot ROM is located in socket U145 of the motherboard (see Figure 4).
On the 100BaseFX single-mode (WS-X5505) or multimode (WS-X5506) fiber Supervisor Engine II, the NMP boot ROM is located in socket U146 of the motherboard (see Figure 4).
Step 3 To extract the NMP boot ROM from the motherboard, slide the tips of the PLCC extractor tool into the socket extraction slots until the angled tips are beneath the boot ROM device (see Figure 5).
Holding the tool as shown in Figure 5, remove the chip from the socket by squeezing the handles of the extraction tool evenly and pulling the boot ROM device straight upward until it is released from the socket. Use care not to damage the boot ROM device or
the socket.
Step 4 Place the extracted NMP boot ROM in an antistatic bag.
Step 5 Carefully remove the new software release 5.1(2) NMP boot ROM from its packaging.
Step 6 Insert the NMP boot ROM in socket U145 or U146 on the motherboard. Be sure to orient the boot ROM so that the notched corner of the chip matches the notched corner of the socket (see Figure 6). Press the boot ROM into place evenly and firmly until it is completely seated in the socket.
| Caution Make sure you orient the chip to the socket correctly. If the chip is oriented to the socket improperly, you can damage both the chip and the socket. |
Step 7 Locate the MCP boot ROM on the Supervisor Engine II. The MCP boot ROM is located in socket U56 of the motherboard (see Figure 4).
Step 8 To extract the MCP boot ROM from the motherboard, slide the tips of the PLCC extractor tool into the socket extraction slots until the angled tips are beneath the boot ROM device (see Figure 5).
Holding the tool as shown in Figure 5, remove the chip from the socket by squeezing the handles of the extraction tool evenly and pulling the boot ROM device straight upward until it is released from the socket. Use care not to damage the boot ROM or the socket.
Step 9 Place the extracted MCP boot ROM in an antistatic bag.
Step 10 Carefully remove the new software release 4.3(1) MCP boot ROM from its packaging.
Step 11 Insert the MCP boot ROM in socket U56 on the motherboard. Be sure to orient the boot ROM so that the notched corner of the chip matches the notched corner of the socket (see Figure 6). Press the boot ROM into place evenly and firmly until it is completely seated in the socket.
Step 12 Install the supervisor engine in the Catalyst 5000 series switch (see the "Replacing the Supervisor Engine" section for installation instructions) and boot the switch.
Step 13 When the system comes online, use the show version command to verify that the supervisor engine Fw (NMP) version level is software release 5.1(2) and that the Fw1 (MCP) version level is software release 4.3(1):
