This chapter describes how to remove the existing Enhanced Address Recognition Logic (EARL) card on your Supervisor Engine III and replace it with the NetFlow Feature Card (NFFC).
After you install the NFFC, you must boot to Catalyst 5000 series supervisor engine software release 4.1(1) or later. We suggest that you perform the upgrade as follows:
Caution Use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Refer to the Catalyst 5000 Series Installation Guide for ESD details including the locations of the ESD connectors on the Catalyst 5000 series switches.
Follow this procedure to install the NFFC:
Step 1 If not already removed, remove the supervisor engine from the Catalyst 5000 series switch (refer to the Catalyst 5000 Series Installation Guide for removal instructions).
Step 2 Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the seven screws securing the EARL card to the supervisor engine standoffs (see Figure 4-1 for screw locations). Set the screws in a secure place so you can reuse them in Step 7.
Step 3 Carefully pull the EARL card up and out of the supervisor engine. Note that the bus connectors on the bottom of the EARL card provide the interface to the supervisor engine. Be careful when unseating the EARL card from these connectors.
Step 4 Place the removed EARL card in an antistatic bag.
Step 5 Remove the NFFC from its antistatic bag and install it on the supervisor engine. Be careful when seating the NFFC bus connectors to the supervisor engine.
Step 6 Ensure that the NFFC is securely seated in the supervisor engine.
Step 7 Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to install the seven screws that secure the NFFC to the supervisor engine standoffs.
Step 8 Install the supervisor engine into the Catalyst 5000 series switch (refer to the Catalyst 5000 Series Installation Guide for installation instructions).
