This document provides installation and maintenance procedures for the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module.
This document contains these sections:
The FlexWAN module is installed in a Catalyst 6000 family switch that has a supervisor engine with a Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) and Policy Feature Card (PFC). The MSFC, in conjunction with the FlexWAN module, provides multiprotocol routing support with full Internet route connectivity for speeds ranging from serial RS-232 to OC-3. The FlexWAN module can accept up to two Cisco 7200/7500 WAN port adapters, which deliver WAN consolidation and extend quality of service (QoS) and traffic management capabilities over WAN segments. The FlexWAN module supports ATM and POS OC-3 links and channelized, multichannel, and clear channel port adapters at speeds from T1/E1 to T3/E3.
 |
Note To use the FlexWAN module, you must have a supervisor engine with an MSFC and PFC. You configure the FlexWAN module through the MSFC. |
|
Note In a redundant MSFC configuration, the FlexWAN module interfaces appear only on the designated MSFC. To configure the FlexWAN module interfaces on the redundant MSFC, you must force a switchover. The interfaces can be configured and the configuration can be saved. The saved configuration is used on the redundant MSFC if a switchover occurs. |
Table 1 shows the port adapters supported on the FlexWAN module.
| Group | Port Adapter |
|---|---|
Packet over Sonet (OC-3) | PA-POS-OC3MM |
ATM (with traffic shaping) | PA-A3-OC3MM |
T3/E3 (clear-channel and channelized) | PA-T3 |
T1/E1 | PA-4T+ |
HSSI | PA-H |
|
Note The power requirement for the FlexWAN module is 2.38A. For information on power requirements for supervisor engines and switching modules, refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Software Configuration Guide. |
To use the FlexWAN module, a supervisor engine with an MSFC and a PFC is required. You configure the FlexWAN module through the MSFC.
The software requirements are as follows:
The LED on the FlexWAN module front panel (see Figure 1) indicates the status of the FlexWAN module. Table 2 describes LED operation.

|
Note For detailed information about port adapter LEDs, refer to the documentation that shipped with your port adapter. |
 |
Warning Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Site Preparation and Safety Guide. This guide contains important safety information you should know before working with the system. |
|
Note Before you can install the FlexWAN module, you must install the Catalyst 6000 family switch chassis and at least one supervisor engine. |
These tools are required to install the FlexWAN module in the Catalyst 6000 family switch:
|
Note Refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Installation Guide for ESD details including the locations of the ESD connectors on the Catalyst 6000 family switches. |
|
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment. |
The FlexWAN module is installed into the horizontal slots of the Catalyst 6000 family switch chassis. The slots, which are numbered from top to bottom, are shown in Figure 2.
|
Note Although the FlexWAN module supports online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove the FlexWAN module from the Catalyst 6000 family switch, and then install or replace the port adapters as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the FlexWAN module in which you want to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the FlexWAN module from the switch, and then remove the blank port adapter. |
Both the Catalyst 6009 and 6509 switch chassis have nine slots. The Catalyst 6006 and 6506 switch chassis have six slots. In all chassis, slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine and slot 2 can contain an additional redundant supervisor engine in case the supervisor engine in slot 1 fails. If a redundant supervisor engine is not required, slots 2 through 9 on the 9-slot chassis and slots 2 through 6 on the 6-slot chassis are available for switching modules. Switching-module filler plates, which are blank switching-module carriers, are installed in empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.
To install the FlexWAN module in the Catalyst 6000 family switch, perform these steps:
 |
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only. |
|
Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components. |
Step 2 Install port adapters on the FlexWAN module (see the "Installing or Replacing a FlexWAN Module Port Adapter" section).
Step 3 Choose a slot for the FlexWAN module.
Step 4 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws that secure the switching-module filler plate (or the existing switching module) from the desired slot, if present.
Step 5 Remove the switching-module filler plate (or the existing switching module), if present.
Step 6 Hold the FlexWAN module handle with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier to support the FlexWAN module. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.
Step 7 Place the FlexWAN module in the slot. Align the notch on the sides of the module carrier with the groove in the slot.
Step 8 Keep the FlexWAN module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane, and carefully slide the FlexWAN module into the slot until the module faceplate contacts the ejector levers (see Figure 3).
Step 9 Use the thumb and forefinger of each hand and simultaneously push in the left and right levers to fully seat the FlexWAN module in the backplane connector.
|
Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing modules. A module that is partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to halt and subsequently crash. |
Step 10 Tighten the captive installation screws on the left and right ends of the FlexWAN module.
Step 11 Enter the show module command to verify that the system acknowledges the new module and has brought it online.
This example shows the output of the show module command:

After you install the FlexWAN module, you must connect the port adapter cables and configure the port adapter interfaces. For complete cabling and configuration information for the port adapters, refer to the documentation that shipped with your port adapter.
These sections provide maintenance procedures for the FlexWAN module and port adapters:
This section provides a procedure for removing and replacing the memory on the FlexWAN module in the Catalyst 6000 family switches.
The synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) on the Catalyst FlexWAN module is contained in two small outline dual inline memory modules (SODIMMs) (see Figure 4). Depending on your system configuration, you might need to upgrade SDRAM. Also, if a system problem is determined to be caused by a SODIMM, a SODIMM replacement might be required.
|
Note The FlexWAN module has 64 MB of ECC SDRAM per port adapter bay (128 MB for the entire FlexWAN module). It can be upgraded to 128 MB ECC SDRAM memory for each port adapter bay (256 MB for the entire FlexWAN module). |
|
Note Only SDRAM from the Cisco System's-approved vendor list (AVL) should be used. Only 100-MHz SDRAM SODIMMs should be used. A Cisco part number appears on the SODIMMs. |
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle the SODIMMs by the card edges only (see Figure 6). Place the removed SODIMMs on an antistatic mat and store them in an antistatic container. |
Follow these steps to remove the existing SODIMMs:
Step 2 Place the FlexWAN module on an antistatic mat or pad and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as a wrist strap.
Step 3 Locate the SODIMMs (see Figure 4).
Step 4 Release the spring clips from the SODIMM that you want to remove, and release the SODIMM from the socket (see Figure 5).
Step 5 When both ends of the SODIMM are released from the socket, grasp the ends of the SODIMM with your thumb and forefinger and pull the SODIMM completely out of the socket. Handle the edges of the SODIMM only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or the metal traces or fingers, along the socket edge.
Step 6 Place the SODIMM in an antistatic container to protect it from ESD damage.
Step 7 Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 for the remaining SODIMM, as required for this replacement.
This completes the SODIMM removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install the new SODIMMs.
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle SODIMMs as shown in Figure 6. |
Follow these steps to install the new SODIMMs:
Step 2 Hold the SODIMM component side up, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) away from you.
Step 3 Hold the sides of the SODIMM between your thumb and middle finger, with your forefinger against the far edge, opposite the connector edge (see Figure 6).
Step 4 Tilt the SODIMM to approximately the same angle as the socket, and insert the connector edge into the socket.
|
Caution When inserting SODIMMs, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have to return the FlexWAN module to the factory for repair. |
Step 5 Press the SODIMM down until it is secured by the spring clips.
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for the remaining SODIMMs.
Step 7 When both SODIMMs are installed, check all four alignment holes (two on each SODIMM) and ensure that the spring retainer is visible. If it is not, the SODIMM is not seated properly. If any SODIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the SODIMM firmly back into the socket until the retainer springs snap into place.
This completes the SDRAM SODIMM replacement procedure. Reinstall the FlexWAN module in the chassis and restart the system for an installation check. The installation check is provided in the "Checking a SDRAM Upgrade or Replacement" section.
If, after a SDRAM upgrade or replacement, the system fails to boot properly, or if the console terminal displays a checksum or memory error, check the following:
If after several attempts the system fails to restart properly, contact a service representative for assistance. Before you call, note any error messages, unusual LED states, or other indications that might help solve the problem.
This section provides a procedure for installing a port adapter in the FlexWAN module in the Catalyst 6000 family switches.
Port adapters can be installed in either port adapter bay 0 or port adapter bay 1. Figure 7 shows one PA-H port adapter installed in port adapter bay 0 on a Catalyst FlexWAN module.
Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
|
Note When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow 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 the blank port adapter. |
|
Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter's components or connector pins. (See Figure 8.) |
|
Caution To prevent system problems, do not remove port adapters from the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module or attempt to install other port adapters on the module when the system is operating. To install or replace port adapters, first remove the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module from its interface processor slot. |
|
Note As you disengage the port adapter from the router or switch, online insertion and removal (OIR) administratively shuts down all active interfaces in the port adapter. |
Observe the following warnings and cautions when installing or removing port adapters.
|
Caution Do not slide a port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying to do so will disrupt normal operation of the router or switch. |
|
Caution To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to ensure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connection at the rear of the port adapter slot, make certain that the carrier is positioned correctly, as shown in the cutaway in the following illustrations. |
|
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. |
