1 Any interface processors not specifically listed in the table are compatible with Cisco 7500 series or RSP7000.

2 A board part number is compatible with Cisco 7500 series or Cisco 7000 series with an RSP7000 processor option if it is equal to or greater than those listed in this column.

3 The suffix of the part number reflects the fab revision. (See the "Determining Board Part Number and Revision" section)

4 It may not be necessary to check the board revision level, because the part number suffix itself may determine compatibility.

5 A board revision should be checked only if the part number suffix is equal to those listed in the table. In this case, the board revision must be greater than or equal to those listed in the table.


Determining Board Part Number and Revision

You can determine the part number and board revision of your interface processor in one of two ways:

•Inspect the physical board

•Use the show diagbus command online

Figure 2 provides a flowchart to determine if your new interface processor is compatible with your existing interface processor, using board part numbers and revision levels.

Figure 2 Determining Compatibility from Board Part Numbers and Revision Levels

Inspecting the Physical Board

The part number and board revision are typically silk-screened along an edge of the interface processor printed circuit board, as shown in Figure 3:

Figure 3 Diagram of Interface Processor, Board, and Carrier

Using the Show Diagbus Command

You can also use the show diagbus command to determine the part number and board revision of your interface processor. The following is an example of a compatible CX-EIP6:

LEDs

The interface processor has several status LEDs on its faceplate, next to each port, which indicate conditions on that port. (See Figure 6.)

After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the FSIP has been enabled for operation.

The following conditions must be met before the interface processor is enabled:

•The interface processor microcode is valid and has been downloaded successfully.

•The interface processor is correctly connected to the backplane and is receiving power.

•The system bus recognizes the interface processor.

If any one of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails, the enabled LED does not go on.

Refer to the specific installation and configuration guide for your interface processor at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7505/interpro/index.htm to more completely understand the LEDs for your interface processor.

Figure 6 LEDs on a GEIP+ Example—Partial Faceplate View Shown

Slot Locations in the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7500 Series Routers

Interface processors are installed in the interface processor slots of the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers. Interface processors are keyed so they cannot be installed in noninterface processor slots, that is the route switch processor (RSP) slots.

The interface processor slots in the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers are as follows:

•Cisco 7000—slots 0 through 4 (See Figure 7.)

•Cisco 7010—slots 0 through 2 (See Figure 8.)

•Cisco 7505—slots 0 through 3 (See Figure 9.)

•Cisco 7507—slots 0 and 1, and slots 4 through 6 (See Figure 10.)

•Cisco 7513—slots 0 through 5, and slots 8 through 12 (See Figure 11.)

•Cisco 7576—slots 0 through 5, and slots 8 through 12 (See Figure 11.)

Note The interface processor slots are oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505, and vertically in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576.

Installation Prerequisites

This section provides important prerequisites you should observe regarding interface processor software, hardware, and microcode.

• Hardware Prerequisites

• Software Prerequisites

• Microcode Prerequisites

• List of Required Parts and Tools

Hardware Prerequisites

Interface processors operate in the Cisco 7000 or Cisco 7500 series routers with either of the following processor types:

•Interface processors operate with the CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series routers with either of the following processor types:

–Route Processor (RP) and Switch Processor (SP) (or Silicon Switch Processor [SSP]) combination

–7000 Series Route Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI) combination

•Interface processors also operate with the CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series routers, which use the Route Switch Processor (RSP).

Software Prerequisites

For the specific minimum software requirements for your interface processor, refer to the Software Advisor at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/CompNav/Index.pl, and the installation and configuration guide for your specific interface processor at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7505/interpro/index.htm.

Microcode Prerequisites

Microcode, also known as firmware, is a set of processor-specific software instructions that enables and manages the features and functions of a specific processor type. At system startup or reload, the system loads the microcode for each processor type present in the system.

The interface processor microcode boot image resides in a Flash memory device on the interface processor motherboard. The entire interface processor microcode image is delivered on a Flash memory card, on floppy disks, or is available via download from Cisco.com.

New microcode is released to enable new features, improve performance, or fix bugs in earlier versions. The Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers feature downloadable software and microcode for most upgrades. These features enable you to download new (upgraded) images remotely, store the images in router memory, and load the new images at system startup without having to physically access the router. You can store multiple versions for a specific processor type in Flash memory, and use configuration commands to specify which version the system should load at startup. All interfaces of the same type (for example, all CIP2s) use the same microcode image.

Caution To ensure proper operation of the interface processor, and to preclude system problems, you should use only the interface processor microcode image that is recommended for the version of Cisco IOS software you are running (refer to the Software Advisor at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/CompNav/Index.pl) or refer to the installation and configuration guide for your specific interface processor at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7505/interpro/index.htm.

By default, the interface processor microcode is loaded from either onboard Flash memory (if you have a Cisco 7000 or Cisco 7010 router with an RP) or the Flash memory card in slot0 for the Cisco 7500 series routers. The default interface processor microcode version can be found by entering the show microcode command.

The following is a partial-display example of the show microcode command output for a second generation channel interface processor (CIP2):

Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

•Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

•Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.

•Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

•Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

•Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Telephone Wiring Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:

•Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

•Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

•Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

•Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.

•When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.

•When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.

•Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.

•Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

•Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

•Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

Guidelines for Interface Processor Removal and Installation

This section describes the mechanical functions of system components and emphasizes the importance of following correct procedures to avoid unnecessary board failures. Specific procedures follow these general background and safety guidelines in the "Interface Processor Installation Procedures" section. For information on configuring interfaces, refer to the specific interface processor installation and configuration guide at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7505/interpro/index.htm.

After an interface processor is reinstalled, the system brings on line only interfaces that match the current configuration and were previously configured as up; all others require that you configure them with the configure command.

Caution The system can indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system to complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another interface processor. Disrupting the sequence before the system completes its verification can cause the system to interpret hardware failures.

Note We recommend that you install interface processors starting with the slots closest to the RSPs and work out concentrically from there. This will help to ensure that rejection of electromagnetic interference (EMI) is maintained.

For proper handling of interface processors during installation or removal, see Figure 12.

All interface processors have ejector levers that allow you to firmly seat an interface processor in the interface processor slot (see Figure 13). The function of the ejector levers is to align and seat the card connectors in the backplane. Failure to use the ejector levers and insert the interface processor properly can disrupt the order in which the pins make contact with the backplane.

Follow the installation and removal instructions carefully, and review the following examples of incorrect insertion practices and results:

•Using the handle to force the interface processor all the way into the slot can pop the ejector levers out of their springs. If you then try to use the ejector levers to seat the interface processor, the first layer of pins (which are already mated to the backplane) can disconnect and then remate with the backplane, which the system interprets as a board failure.

•Using the handle to force or slam the interface processor all the way into the slot can also damage the pins on the board connectors if they are not aligned properly with the backplane.

•When using the handle (rather than the ejector levers) to seat the interface processor in the backplane, you might need to pull the interface processor back out and push it in again to align it properly.

Even if the connector pins are not damaged, the pins mating with and disconnecting from the backplane will cause the system to interpret a board failure. Using the ejector levers ensures that the board connector mates with the backplane in one continuous movement.

•Using the handle to insert or remove an interface processor, or failing to push the ejector levers to the full parallel position, can leave some (not all) of the connector pins mated to the backplane, a state that will hang the system. Using the ejector levers and making sure that they are pushed fully into position ensures that all three layers of pins are mated with (or free from) the backplane.

It is also important to use the ejector levers when removing an interface processor to ensure that the board connector pins disconnect from the backplane in the logical sequence expected by the system. Any processor module (interface processor or RSP) that is only partially connected to the backplane can hang the bus. (Detailed steps for correctly installing and removing an interface processor follow in the "Interface Processor Installation Procedures" section.)

For additional information, refer to the installation and configuration guide for your interface processor available online at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7505/interpro/index.htm, on the Documentation CD-ROM, or as printed documents. Refer to the Cisco 7500 Series Router Documentation flyer (part number DOC-7812955) that shipped with your interface processor, or view it at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7505/12955fly.htm.

Interface Processor Installation Procedures

The following sections describe the procedures for removing or installing an interface processor. (See the "Guidelines for Interface Processor Removal and Installation" section before removing an interface processor while power to the system is on.)

Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, remove or insert only one interface processor at a time. Also, after inserting or removing an interface processor, allow at least 15 seconds before removing or inserting another interface processor so that the system can reinitialize and note the current configuration of all interfaces.

Note If you install or remove other interface processors in a Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series router with a CT3IP installed, you might have to reboot the system after the removal and replacement of that interface processor. (In general, and to prevent system problems, we recommend you follow the procedures described in this section and the guidelines described in the "Guidelines for Interface Processor Removal and Installation" section.)

Shutting Down an Interface

If you are installing a new interface processor or replacing an existing interface processor, proceed to the "Removing an Interface Processor" section.

If you are removing an interface processor that you will not replace, or replacing an interface processor component, we recommend you shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured interface processor. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command displays.

Use the following standard procedure to shut down any interface:

Step 1 Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter. (Refer to the "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section for instructions.)

Step 2 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of configuration subcommands as follows: 

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 3 Specify the slot/port address of the first interface that you want to shut down by entering the subcommand interface type slot/port, where the type is serial, ethernet, and so forth, and slot/port is the interface processor slot followed by the port number to be shut down.

Following is an example for the first interface port on an interface processor in interface processor slot 0: 

Router(config)# interface type 0/0

Step 4 Enter the shutdown command as follows: 

Router(config-if)# shutdown

Step 5 To shut down additional interfaces, enter the slot/port address of each additional interface followed by the shutdown command. When you have entered all the interfaces to be shut down, press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt, as follows: 

Router(config-if)# interface type 0/1

Router(config-if)# shutdown

Router(config-if)# interface type 0/2

Router(config-if)# shutdown

Ctrl-Z

Step 6 Write the new configuration to nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) as follows: 

Router# copy running-config startup-config

[OK]

Router#

The system displays an OK message when the configuration has been stored.

Step 7 To verify that new interfaces are now in the correct state (shut down), use the show interface type slot/port command to display the specific interface, or use the show interfaces command, without variables, to display the status of all interfaces in the system. 

Router# show interface type 0/0


(additional displayed text omitted from this example)


Type1/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down


(additional displayed text omitted from this example)

Step 8 To reenable the interfaces, repeat the previous steps but use the no shutdown command (see Step 4), then write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows: 

Router# copy running-config startup-config

[OK]

Router# show interface type 0/0


(additional displayed text omitted from this example)


Type0/0 is up, line protocol is up


(additional displayed text omitted from this example)

This completes the procedure for shutting down an interface.

Perform the maintenance procedures you require, then reenable the interface using the no shutdown command. To reconfigure your interface, follow the specific configuration steps that are provided in the installation and configuration guide for your interface processor.

Removing an Interface Processor

If you are replacing a failed interface processor, remove the existing board first, then install the new interface processor in the same slot. If you are adding a new interface processor, proceed to the "Installing an Interface Processor" section.

Note In Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 systems, online insertion and removal of any interface processor in either CyBus might cause the standby RSP2 to reboot with a bus error or a processor memory parity error. The master RSP will recover from this event and issue a "cBus Complex Restart" message. Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 systems that are configured with an RSP4 as the system standby are not affected and will not experience this problem.

Note You can determine the processor model (RSP2 or RSP4) by using the global IOS command show controller cbus from the master console as follows:

Router# sh cont cbus
<text omitted>
slot3: RSP2, hw 1.2, sw 11.02, ccb 0, cmdq 48000098, vps 8192
software loaded from system
<text omitted>

If you have a Cisco 7507 or a Cisco 7513 with an RSP2 configured as the system standby, we strongly recommend that you use the following procedure to remove and replace an interface processor to avoid cBus Complex Restarts:

Step 1 Remove the slave RSP2.

Step 2 Wait 15 seconds.

Step 3 Remove and replace the interface processor using the procedures in this publication.

Step 4 Wait 15 seconds.

Step 5 Reinsert the slave RSP2.

Figure 12 shows proper handling of an interface processor during installation.

Figure 12 Handling Interface Processors during Installation (Horizontal Orientation Shown)

This completes the procedure for removing and replacing an RSP2 in a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 router.

Before you remove an interface processor that you will not replace, or replace an interface processor component, we recommend you shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured interface processor. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command displays. (For the interface shutdown procedure, see the "Upgrading Interface Processor Microcode Images" section.)

Use the following procedure to remove an interface processor:

Step 1 Disconnect the interface processor cables from the interface ports.

Step 2 Loosen the captive installation screws at the ends of the interface processor faceplate. (See Figure 13a.)

Caution Always use the ejector levers to remove or install an interface processor. Failure to do so can cause erroneous system error messages, indicating a board failure.

Step 3 Place your thumbs on the upper and lower ejector levers and simultaneously push the top ejector lever up and the bottom ejector lever down (in the opposite direction from that shown in Figure 13c) to release an interface processor from the backplane connector.

Step 4 Grasp the interface processor handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to guide the interface processor out of the slot. (See Figure 12.) Avoid touching the board or any connector pins.

Step 5 Carefully pull the interface processor straight out of the slot, keeping one hand under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 12.) Keep the interface processor parallel to the backplane.

Step 6 Place the removed interface processor on an antistatic mat or foam pad, or place it in an antistatic bag if you will return it to the factory.

Step 7 If the interface processor slot is to remain empty, install an interface processor filler (MAS-7000BLANK=) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the interface processor compartment.

This completes the procedure for removing an interface processor.

Installing an Interface Processor

Interface processors slide into any available interface processor slot and connect directly to the backplane. The backplane slots are keyed so that interface processors can be installed only in interface processor slots. Interface processor fillers, which are blank interface processor carriers, occupy empty slots to maintain consistent air flow through the interface processor compartment.

If you install a new interface processor, you have to first remove the interface processor filler from the available interface processor slot. Figure 13 shows functional details of inserting an interface processor and using ejector levers. ( Figure 12 shows proper handling of an interface processor during installation.)

Note There are no restrictions on slot locations or interface processor sequence, and you can install the interface processor in any available interface processor slot; however, in the Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513, we recommend that you install interface processors starting with the slots closest to the RSPs and work out concentrically from there. This will help prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Caution Remove or insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system to complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another interface processor. Disrupting the sequence before the system completes its ver
