Preparing for Installation or Removal
Safety Precautions for Module Installation and Removal
Be sure to observe the following warnings and safety precautions when you work on the router.
Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing. Statement 1034
Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,
detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1026
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029
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. The supervisor engine or route switch processor consists 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 boards from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines whenever you handle supervisor engine or RSP modules and router components:
• 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 components by their handles or edges only; do not touch 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.

Determining Module Location
•
•
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 Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be within the range of 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
Tools Required for Module Installation
These tools are required to install modules in the Cisco 7600 series router:
• Flat-blade screwdriver
•
•
Antistatic wrist strap or other grounding device
Antistatic mat or antistatic foam

Installing a Supervisor Engine or Route Switch Processor
To install a supervisor engine or route switch processor module in the router, perform the following steps:
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
Step 1
Step 2
Choose a slot for the module (see
Table 3-1 ). Make sure that there is enough clearance to accommodate
any equipment that will be connected to the ports on the module. If possible, place modules between empty slots that contain only blank module filler plates.
a.
b.
If a blank module filler plate is installed in the slot in which you plan to install the module, remove the plate by removing its two Phillips pan-head screws.
If another module is installed in the slot, remove the module by following the procedure in the
“Removing a Supervisor Engine or Route Switch Processor” section on page 3-7
.
Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis.
This step ensures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or replacement module.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, which reduces the opening size and makes it difficult to install the new module.
Step 3 Fully open both ejector levers on the new module. (See
.)

While pressing down, simultaneously close both ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
Note Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.
Step 8 Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module.
Note Make sure the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.
Note Blank module filler plates (Cisco part number 800-00292-01) should be installed in any empty chassis slots to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain consistent airflow through the chassis.

Removing a Supervisor Engine or Route Switch Processor
Removing a Supervisor Engine or Route Switch Processor
Before you remove a supervisor engine or route switch processor (RSP) from the router, you should first save the current configuration using the write {host file | network | terminal} command. This step 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 or RSP.
If the module is running Cisco IOS software, save the current running configuration by entering the
copy running-config startup-config command.
Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing. Statement 1034
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
To remove a supervisor engine or RSP, perform these steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Disconnect any cables attached to ports on the module.
Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight. This step assures that the space created by the removed module is maintained.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, which reduces the opening size and makes it difficult to remove the module.
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module you plan to remove from the chassis.
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers (see
Figure 3-1 ) and simultaneously rotate the ejector levers
outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module straight out of the slot. If the chassis has horizontal slots, place your hand under the module to support its weight as you slide it out from the slot.
Do not touch the module circuitry.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
Step 6
Step 7
Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall the module in another slot.
Install blank module filler plates (Cisco part number 800-00292-01) in any empty slots to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain consistent airflow through the chassis.
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Hot Swapping (OIR) Modules
Hot Swapping (OIR) Modules
Cisco 7600 series routers provide a feature that allows you to remove and replace a redundant supervisor engine or route switch processor (and other redundant cards) without powering down the router. This feature, called hot swapping or online insertion and removal (OIR), allows you to remove and replace a redundant module without disrupting router operation.
When two redundant modules are installed in the router, only one of the modules is active at a time. The other one runs in standby mode, ready to take over processing if the active module fails.
When you remove or insert a redundant module while the router is powered on and running, the router does the following:
1.
Determines if there is sufficient power for the module.
2.
3.
Scans the backplane for configuration changes.
Initializes the newly inserted module. In addition, the system notes any removed modules and places those modules in the administratively shutdown state.
4.
Places any previously configured interfaces on the module back to the state they were in when they were removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown state, as if they were present (but unconfigured) at boot time. If you insert the same type of module into a slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count of the original module.
The router runs diagnostic tests on any new interfaces and the test results indicate the following:
•
•
•
If the tests pass, the router is operating normally.
If the new module is faulty, the router resumes normal operation but leaves the new interfaces disabled.
If the diagnostic tests fail, the router stops operating, which usually indicates that the new module has a problem in the bus and should be removed.
Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, note the current configuration of all interfaces before you remove or replace another module, and allow at least 15 seconds for the system to reinitialize after a module has been removed or replaced.
Removing and Replacing Memory
The multilayer switch feature card (MSFC4) on the RSP720 supports several configurable options for dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). The router uses this memory to store routing tables, protocols, and network accounting applications. The DRAM resides on four dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs), which you can remove and replace in order to upgrade the module with more memory or to replace failed memory.
Note If you are replacing DRAM on an existing MSFC4, upload your current configuration file to a remote server before you remove the memory. Otherwise, you will have to re-enter all your current configuration information manually after you replace the memory.

In addition to the above configuration requirements, note that with a Supervisor Engine 2 you can use two types of console cables to connect a terminal to the console port. To accommodate either type of cable, set the console port mode switch (to the right of the console port) as follows:
• To use the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and DTE adapter (labeled “Terminal”) provided with the router, make sure that the console port mode switch is in the in position (factory default).
• To use a Catalyst 5000 Supervisor Engine III console cable and adapter (not provided), make sure that the console port mode switch is in the out position, and use the appropriate adapter for the terminal connection. See the “Console Port Mode 2 Signaling and Pinouts (Sup2 Only)” section on page B-10 for a list of console port pinouts when the switch is in the out position.
Note To access the console port mode switch, use a ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object.
Connecting a Modem
To connect a modem to the console port, observe the following guidelines:
•
•
Use the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and the RJ-45-to-DB-25 data communications equipment
(DCE) adapter (labeled “Modem”) provided with the router.
On a Supervisor Engine 2, make sure that the console port mode switch is in the in position (factory default).
Connecting to the Uplink Ports
The supervisor engine and route switch processor have uplink ports that you use to connect the router to other network devices. You can configure the ports with small form-factor pluggable (SFP), XENPAK,
X2, or Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) optics modules.

Installing a Flash Memory Card
To install a flash memory card, follow these steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Hold the memory card with the connector end of the card toward the slot. The connector end of the card is
opposite the end with the write-protection switch (if there is one), which is shown in Figure 3-5
.
Slide the card into the slot until the device completely seats in the connector at the back of the slot and the ejector button pops out toward you.
Caution Do not attempt to force the memory card fully into the slot or you could damage the connector pins.
When correctly inserted, a portion of the device remains outside the slot.
Step 3 Format the memory card the first time that it is installed in the system.
Note Be sure to format the memory card with the type of supervisor engine or route switch processor that the card is being used with. A memory card formatted for one type of supervisor engine or route switch processor may not work with another type.
