is partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to hang and subsequently crash.
Caution
After the chassis power has been turned OFF, the installation and removal procedure is the same as
the preceding steps for replacing interface processors.
Sample Screen Display for OIR
When you remove and replace CxBus interface processors, the system provides status messages
across the console screen. The messages are for information only. In the following sample display,
you can follow the events logged by the system as an EIP was removed from slot 3, then the system
reinitialized the remaining interface processors and marked the EIP that was removed from slot 3 as
down. When the EIP was reinserted, the system marked the interfaces as up again.
Microcode Component Replacement
The SP (or SSP) and each interface processor contain default microcode (firmware), which is an
image of board-specific software instructions on a single ROM on each board. Microcode operates
with the system software and controls features and functions that are unique to an interface processor
type. New features and enhancements to the system or interfaces are often implemented in
microcode upgrades. Although each processor type contains the latest available microcode version
(in ROM) when it leaves the factory, updated microcode images are periodically distributed with
system software images to enable new features, improve performance, or fix bugs in earlier versions.
The latest available microcode version for each interface processor type is bundled with each new
system software maintenance upgrade; the bundled images are distributed as a single image on
floppy disk or a Flash memory card.
5-164 Cisco 7000 Hardware Installation and Maintenance
Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the top and bottom of the
interface processor.
Attach network interface cables or other devices to the interface ports.
Check the status of the interfaces as follows:
•
If this installation is a replacement interface processor, use the show interfaces or show
controller [type] command to verify that the system has acknowledged the new
interfaces and brought them up.
•
If the interfaces are new, use the configure command or the setup command facility to
configure the new interface(s). This does not have to be done immediately, but the
interfaces will not be available until you configure them.
Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing processor modules. A module that
You must power down the system before removing or installing an RP or SP (or SSP).
