7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI) Replacement in the Cisco 7000 Series Routers

7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI) Replacement in the Cisco 7000 Series Routers

Product Number RSP7000CI=

This document contains instructions for replacing the 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI) in the Cisco 7000 series routers: the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010. The RSP7000CI provides all of the environmental monitoring functions for the Cisco 7000 series router and is a required system component in a Cisco 7000 series chassis configured with the RSP7000.

In the Cisco 7000, the RSP7000CI is installed in the 7000 CI slot (slot 6 in the Cisco 7000 and slot 4 in the Cisco 7010) on the interface processor end of the Cisco 7000 series chassis.


Note This document discusses the replacement of an RSP7000CI in a Cisco 7000 series chassis that has already been configured with a 7000 Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and an RSP7000CI.

If you have a Cisco 7000 series chassis with a Route Processor (RP) and Switch Processor (SP) (or Silicon Switch Processor [SSP]) installed, in slots 6 and 5 respectively, do not attempt to install the RSP7000CI. You will need to upgrade the chassis with an RSP7000 before you install the RSP7000CI. Refer to the note at the end of this document, and contact a service representative or the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for information on how to proceed.

The RSP7000CI operation requires that your Cisco 7000 series router has an RSP7000 installed, and is running Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) Release 10.3(9), or later, Release 11.0(6), or later, or Release 11.1(1) or later.

The sections in this document include the following:

Product Overview

Following are brief descriptions of the Cisco 7000 series routers and the RSP7000CI.

What Is the Cisco 7000?

The Cisco 7000 is a seven-slot router chassis, which uses the new RSP7000 kit. The Cisco 7000 provides up to five interface processor slots, and can accommodate the following CxBus-based interface processors: Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), channel attachment, multichannel, serial, and so forth. The RSP7000, RSP7000CI, and interface processors are keyed with guides on the backplane to prevent them from being fully inserted in the wrong slot.

Figure 1 shows the rear of the Cisco 7000 router. In the Cisco 7000, slot 6 is reserved for the RSP7000CI board, which contains all of the environmental monitoring functions for the Cisco 7000, when configured with the new 7000 RSP. The remaining six slots (0 through 5) are for interface processors and the RSP7000.

What Is the Cisco 7010?

The Cisco 7010 is a five-slot chassis, which uses the new RSP7000CI (and the RSP7000), and provides up to three interface processor slots that can accommodate the following CxBus-based interface processors: Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), channel attachment, multichannel, serial, and so forth. The processor and interface processors are keyed with guides on the backplane to prevent them from being fully inserted in the wrong slot.

Figure 2 shows the rear of the Cisco 7010 router with the RSP7000CI and RSP7000 installed. In the Cisco 7010, slot 4 is reserved for the RSP7000CI, which contains all of the environmental monitoring functions for the Cisco 7010. The remaining three slots (slots 0 through 2) are for interface processors.

What is the RSP7000CI?

The RSP7000CI, shown in Figure 3 on page 4, consists of a printed circuit board attached to a metal carrier. The RSP7000CI provides the environmental monitoring and power supply monitoring functions for the Cisco 7000 series chassis. The RSP7000CI isolates the CPU and system software from chassis-specific variations. The RSP7000CI has no user-configurable jumpers or switches, and its faceplates contains no LEDs. The RSP7000CI is distinguishable only by the label on its faceplate, which reads 7000 Chassis Interface.

You must install the RSP7000CI  in the appropriate chassis' 7000 CI slot. (See Figure 1 on page 2, for the Cisco 7000, or Figure 2 on page 3 for the Cisco 7010.) For the appropriate Cisco IOS version required for the RSP7000CI, refer to the section "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage".

The functions of the RSP7000CI are as follows:


Figure 3: RSP7000CI


Caution To prevent system problems, the RSP7000CI must not be removed with power on to the chassis. The RSP7000CI does not support online insertion and removal (OIR).

Prerequisites

Before you begin this installation, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.

Safety Guidelines

Following are safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

Telephone Wiring Guidelines

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

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. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Use a preventive antistatic strap whenever handling a processor module.

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

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

Software and Hardware Prerequisites

The RSP7000CI is compatible with any Cisco 7000 series routers that is operating with the following software and hardware:

The show version command displays the current hardware configuration of the router, including the Cisco IOS release that is currently loaded and running. The show controllers cbus command lists all CxBus interfaces installed in the system.

Caution To prevent system problems, the RSP7000CI must not be removed with power ON to the chassis. The RSP7000CI does not support online insertion and removal (OIR).

List of Tools and Parts

Following are the tools and equipment that you will need to complete this replacement:

Replacing the RSP7000CI

Following are the replacement procedures for replacing an RSP7000CI in your Cisco 7000 series router. You must turn off all system power before replacing the RSP7000CI.

Caution To prevent system problems, the RSP7000CI must not be removed with power ON to the chassis. The RSP7000CI does not support online insertion and removal (OIR).

Removing the RSP7000CI

Remove the existing RSP7000CI as follows:


Step 1   If you have not already done so, slip on an ESD-prevention grounding strap. (A disposable wrist strap is included with all spare boards.) Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unpainted surface on the chassis.

Step 2   Locate the RSP7000CI, which is installed in the 7000 CI slot (slot 6 in a Cisco 7000 and slot 4 in a Cisco 7010. (See Figure 1 or Figure 2.)

Figure 4 shows the orientation of the RSP7000CI for the Cisco 7000.


Figure 4: Card-Installation Orientation in the Cisco 7000


Figure 5 shows the orientation of the RSP7000CI for a Cisco 7010.


Figure 5: Card-Installation Orientation in the Cisco 7010


Step 3   Use a screwdriver (number 2 Phillips or 3/16-inch flat-blade) to loosen the two captive installation screws. (See Figure 6a.)


Note Figure 6 shows a typical processor module installation in a Cisco 7000, and is not intended to indicate or recommend a particular slot location for the RSP7000CI. The processor module slots in the Cisco 7010 are oriented horizontally (see Figure 2), but the function of the captive installation screws and ejector levers is identical.

Figure 6: Ejector Levers and Captive Installation Screw


Step 4   Place your thumbs on the ends of each of the ejectors and simultaneously pull them both outward, away from the carrier handle (in the opposite direction from that shown in Figure 6c) to release the carrier from the slot and to dislodge the RSP7000CI from the backplane.

Step 5   Grasp the handle with one hand and pull the RSP7000CI straight out of the slot (see Figure 6b), keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it.Keep the carrier parallel to the backplane. Avoid touching the board or any connector pins.

Step 6   Place the removed RSP7000CI on an antistatic mat or foam. If you plan to return the RSP7000CI to the factory, immediately place it in an antistatic bag to prevent ESD damage.

Proceed to the section "Installing the New RSP7000CI."

Installing the New RSP7000CI

Ensure that all system power is turned off before installing the RSP7000CI in the chassis. The RSP7000CI is keyed for installation only in the RSP7000CI slot (slot 6). (See Figure 1 on page 2.)

Follow these steps to install an RSP7000CI:


Step 1   Ensure that all power supplies are turned OFF.

Step 2   Grasp the RSP7000CI handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it into the slot. Avoid touching the board or any connectors.

Step 3   Place the back of the RSP7000CI in the 7000 CI slot (see Figure 1, on page 2, for the Cisco 7000 or Figure 2, on page 3, for the Cisco 7010) and align the notches along the edge of the carrier with the grooves in the slot. (See Figure 6a.)

Caution To prevent damage to the backplane, you must install the RSP7000CI in the 7000 CI slot of your Cisco 7000 series router. (See Figure 1 or Figure 2.) The slots are keyed for correct installation. Forcing the RSP7000CI into a different slot can damage the backplane and the RSP7000CI.

Step 4   While keeping the RSP7000CI parallel to the backplane, carefully slide the carrier into the 7000 CI slot until the RSP7000CI faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, then stop. (See Figure 6b.)

Step 5   Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand to pinch each ejector, simultaneously push both ejectors inward (toward the handle) until they parallel to the faceplate. (See Figure 6c.)

Step 6   Use a screwdriver (number 2 Phillips or 3/16-inch flat-blade) to tighten the captive installation screws on the ends of the RSP7000CI. (See Figure 6a.)

Tighten the two captive screws on the RSP7000CI faceplate to prevent the RSP7000CI from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane and to ensure proper EMI shielding. (These screws must be tightened to meet EMI specifications.)

Step 7   Ensure that the console terminal is connected to the console port on the RSP7000, and that the terminal is turned on.

Step 8   Turn the system power back ON, and proceed to the next section to check the installation.

Checking the Installation

Verify RSP700CI is installed in the chassis' 7000 CI slot (see Figure 1 on page 2 or Figure 2 on page 3), and that both of the captive installation screws are tightened.

Using the RSP7000CI and the temperature sensors on the RSP7000, the system displays warning messages on the console if chassis interface-monitored parameters exceed a desired threshold or if a blower failure occurs. You can retrieve and display environmental status reports with the show environment, show environment all, show environment last and show environment table commands. Parameters are measured and reporting functions are updated every 60 seconds. A brief description of each of these commands follows.

Use these show commands to indicate that the RSP7000CI installation was successful.

Caution To prevent overheating the chassis, ensure that your system is drawing cool inlet air. Overtemperature conditions can occur if the system is drawing in the exhaust air of other equipment. Ensure adequate clearance around the sides of the chassis so that cooling air can flow through the chassis interior unimpeded. Obstructing or blocking the chassis sides will restrict the airflow and can cause the internal chassis temperature to exceed acceptable limits.

The show environment command display reports the current environmental status of the system. The report displays parameters that are out of the normal values. No parameters are displayed if the system status is normal. The example that follows shows the display for a system in which all monitored parameters are within Normal range.

Following is sample output of the show env command:

Router# show env

 
All measured values are normal
 

If the environmental status is not normal, the system reports the worst-case status level in the last line of the display.

The show environment last command retrieves and displays the NVRAM log showing the reason for the last shutdown (if the shutdown was related to voltage or temperature) and the environmental status at that time. Air temperature is measured and displayed, and the DC voltages supplied by the power supply are also displayed. An example of the show env last command follows for both the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010:

RSP7000#sho env last

  CI(6) Inlet        previously measured at 22C/71F
    CI(6) Hotpoint     previously measured at 31C/87F
      CI(6) Exhaust      previously measured at 23C/73F
        +12 Voltage        previously measured at 12.12
          +5 Voltage         previously measured at 5.13
            -12 Voltage        previously measured at -11.84
              +24 Voltage        previously measured at 24.06
 
RSP7010#sho env last

  CI(4) Inlet        previously measured at 23C/73F
  CI(4) Hotpoint     previously measured at 35C/95F

  +12 Voltage        previously measured at 12.31
  +5 Voltage         previously measured at 5.17
  -12 Voltage        previously measured at -11.89
  +24 Voltage        previously measured at 23.78
 

The show environment table command displays the temperature and voltage thresholds for each of the three RSP7000 temperature sensors, for each monitored status level: low critical, low warning, high warning, and high critical. The slots in which the RSP7000 can be installed are indicated in parentheses (2 and 3). Also listed are the shutdown thresholds for the processor boards and power supplies. An example of the show env table command follows for both the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010:
