SIP Installation and Removal

Handling SIPs

Each SIP circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Before you begin installation, read Chapter 4, "Preparing to Install a SIP or a Shared Port Adapter," for a list of parts and tools required for installation.


Caution Always handle the SIP by the carrier edges; never touch the SIP components or connector pins. (See Figure 5-1.)

When a slot is not in use, a blank filler plate must be installed in the empty slot to allow the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the installed modules. If you plan to install a SIP in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove the two blank filler plates.


Caution The Cisco Wideband SIP and Cisco SIP-600 each weigh 10 lb. Use two hands when handling these SIPs.

Figure 5-1 Handling a SIP

Online Insertion and Removal

The Cisco uBR10012 router supports online insertion and removal (OIR) of the SPA interface processor (SIP) and of the shared port adapters (SPAs). Therefore, you can remove a SIP with its SPAs still intact, or you can remove a SPA independently from the SIP, leaving the SIP installed in the router.

This section includes the following topics on OIR support:

Preparing for Online Removal of a SIP

The Cisco uBR10012 router supports OIR of the SIP. To do this, you can power down a SIP (which automatically deactivates any installed SPAs) and remove the SIP with the SPAs still intact.

Although graceful deactivation of a SIP is preferred using the hw-module subslot shutdown command, the Cisco uBR10012 router does support removal of the SIP without deactivating it first. If you plan to remove a SIP, you can deactivate the SIP first, using the hw-module subslot shutdown global configuration command. When you deactivate a SIP using this command, it automatically deactivates each of the SPAs that are installed in that SIP. Therefore, it is not necessary to deactivate each of the SPAs prior to deactivating the SIP.

Either a blank filler plate or a functional SPA should reside in every bay (subslot) of a SIP during normal operation.

For more information about the recommended procedures for physical removal of the SIP, see the "SIP Installation and Removal" section.

Deactivating a SIP

To deactivate a SIP and its installed SPAs prior to removal of the SIP, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Router(config)# hw-module subslot slot/subslot shutdown

Deactivates the SIP in the specified slot, where:

slot—Specifies the slot where a SIP resides. On the Cisco uBR10012 router, slots 1 and 3 can be used for a SIP.

subslot—Specifies the subslot where a SIP resides. On the Cisco uBR10012 router, subslot 0 is always specified.


For more information about chassis slot numbering, refer to the "SIP and SPA Addressing Format" section on page 2-2.

Reactivating a SIP

Once you deactivate a SIP, whether or not you have performed an OIR, you must use the no hw-module subslot shutdown global configuration command to reactivate the SIP.

If you did not issue a command to deactivate the SPAs installed in a SIP, but you did deactivate the SIP using the hw-module subslot shutdown command, then you do not need to reactivate the SPAs after an OIR of the SIP. The installed SPAs automatically reactivate upon reactivation of the SIP in the router.

For example, consider the case where you remove a SIP from the router to replace it with another SIP. You reinstall the same SPAs into the new SIP. When you enter the no hw-module subslot shutdown command on the router, the SPAs will automatically reactivate with the new SIP.

To activate a SIP and its installed SPAs after the SIP has been deactivated, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Router(config)# no hw-module subslot slot/subslot shutdown

Activates the SIP in the specified slot and its installed SPAs, where:

slot—Specifies the slot where the SIP resides. On the Cisco uBR10012 router, slots 1 and 3 can be used for the Cisco Wideband SIP.

subslot—Specifies the subslot where the Cisco Wideband SIP resides. On the Cisco uBR10012 router, subslot 0 is always specified.


For more information about chassis slot numbering, refer to the "SIP and SPA Addressing Format" section on page 2-2.

Verifying Deactivation and Activation of a SIP

To verify the deactivation of a SIP, enter the show diag command in privileged EXEC configuration mode. When a SIP is powered down, the SIP no longer appears in the output of the show diag command or any other Cisco IOS command.

The following example shows how to deactivate and verify deactivation for the Cisco Wideband SIP located in slot 1, subslot 0. Notice that there is no output for the show diag command after the SIP is deactivated.

Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)# hw-module subslot 1/0 shutdown 
Router(config)#
00:44:02: %IPCOIR-3-TIMEOUT: Timeout waiting for a response from slot 1/0.

Preparing for Online Removal of a SPA

The Cisco uBR10012 router supports OIR of a SPA independently of removing the SIP. This means that a SIP can remain installed in the router with one SPA remaining active, while you remove another SPA from one of the SIP subslots. If you are not planning to immediately replace a SPA into the SIP, then be sure to install a blank filler plate in the subslot. The SIP should always be fully installed with either functional SPAs or blank filler plates.

The interface configuration is retained (recalled) if a SIP or SPA is removed and then replaced with one of the same type.

If you are planning to remove a SIP along with its SPAs, then you do not need to follow the instructions in this section. To remove a SIP, see the "Preparing for Online Removal of a SIP" section.

Deactivating a SPA

Although graceful deactivation of a SPA is preferred using the hw-module bay shutdown command, the Cisco uBR10012 router supports removal of a SPA without deactivating it first. Before deactivating a SPA, ensure that the SIP is seated securely into the slot before pulling out the SPA itself.


Note If you are preparing for an OIR of a Cisco Wideband SPA, there are no standard interfaces to be shut down prior to deactivation of the SPA. The hw-module bay shutdown command automatically stops traffic on the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and deactivates them along with the SPA in preparation for OIR. In similar fashion, you do not need to independently restart any Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on a Cisco Wideband SPA after OIR of the Cisco Wideband SPA or Cisco Wideband SIP.


To deactivate a SPA and all of its interfaces prior to removal of the SPA, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(33)SCA and 12.3BC

Router(config)#  hw-module bay slot/subslot/bay shutdown unpowered

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB

Router(config)# hw-module bay slot/bay shutdown unpowered

Deactivates the specified SPA, where:

slot—Specifies the slot where the SIP resides. On the Cisco uBR10012 router, slots 1 and 3 are used for a SIP.

subslot—Specifies the subslot where the Cisco Wideband SIP resides (Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(33)SCA and 12.3BC). On the Cisco uBR10012 router, subslot 0 is always specified.

bay —Specifies the SIP subslot where a SPA resides . Valid values are 0 (upper bay) and 1 (lower bay).

unpowered—Shuts down the SPA and all of its interfaces, and leaves them in an administratively down state without power.


For more information about chassis slot and SIP subslot numbering, refer to the "SIP and SPA Addressing Format" section on page 2-2 in this guide.

Reactivating a SPA


Note You do not need to reactivate a SPA after an OIR of either the SIP or a SPA if you did not deactivate the SPA prior to removal. If the router is running, then the SPAs automatically start upon insertion into the SIP or with insertion of a SIP into the router.


If you deactivate a SPA using the hw-module bay shutdown global configuration command and need to reactivate it without performing an OIR, you need to use the no hw-module bay shutdown global configuration command to reactivate the SPA and its interfaces.

To activate a SPA and its interfaces after the SPA has been deactivated, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(33)SCA and 12.3BC

Router(config)#  no hw-module bay slot/subslot/bay shutdown

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB

Router(config)#  no hw-module bay slot/bay shutdown

Activates the SPA and its interfaces in the specified slot and subslot of the SIP, where:

slot—Specifies the slot where the SIP resides. On the Cisco uBR10012 router, slots 1 and 3 are used for a SIP.

subslot—Specifies the subslot where the Cisco Wideband SIP resides (Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(33)SCA and 12.3BC). On the Cisco uBR10012 router, subslot 0 is always specified.

bay—Specifies the SIP subslot where a SPA resides . Valid values are 0 (upper bay) and 1 (lower bay).


Verifying Deactivation and Activation of a SPA

To verify the deactivation of a Wideband SPA, enter the show hw-module bay oir command in privileged EXEC configuration mode, and look at the Operational Status of the SPA. The following example shows how to deactivate and verify deactivation for the Cisco Wideband SPA located in slot 1, subslot 0, bay 0. In the output of the show hw-module bay oir command, notice "admin down" in the Operational Status field.

Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)# hw-module bay 1/0/0 shutdown unpowered

SIP Installation and Removal

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing and removing a SIP.

SIP Installation

Before installing a SIP, ensure that you remove any existing line card configuration from the slots that the SIP will occupy.

To install a SIP, do the following:


Warning When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the SIP. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly touch the midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.



Step 1 Attach a grounding wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.


Caution A SIP weighs 10 lb (4.54 kg). Use two hands when handling the SIP.

Step 2 Grasp the faceplate of the SIP with one hand and place your other hand under the SIP (to support the weight of the SIP) and position the SIP in front of the appropriate card cage slot.


Note The SIP ejector levers must be positioned in the open position as shown in Figure 5-2 before the SIP makes contact with the backplane.


Step 3 Carefully align the upper and lower guides on the SIP with the upper and lower guides in the chassis and slide the SIP into the module slot until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors.

Step 4 Simultaneously pivot both SIP ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to firmly seat the SIP in the router backplane. See Figure 5-2.

Figure 5-2 Closing the Ejector Levers


Note When the router chassis is fully populated, seating a SIP can be difficult. To properly seat the SIP and avoid physical damage, loosen the captive screws on the neighboring SIPs or line cards.



Caution Use of excessive force can damage the router or SIP.

Step 5 Tighten the top and bottom captive screws on the SIP to secure it in the chassis (see Figure 5-3 for the location of the captive screws).

Step 6 If needed, install the SPAs. See the "Installing a SPA in a SIP" section on page 6-2.

Step 7 Install the interface cables. We recommend that you clean the fiber-optic connections before attaching the cables. Refer to the Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections document.


SIP Removal


Tip To prevent alarms from activating, you can administratively shut down a SIP before hot-swapping it. Otherwise, inform the network administrator that this portion of the network will be temporarily interrupted.


To remove a SIP, do the following:


Warning When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the SIP. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly touch the midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.



Step 1 Attach a grounding wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.

Step 2 Face the back of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. Clear aside enough interface cables and power cables to allow sufficient space to work.

Step 3 Identify the SIP to be removed and unplug the interface cables connected to the SIP. Be sure to note the current connections of the cables to the ports on the SPAs installed in the SIP.

Step 4 Unscrew the top and bottom captive screws on the SIP (see Figure 5-3).

Figure 5-3 Captive Screws

Captive screws


Step 5 Simultaneously pivot both SIP ejector levers away from each other to disengage the SIP from the backplane, as shown in Figure 5-4.

Figure 5-4 Opening the Ejector Levers


Caution A SIP weighs 10 lb (4.54 kg). Use two hands when handling the SIP.

Step 6 Touching only the metal card carrier, slide the SIP out of the slot, as shown in Figure 5-5. Place the SIP on an antistatic surface, or in an antistatic bag.

Figure 5-5 Removing the SIP

Step 7 If you are not installing a new or replacement SIP, install blank filler plates to cover the slots and tighten the captive screws on the blank filler plates.


Warning Blank faceplates (filler 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 and faceplates are in place. Statement 1029
