4-port OC-12c/STM-4c ISE and 4-port OC-3c/STM-1 ISE ATM Line Card Overview

The 4-port ISE ATM line cards provide the Cisco 12000 series routers with an ATM line card that offers the IP services engine or Engine 3 features, including extensive traffic queuing, shaping, and congestion management features, at a sustained full duplex throughput of 5.66 million cells per second (4-port OC-12c/STM-4c ISE ATM line card) or 1.41 million cells per second (4-port OC-3c/STM-1 ISE ATM line card). The 4-port ISE ATM line card is available with either OC-12c/STM-4c or OC-3c/STM-1 interfaces. Except for the speed of the interfaces, these line cards provide identical functionality, and are referred to throughout this document as the 4-port ISE ATM line cards.

The 4-port ISE ATM line card delivers a robust set of edge packet processing features such as ACL, ExACL, CAR, NetFlow, and Multicast with incorporated MDRR, WRED and backpressure congestion avoidance mechanism. This line card brings enhanced Layer 3 processing and high bandwidth ATM capabilities to the Cisco 12000 series router.

In addition, the 4-port ISE ATM line cards provide Layer 2 AToM tunneling with cell relay and cell packing on VCs, VPs, and interfaces; ATM traffic shaping and policing; and Layer 2 and Layer 3 configurations on the same port.

The line cards consist of two boards: a generic IP services engine motherboard that contains the Engine 3 chip set and fabric interface and a physical layer interface module (PLIM)-specific card providing the four optic interfaces.

Preparing for Installation

Before you begin the installation process, review the important information in the following sections:

•Safety Guidelines

•Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

•Required Tools and Equipment

Safety Guidelines

Before you perform any procedure in this publication, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.

The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. The guidelines do not include all hazards. Be alert.

Note Review the safety warnings listed in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router publication (Document Number 78-4347-xx) that accompanied your router before installing, configuring, or maintaining a line card.

•Keep the work area clear and dust free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris to enter into any laser-based components.

•Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that could get caught in the router while working with line cards.

•Cisco equipment operates safely when it is used in accordance with its specifications and product usage instructions.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

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 is an integral component of the line card. Cisco recommends using an ESD-preventive strap whenever you are handling network equipment or one of its components.

The following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

•Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Connect the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD connection socket on the router or to bare metal on the chassis.

•Handle ATM line cards by the captive installation screws, the provided handle, ejector levers, or the line card metal carrier only; avoid touching the board or connector pins.

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

•Avoid contact between the ATM line cards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the board from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

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

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and parts to remove and install ATM line cards:

•Flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver

•ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and instructions

•Interface cables to connect the ATM line card with another router or switch

See the "Fiber-Optic Network Interface Cables" section for cable details.

Removing and Installing a Line Card

This section describes the procedures for removing and installing a line card and includes the following sections:

•Guidelines for Line Card Removal and Installation

•Removing a Line Card

•Removing the Blank Filler

•Installing a Blank Filler

•Installing a Line Card

Note The installation and removal procedure for the ATM line card is different for the Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 routers than for the other Cisco 12000 series routers. Make sure you refer to the procedure that corresponds to your router chassis.

Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, remove or insert only one line card at a time. After inserting or removing a line card, allow at least 15 seconds before removing or inserting another line card, so that the router can reinitialize and note the current configuration of all interfaces.
After removing and inserting a line card into the same slot, allow at least 60 seconds before removing or inserting another line card.

Guidelines for Line Card Removal and Installation

Guidelines for line card removal and installation include the following:

•Online insertion and removal (OIR) is supported, enabling you to remove and install line cards while the router is operating. OIR is seamless to users on the network, maintains all routing information, and ensures session preservation.

Note With OIR, notifying the software or resetting the power is not required. However, you have the option of using the shutdown command before removing a line card.

•After you reinstall a line card, the router automatically downloads the necessary software from the route processor (RP). Next, the router brings online only those interfaces that match the current configuration and were previously configured as administratively up. You must configure all others with the configure command.

Caution The router may indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or insert only one line card at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the router to complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another line card.

After removing and inserting a line card into the same slot, allow at least 60 seconds before removing or inserting another line card.

•Line cards have two ejector levers to release the card from its backplane connector. Use the levers when you are removing the line card and to seat the line card firmly in its backplane connector when you are installing the line card. The ejector levers align and seat the card connectors in the backplane.

Caution When you remove a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the connector pins disconnect from the backplane in the sequence expected by the router. Any card that is only partially connected to the backplane can halt the router.

When you install a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the card is correctly aligned with the backplane connector; the connector pins should make contact with the backplane in the correct order, indicating that the card is fully seated in the backplane. If a card is only partially seated in the backplane, the router will hang and subsequently crash.

•The 4-port ISE ATM line card requires two slots when installed into a Cisco 12008 or Cisco 12012 Router. Before installing the line card, you must install the blank filler (part number: 4OC12X/ATM-BLANK) into the rightmost of the two slots. For detailed instructions, see the "Installing a Blank Filler" section.

For line card configuration information, see the "Configuring and Troubleshooting Interfaces" section.

Removing a Line Card

If you are replacing a failed line card, remove the existing line card first, then install the new line card in the same slot. To remove a line card, use Figure 6 as a reference and follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step 2 Disconnect and remove all interface cables from the ports; note the current connections of the cables to the ports on the line card.

Step 3 Detach the line card cable-management bracket from the line card.

Step 4 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive screw at each end of the line card faceplate. (See Figure 6a.)

Figure 6 Line Card Removal and Installation

Caution When you remove a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the line card connector pins disconnect from the backplane in the logical sequence expected by the router. Any line card that is only partially connected to the backplane can halt the router.

Step 5 Simultaneously pivot the ejector levers away from each other to release the line card from the backplane connector. (See Figure 6b.)

Step 6 Grasp the ejector levers and pull the line card halfway out of the slot.

Step 7 Grasp the line card and gently pull it straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the line card to guide it. (See Figure 6c.) Avoid touching the line card printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.

Step 8 Place the removed line card on an antistatic mat, or immediately place it in an antistatic bag if you plan to return it to the factory.

Step 9 If the line card slot is to remain empty, install a line card blank (Product Number MAS-GSR-BLANK) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the line card compartment. Secure the line card blank to the chassis by tightening its captive screws.

Note If you are removing a 4-port ISE ATM line card from a Cisco 12008 or Cisco 12012 Router chassis, you must also remove the blank filler that accompanies the ATM line card. See the "Removing the Blank Filler" section.

Note When removing the 4-port ISE ATM line card, take into account that it weighs approximately 13.2 lb (6 kg).

Removing the Blank Filler

This procedure only applies to 4-port ISE ATM line cards in Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 routers.

Because the 4-port ISE ATM line card is wider than the line card slots in the Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 Routers, the line card uses the space of two slots. The blank filler (part number: 4OC12X/ATM-BLANK) is used to fill the remaining area not used in the second slot, thereby providing proper ventilation for the line card and protecting the chassis and line card from damage.

The blank filler is removed after the ATM line card has been removed.

Caution Do not attempt to remove the blank filler before completely removing the ATM line card from the chassis. (See the "Removing a Line Card" section for more information.) You must remove the blank filler from the chassis before you can install any other line cards into the slot besides the ATM line card.

To remove the blank filler, follow these steps:

Step 1 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive screw at each end of the blank filler faceplate.

Step 2 Grasp the blank filler faceplate with one hand and pull the blank filler straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the blank filler to guide it.

This completes the procedure for removing the blank filler. The router slot can now be used to install any line card.

Installing a Blank Filler

This procedure only applies to 4-port ISE ATM line cards in Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 routers.

Because the 4-port ISE ATM line card is wider than the line card slots in the Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 routers, the 4-port ISE ATM line card uses the space of two line card slots. The blank filler is used to fill the remaining area not used in the second slot, thereby providing proper ventilation for the line card and protecting the chassis and line card from damage.

The ATM line card can be installed into any available pair of slots in the Cisco 12008 or Cisco 12012 router. The blank filler is installed into the rightmost slot of the pair to be used by the line card.

Caution You must install a blank filler before installing a ATM line card in a Cisco 12008 or Cisco 12012 router.

To install a blank filler, follow these steps:

Step 1 Choose an available pair of slots for the line card, and verify that the fiber-optic interface cables for the line card are long enough for you to reach the line card ports and connect the line card to any external equipment.

Step 2 Grasp the faceplate of the blank filler with one hand and place your other hand under the blank filler; position the card for insertion into the rightmost card cage slot of the pair of slots to be used by the ATM line card.

Figure 7 Inserting and Removing the Blank Filler

Step 3 Carefully slide the blank filler into the slot, making sure that the runners on the top and bottom of the blank filler are positioned within the card cage slot runners.

Step 4 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive screw on each end of the blank filler faceplate to ensure proper EMI shielding and to provide proper ventilation for the ATM line card. These screws must be tightened to meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) specifications. (See Figure 8.)

To ensure that there is adequate space for the ATM line card, tighten the captive installation screws on the blank filler before you insert the line card.

Caution Use the captive screws to prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding and EMI shielding for the router.

Figure 8 Fastening Captive Screw on Blank Filler

Installing a Line Card

A line card slides into almost any available line card slot and connects directly to the backplane. If you install a new line card, you must first remove the line card blank from the available slot.

Note Refer to the installation and configuration guide for your router for information on line card slot types, slot width, and slot location.

Note In Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 Routers, the 4-port ATM ISE line card uses a pair of line card slots. You must install the blank filler into the rightmost slot of the pair before you can install the 4-port ATM ISE line card.

Caution The router may indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or insert only one line card at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the router to complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another line card.

To install a line card, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step 2 Choose an available line card slot for the line card, and verify that the line card interface cable is long enough for you to connect the line card with any external equipment.

Note If you are installing a 4-port ATM ISE line card into a Cisco 12008 or Cisco 12012 Router, you must install the line card into the slot to the left of the blank filler.

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle line cards by the captive installation screws, the provided handle, ejector levers, or the card carrier edges only. Do not touch any of the electrical components or circuitry.

Step 3 Grasp the faceplate (or handle) of the line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier to support the weight of the card; position the card for insertion into the card cage slot. Avoid touching the line card printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.

Step 4 Carefully slide the line card into the slot until the ejector levers make contact with the edges of the card cage, then stop when the ejector lever hooks catch the lip of the card cage. If they do not catch, try reinserting the line card until the ejector lever hooks are fully latched. (See Figure 9.)

Figure 9 Ejector Levers

Caution When you install a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the card is correctly aligned with the backplane connector, the card connector pins make contact with the backplane in the correct order, and the card is fully seated in the backplane. A card that is only partially seated in the backplane can cause the router to hang and subsequently crash.

Step 5 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other until they are perpendicular to the line card faceplate. This action firmly seats the card in the backplane.

Step 6 Use a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the captive screw on each end of the line card faceplate to ensure proper EMI shielding and to prevent the line card from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane.

Caution To ensure adequate space for additional line cards, always tighten the captive installation screws on each newly installed line card before you insert any additional line cards. These screws also prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding and EMI shielding for the router.

Step 7 Install the cable-management bracket.

Step 8 Install the interface cables.

Note For information on installing cable-management brackets, see the "Installing a Line Card Cable-Management Bracket" section.

For information on installing interface cables, see the "Cabling and Specifications" section.

For information on installing a blank filler before installing the 4-port ISE ATM line card, see the "Installing a Blank Filler" section.

When the 4-port ISE ATM line card is installed in a Cisco 12008 or Cisco 12012 router together with the blank filler, it will appear as in Figure 10.

Line Card Cable-Management Bracket

Note The illustrations in this section show various line cards, but the line card cable-management bracket installation procedure is the same regardless of the specific line card.

Cisco 12000 Series Routers include a cable-management system that organizes the interface cables entering and exiting the router, keeping them out of the way and free of sharp bends.

Caution Excessive bending of interface cables can damage the cables.

The cable-management system consists of two separate components:

1. A cable-management tray that is mounted on the chassis. Refer to the appropriate Cisco 12000 Series Router installation and configuration guide for more information on the cable-management tray.

2. A cable-management bracket that attaches to a line card.

This section describes the line card cable-management bracket. Figure 11 shows the single-port line card cable-management bracket; Figure 12 shows the multiport line card cable-management bracket.

Figure 11 Single-Port Line Card Cable-Management Bracket

Figure 12 Multiport Line Card Cable-Management Bracket

Note When shipped with spare line card orders, the cable-management bracket is not attached to the line card. You must attach the cable-management bracket to the line card before you insert the line card into the router.

Caution Do not use the cable-management bracket as a handle to pull out or push in the line card. The cable-management bracket is designed to hold the interface cables and may break if you use the bracket to push, pull, or carry the line card after it is removed from the router.

Removing and installing the line card cable-management bracket is described in the following procedures:

ATM Line Card Power Budget and Signal Specifications

The 4-port ISE ATM line card uses both single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cable. Signals can travel farther through single-mode fiber than through multimode fiber. The maximum distance for installations is determined by the amount of light loss in the fiber path. If your environment requires the light to travel close to the typical maximum distances, you should use an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) to measure the power loss.

Fiber-Optic Network Interface Cables

The ATM line cards have SC-type fiber-optic interface connectors. Use a multimode or single-mode fiber-optic interface cable, as appropriate, to connect the fiber-optic interfaces in the ATM line card in your Cisco 12000 series router to another router or switch. In general, multimode cables are gray or orange, and single-mode cables are yellow.

Note Single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cables are available from cable vendors. These cables are not available from Cisco Systems. The plug on the cable may be supplied with a dust cover. If it is, remove it before trying to connect it to the line card port.

You can use either one duplex SC-type connector (Figure 15) or two simplex SC-type connectors (Figure 16).

Figure 15 Duplex SC Cable Connector

Figure 16 Simplex SC Cable Connector

Attach either one duplex fiber cable or two simplex fiber cables per port between the line card and the device to which the line card is connected. Observe the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) cable relationship shown in Figure 17.

Note Note the location of the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) receptacles on the port, as these are not the same as on many other Cisco 12000 series router line cards.

Duplex or simplex SC fiber cable connectors

Note The fiber-optic connectors must be free of dust, oil, or other contaminants. Before connecting the cable to the line card, carefully clean the fiber-optic connectors using an alcohol wipe or other suitable cleanser.

Warning Because invisible radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into open apertures.

Warning Class 1 laser product.

Warning Class 1 LED product.

Verifying and Troubleshooting Line Card Installation

The following sections describe how to verify and troubleshoot line card installation:

•Initial Boot Process

•Status LEDs

•Alphanumeric LEDs

•Troubleshooting the Installation

Initial Boot Process

During a typical line card boot process, the following events occur:

1. The line card maintenance bus (MBus) module receives power and begins executing the MBus software.

2. The line card MBus module determines the type of card on which it resides, performs internal checks, and prepares to accept the Cisco IOS software from the RP.

3. The RP powers up the line card and loads the line card with its Cisco IOS software.

To verify that the line card is working properly, perform the following operational checks:

•During the line card boot process, observe the line card display LEDs to ensure that the card is running the typical initialization sequence. The sequence should end with IOS RUN.

•Observe the line card status LEDs to verify that the Active LED is on. If an Active LED is not on, verify that the associated interface is not shut down.

If one of these conditions is not met, refer to the "Advanced Line Card Troubleshooting" section to identify any possible problems.

Status LEDs

Each 4-port ISE ATM line card provides the following two types of LEDs (see Figure 5) for monitoring the operating status of the line card:

•Status LEDs - 3 lines grouped next to each port on the line card:

–Active

–Carrier

–RX Cell

•Display (alphanumeric) LEDs - 2 lines, 4-digit alphanumeric (see the "Alphanumeric LEDs" section).

The status LEDs are described in Table 10.

Table 10 Status LEDs

LED

State

Description

Active

On

Interface is configured/active.

Off

Interface is inactive.

RX Cell

Off

No incoming cells.

Carrier

On

SONET framer has detected an inframe condition that has persisted for a minimum of 3 msec.

Blink

Remote line RDI received.

Off

LOS, LOF, or LAIS detected.

The RX Cell LED flashes when data is being received.

The status LEDs on the line card might not go on until you configure the line card interfaces (or turned them on if they were shut down). To verify correct operation of each interface, complete the configuration procedures for the line card (see the "Configuring and Troubleshooting Interfaces" section).

Alphanumeric LEDs

ATM line cards have two four-digit alphanumeric LED displays at one end of the faceplate, near the ejector lever, that display a sequence of messages indicating the state of the card. In general, the LEDs do not turn on until the RP recognizes and powers up the card. As it boots, the line card displays a sequence of messages similar to those in Table 11.

Note It is normal for some displayed messages to appear too briefly to be read. Also, some messages listed in Table 11 and Table 12 may not appear on your line card.
