Module Description

The ATM-fabric integration module, shown in , seamlessly integrates the switching fabrics of a Catalyst 5500 switch and a LightStream 1010 ATM switch installed in the bottom slots of the Catalyst 5500 chassis. The module must be installed in slots 9 through 12 of the Catalyst 5500 switch chassis to bridge the two backplanes.

The module consists of one external LightStream 1010 OC-12 ATM interface and one internal interface that bridges the Catalyst 5500 and the LightStream 1010 switching backplanes. The external OC-12 ATM interface behaves exactly as any OC-12 interface on a LightStream 1010 port adapter.

Communication between the Catalyst 5000 series switch backplane and the LightStream 1010 ATM switch backplane occurs across the internal interface. The internal interface has bandwidth equivalent to OC-12 (however, there is no physical cabling and no SONET framing is used). You can apply configuration commands to the interface from both the ATM module command-line interface (CLI) and the LightStream 1010 CLI.

With an ATM-fabric integration module installed in slots 9 through 12 of the Catalyst 5500 chassis and a LightStream ATM switch processor (ASP) installed in slot 13, you can install LightStream 1010 port adapters in any remaining slots 9 through 12.

Safety Recommendations

Safety warnings appear throughout this note in procedures that, if performed incorrectly, may harm you. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.

Warning   

This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the appendix "Translated Safety Warnings" in the Catalyst 5000 Series Module Installation Guide.

Ensuring Safety

Use the following guidelines to ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list does not include all potentially hazardous situations during installation, so be alert.

Note   Power supplies in the Catalyst 5002 switch do not have on/off switches.

Warning   

Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace this equipment.

•Always turn all power supplies off (the position marker zero), and unplug all power cords before installing or removing a chassis.

•Keep the chassis area clear and free of dust during and after installation.

•Keep tools and chassis components off the floor and away from foot traffic.

•Avoid wearing jewelry and securely fasten any loose clothing that could get caught in the chassis.

Warning   

Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Warning   

Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Following Basic Electrical Safety Guidelines

When working with electrical equipment, exercise these basic safety guidelines:

•Never install equipment that appears to be damaged.

•Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working before beginning any procedures that require access to the chassis interior.

•Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a chassis.

•Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

•Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

•Examine your work area carefully for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Warning   

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Following Telephone Wiring and Network Cabling Safety Rules

Use the following safety rules when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source but still connected to telephone wiring or other network cabling:

•Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

•Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic boards or components are improperly handled. ESD can result in complete or intermittent failures of electronic components. Guidelines for preventing ESD damage are as follows:

•Always use an antistatic wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

•If you use the wrist strap with an alligator clip, connect the alligator clip to one of the captive installation screws on the chassis, an installed module, or a power supply. If you use the wrist strap with a banana-plug connector, insert the banana-plug connector into the grounding receptacle on the rear of the chassis.

•Handle supervisor engine modules and switching modules by the metal carrier edges and handles only; the metal carriers have electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Never touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.

•After removing a module, place it component-side up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If you plan to return the module to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.

•Avoid contact between the modules and clothing; the wrist strap protects the module from ESD voltages on the body, but ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

•Handle modules without metal carriers by the edges only.

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

Installation

All Catalyst 5000 series switches support hot swapping, which lets you install, remove, replace, and rearrange switching modules without turning off the system power. When the system detects that a switching module has been installed or removed, it runs diagnostic and discovery routines automatically, acknowledges the presence or absence of the module, and resumes system operation with no operator intervention.

Warning   

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

Tools Required

You need a flat-blade screwdriver to remove any filler (blank) switching modules and to tighten the captive installation screws that secure the modules in their slots. Whenever you handle switching modules, you should use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent ESD damage. See the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section.

ATM-Fabric Integration Module Installation

Note   This publication does not describe how to install the LightStream 1010 ATM switch processor (ASP) or LightStream 1010 carrier modules and port adapters. For complete information on installing the LightStream 1010 ASP, refer to the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch ASP Installation Guide. For complete information on installing the LightStream 1010 carrier modules and port adapters, refer to the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch PAM Installation Guide.

All Catalyst 5000 series switching modules, including the ATM-fabric integration module, are installed in horizontal slots that are numbered from top to bottom. shows module placement in the Catalyst 5500 chassis. The fabric integration module must be installed in slots 9 through 12.

Figure 3 Catalyst 5500 Switch: Module Placement

To install an ATM-fabric integration module in a Catalyst 5500 series switch, perform these steps:

Caution   
To prevent ESD damage, handle switching modules by the carrier edges only.

Step 1 Take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage, as described in the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section.

Step 2 Choose a slot for the new switching module. Ensure that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the fabric integration module ports. If possible, place switching modules between empty slots that contain only switching-module filler plates.

Note   The ATM-fabric integration module must be installed in slots 9 through 12 of the Catalyst 5500 chassis. Additionally, a LightStream 1010 ASP must be installed in slot 13.

Step 3 Loosen the captive installation screws securing the switching-module filler plate (or the existing switching module) to the desired slot.

Step 4 Remove the switching-module filler plate (or the existing switching module). Save the switching-module filler plate for future use.

Note   If you are removing an existing switching module, place one hand carefully under the carrier to support the switching module as you slide it out of the chassis. Place the removed module in an antistatic bag or on an antistatic surface.

Step 5 To install the new module, hold the switching-module handle with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier to support the switching module, as shown in . Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.

Step 6 Align the edges of the switching module carrier with the slot guides on the sides of the switch chassis, as shown in .

Figure 4 Installing the Module in the Chassis

Step 7 Pivot the two module ejector levers out away from the faceplate as shown in .

Step 8 Carefully slide the fabric integration module into the slot until the notches on both ejector levers engage the chassis sides.

Step 9 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously, pivot in both ejector levers, as shown in , to fully seat the module in the backplane connector.

Figure 5 Module Ejector Lever Operation

Caution   
Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing modules. A module that is partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to halt and subsequently crash.

Step 10 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on each end of the module faceplate.

Step 11 Attach network interface cables or other devices to the interface ports.
