 |
Note Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 17.00 inches (43.18 cm). The height of the chassis is 5.25 inches (13.34 cm). |
Step 2 Make sure the rack brakes are locked or the rack is stabilized.
Step 3 With the router front closest to you, lift it carefully into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid any sudden twists or moves.
Step 4 Slide the chassis into the rack, until the brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.
Step 5 Keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the holes on the rack or mounting strip .
Step 6 For each bracket, insert and tighten three 10-32 x 3/8-inch slotted binderhead screws, using the top, bottom, and one other location on the bracket.
|
Note The grounding lug and Phillips screws are not available from Cisco Systems. Get the grounding lug from an electrical-connector vendor and the screws from a hardware vendor. See Page 4 for the parts needed. |
Step 2 Insert the two screws (3) through the holes in the grounding lug (2).
Step 3 Ensure that the grounding lug does not interfere with other router hardware, such as power supplies or the network processing engine (NPE) or network services engine (NSE).
Step 4 Use the Number 2 Phillips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly to the chassis. Do not overtighten the screws.
Step 5 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the 6-AWG wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
Step 6 Insert the 6-AWG wire (4) into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
Step 7 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper mechanical connection.
Step 8 Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate chassis ground.
|
|
Note Both the console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission. |
Step 2 Use an EIA/TIA-232 DCE console cable to connect the terminal to the console port. After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
|
Note You must supply your own interface cable between the auxiliary port and the equipment you are connecting. For console and auxiliary port pinouts, see the online Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide, Chapter 3, "Console Port Signals and Auxiliary Port Signals." |
|
Note When connecting to an auxiliary port on a Cisco 7200 VXR router, the port will not function at baud rates higher than 19.2kb. If the baud rate on the connecting device is set higher than 19.2kb, garbled text or nothing will be displayed on the screen. |
Depending on the I/O controller installed in your Cisco 7200 VXR router, you may have a Gigabit Ethernet port, RJ-45 ports, or no Ethernet port. The following table provides information about the types of ports on different I/O controller models.
Table 1 I/O Controller Port Information
|
I/O controllers have the possibility of one or two of three types of Ethernet connections: MII connections and RJ-45 connections for 10/100-Mbps operation, and a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) connection for 1000-Mbps operation. For more information about Ethernet ports, see the online Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide.
|
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. |
To identify the RJ-45 cable type, hold the two ends of the cable next to each other so you can see the colored wires inside the ends. The straight-through wire type has colored wires in the same sequence at both ends.
In the crossover wire type, the first colored wire at the far left is the third colored wire at the other end. The second colored wire at the far left is the sixth colored wire at the other end.
Attach any RJ-45 Ethernet cables to the appropriate connector.
For more information on cables, specifications, or product numbers, see the Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide.
|
Note All GBIC ports have SC-type connectors. |
After you install the GBIC in your Gigabit Ethernet device, you must attach the cables to the GBIC. Optical fiber cables are commercially available; they are not available from Cisco Systems.
|
Note The 1000BASEZX GBIC provides an optical power budget of 21.5 dB. Measure your cable plant with an optical loss test set to verify that the optical loss of the cable plant (including connectors and splices) is less than or equal to 21.5 dB. The optical loss measurement must be performed with a 1550-nm light source. |
Attach the appropriate optical fiber cable directly to the SC-type receptacle on the GBIC. You can use either simplex or duplex connectors for most devices.
 |
Caution If you plan to use a WS-G5486 or GBIC-LX/LH at distances greater than 984.25 feet (300 meters) over 50/125-micron or 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber, you must use the mode-conditioning patch cord to prevent data transmission problems. |
A mode-conditioning patch cord can be used with the WS-G5486 or GBIC-LX/LH to allow reliable laser transmission between the single-mode laser source on the GBIC and a multimode optical fiber cable. To use the mode-conditioning patch cord, follow these steps:
Step 2 Attach the network ends (beige/beige) of your patch cord to the appropriate 1000BASEX equipment in your building cable plant.
|
Note Ensure that you connect the TX and RX ports on one end of the patch cord to the RX and TX ports (respectively) on the other end. Connect TX to RX and RX to TX. |
The instructions for connecting the cables for each port adapter installed in the Cisco 7200 VXR routers are in the respective online note for each port adapter. The documents are available on the Documentation CD-ROM and on Cisco.com. Reference them from the C isco 7200 Series Routers Port Adapter Documentation Master Index at: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/7200vx/ol3530.htm
|
Warning This unit might have more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the two power supply cords before servicing the unit. |
|
Warning The AC power supply has double pole/neutral fusing. |
|
Note When powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again. |
Step 2 Slide the cable-retention clip (4) up, away from the AC port, and plug in the power cable (2).
Step 3 If you are installing the adjustable powercable-retention clip shown in Figure 14, follow these steps:
a. Remove the retention-clip wire and replace it with the new cable-retention clip wire.
b. Insert the plastic portion of the clip, and adjust it to the desired length.
Step 4 Secure the cable in the power supply AC port by sliding the cable-retention clip down until it fits around the connector. The cable-retention clip provides strain relief for the AC power cable.
Step 5 If you require additional AC power cable strain relief, secure the cable to the power supply handle by inserting a nylon cable tie through the hole (5) in the handle and around the cable.
Step 6 Plug the AC power supply cable into the AC power source. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for the second power supply (if present).
|
Note The color coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power source at your site. Typically, green or green/yellow is used for ground. Make certain the lead color coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches lead color coding used at the DC power source. |
|
Warning When you install the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. |
Step 2 Ensure that the -V and +V leads are disconnected from the power source.
Step 3 Using a wire stripper, strip approximately 0.55 inch (14 mm) from the -V, +V, and ground leads (2).
Step 4 Insert the stripped end of the ground lead (1) all the way into the ground lead receptacle on the DC-input power supply, and tighten the receptacle screw using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver.
Step 5 Insert the stripped end of the +V lead all the way into the +V lead receptacle and tighten the receptacle screw using the same 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver. Repeat this step for the -V lead.
|
Note Make sure the entire stripped end of each lead is inserted all the way into its receptacle. If any exposed wire at the stripped end of a lead is visible after inserting the lead into its receptacle, remove the lead from the receptacle, use the wire stripper to cut the stripped end of the lead, and repeat Step 3 through Step 5. |
Step 6 Use a cable tie to secure the leads to the power supply.
When securing the ground, +V, and -V DC-input leads to the power supply faceplate, leave a small service loop in the ground lead to ensure that the ground lead is the last lead to disconnect from the power supply if a great deal of strain is placed on all three leads.
Step 7 Connect the ground, +V, and -V leads to the power source.
Following is some important NPE-G1 information that you need to know before you power on the router:
|
Note The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the NPE-G1 do not support the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) VLAN encapsulation protocol. We recommend that you use the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation protocol as an alternative. Where an application requires the use of ISL, this can be provided by the Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet port adapters or I/O controllers. |
Step 2 Check that a CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, or PC Card or Flash memory card is installed.
Step 3 Check that the console terminal is turned on.
|
Caution If you have just installed an NPE-G1 in place of an older NPE, you must save your configuration to a Flash Disk, PC Card, Flash memory card, or TFTP server before you power on the router with the new NPE-G1 installed, or you will lose your configuration. For instructions on copying and saving your configuration file, see the online Network Processing Engine and Network Services Engine Installation and Configuration document, Chapter 6, "Copying the Configuration File." |
Step 4 Place the power switch in the on (|) position. Repeat this action if there is a second power supply.
Step 5 Listen for the fans; they should be operating as soon as power is turned on.
Step 6 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The power LED on the I/O controller comes on immediately. Port adapter LEDs go on and off irregularly.
Step 7 Observe the initialization process. The LEDs on each port adapter behave differently (most flash on and off). The ENABLED LED on each port adapter goes on when initialization is completed and the console screen displays a script and system banner.
|
Note For more information on LEDs, refer to the "LED Description" section in Chapter 1 of the Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide. |
When you start up the router for the first time, the system automatically enters the setup facility, which determines which port adapters are installed and prompts you for configuration information for each one. On the console terminal, after the system displays the system banner and hardware configuration, you will see the following System Configuration Dialog prompt:
Step 8 Enter yes or press Return to enter the initial configuration dialog.
You have the option of proceeding with the setup facility to configure the interfaces, or exiting from setup and using configuration commands to configure global (system-wide) and interface-specific parameters. You do not have to configure the interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the interfaces or connect them to any networks until you have configured them.
Many of the port adapter LEDs do not go on until you have configured the interfaces. To verify correct operation of each interface, complete the first-time startup procedures and configuration, and then refer to the configuration note for each port adapter for LED descriptions and to check the status of the interfaces.
If the system does not complete each of the steps in the startup procedure, refer to the online Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide, Appendix A, "Troubleshooting the Installation," for troubleshooting recommendations and procedures.
|
Note You need to acquire the correct network addresses from your system administrator or consult your network plan to determine correct addresses before you can complete the router configuration. |
If you do not plan to use AutoInstall, do not connect the router's serial (WAN) cable to the channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU). If the WAN cable is not connected, the router boots from Flash memory and goes automatically into the setup facility.
|
Note You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt (#) by entering the setup command. |
If the serial (WAN) cable is connected to the CSU/DSU and the router does not have a configuration stored in NVRAM, the router attempts to run AutoInstall at startup. The router may take several minutes to determine that AutoInstall is not set up to a remote TCP/IP host. Once the router determines that AutoInstall is not configured, it defaults to the setup facility.
When you first start the setup program, you must configure the global parameters. These parameters are used for controlling system-wide settings. Complete the following steps to enter the global parameters:
Step 2 Power on the router.
The system boots from Flash memory. After startup, the console screen displays a script and a system banner—after about 30 seconds—similar to the following. When you see this information, you have successfully booted your router:
The first two sections of the configuration script (the banner and the installed hardware) appear only at initial system startup. On subsequent uses of the setup facility, the script begins with a System Configuration Dialog as shown in the following example:
Step 3 When asked if you want to enter the initial configuration dialog and see the current interface summary, enter yes or press Return:
In the following example, the summary shows a Cisco 7200 VXR router at first-time startup; that is, nothing is configured:
Step 4 Choose which protocols to support on your interfaces. For Internet Protocol (IP)-only installations, you can accept the default values for most of the questions. A typical configuration using IP, IPX, and AppleTalk follows and continues through Step 9:
Step 5 Enter enable secret, enable, and virtual terminal passwords:
Step 6 The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most widely supported open standard for network management. It provides a means to access and set configuration and run-time parameters of routers and communication servers. SNMP defines a set of functions that can be used to monitor and control network elements.
Enter yes or press Return to accept SNMP management; enter no to refuse it:
Step 7 For the following queries, do not enable VINES, LAT, DECnet, CLNS, bridging, XNS, or Apollo:
Step 8 For the following queries, enable routing on AppleTalk and IPX:
Step 9 In most cases, you use IP routing. If you are using IP routing, you must also select an interior routing protocol. You can specify only one of two interior routing protocols to operate on your system using the setup facility: Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) or Routing Information Protocol (RIP). To configure IP routing, enter yes (the default) or press Return, and then select an interior routing protocol:
The following sample display includes a continuous listing of all configuration parameters selected in Step 4 through Step 9. Only IP, IPX, and AppleTalk are the selected protocols for this example.
Step 10 Save your settings to NVRAM. (See the "Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM" section.) Save the configuration settings that you created in the router using the configuration mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
If the NPE-G1 and an I/O controller are both installed in the same system, the console and auxiliary ports on the I/O controller are used and the console and auxiliary ports on the NPE-G1 are disabled by Cisco IOS.
|
Note Both the NPE-G1 and the I/O controller console ports are available from the ROM monitor (ROMmon), however, the console port on the NPE-G1 will be disabled once the system has completed loading the Cisco IOS image. |
If the NPE-G1 is used without an I/O controller, the console and auxiliary ports on the NPE-G1 are used.
If you choose to have console port messages routed to the auxiliary port, use the Cisco IOS command terminal monitor on the auxiliary port on which you desire to receive console messages.
The NPE-G1 reports both the RJ-45 and GBIC interface ports as GigabitEthernet 0/1, GigabitEthernet 0/2, and GigabitEthernet 0/3. Before configuring either port type, you must first use the media-type interface command to select the media type, either the GBIC (gbic) or RJ-45 (rj45) port.
|
Note The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the NPE-G1 do not support the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) VLAN encapsulation protocol. We recommend that you use the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation protocol as an alternative. Where an application requires the use of ISL, this can be provided by the Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet port adapters or I/O controllers. |
|
Note The RJ-45 port is the default media. |
To be able to use a particular media port for the NPE-G1 or I/O Controller GE/E, use Cisco IOS to select the media type. This is done by using the media-type interface command:
speed { 10 | 100 | 1000 | auto }
The following speed/duplex settings are supported:
a. If you are using the no negotiation auto command, the speed and duplex should be set to a value other than auto for correct operation.
b. The only available speed in this mode is 1000 Mbps; there is no difference whether 1000 or auto is selected.
When using the GBIC media, there is also the additional negotiation auto command that is used to enable the IEEE 802.1z Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) autonegotiation protocol.
Step 2 To turn the autonegotiation feature off (it is on by default), issue the interface command no negotiation auto. This is useful for connecting to other Gigabit Ethernet equipment that does not support 802.1z autonegotiation.
|
Note The autonegotiation feature is not supported when using the media type rj-45 and will be ignored if implementation is attempted. |
If you change from the GBIC to the RJ-45 media type, you must set speed and duplex after you have executed the media-type command to ensure the interface will operate in the correct mode.
The media type GBIC mode will always default to 1000 Mbps. Both full-duplex and half-duplex operation are supported in this mode.
Cisco IOS provides two commands to provide information on your interfaces: show interface GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is 1, 2, or 3) and show controllers GigabitEthernet 0/0.
The output of the show interface command is useful for determining the current operating mode of the interface (speed/duplex/media-type) and the current interface statistics.
The output of the show controllers command displays more information specific to the I/O controller interface. For example, it shows the detected link status, speed, and duplex, and also determines the current status of autonegotiation and the link partners' abilities (if it is an autonegotiation-capable interface).
The show controllers command also displays the current operating state of the driver and the Ethernet controller hardware. The show controllers command is a very powerful debugging aid, especially for Cisco engineers should you need help in debugging a problem. If you have any problems with your Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, you will need to provide this information to Cisco for analysis.
Should you have a problem with your NPE-G1 interface and wish to try and reset it, use the command:
clear interface GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is 1, 2, or 3)
NPE-G1 interface counters may be cleared (reset) by using the command:
clear counters GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is 1, 2, or 3)
This will not reset the interface.
Following are the steps for configuring interfaces to allow communication over a LAN or WAN. To configure the interface parameters, you need your interface network addresses and subnet mask information.
In the following example, an ATM interface in slot 1 is configured for an ATM LAN using IP. Follow these steps to configure an ATM interface:
Step 2 Determine if you are going to enable IPX on this interface; if you are, enter the unique IPX network number:
Step 3 If you are using AppleTalk on the interface, enter yes. Enter yes to configure for extended AppleTalk networks, and then enter the cable range number. Enter the zone name and any other additional zones that are associated with your local zone:
Step 4 Save your settings to NVRAM. (See the "Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM" section.) Save the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
|
Note If additional ATM interfaces are available in your system, you are prompted for their configurations as well. |
In the following example, a Fast Ethernet interface in slot 2 is configured for a Fast Ethernet LAN using IP. Follow these steps to configure Fast Ethernet interfaces:
Step 2 Determine if you are going to enable IPX on this interface; if you are, enter the unique IPX network number:
Step 3 If you are using AppleTalk on the interface, enter yes. Enter yes to configure for extended AppleTalk networks, and then enter the cable range number. Enter the zone name and any other additional zones that are associated with your local zone:
Step 4 Save your settings to NVRAM. (See the "Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM" section.) Save the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
|
Note If additional Fast Ethernet interfaces are available in your system, you are prompted for their configurations as well. |
Synchronous serial interfaces are configured to allow connection to WANs through a CSU/DSU. In the following example, a serial interface in slot 3 is configured for a WAN connection using IP. Follow these steps to configure synchronous serial interfaces:
Step 2 Determine if you are going to enable IPX on this interface; if you are, enter the unique IPX network number:
Step 3 If you are using AppleTalk on the interface, enter yes. Enter yes to configure for extended AppleTalk networks, and then enter the cable range number. Enter the zone name and any other additional zones that are associated with your local zone:
Step 4 Save your settings to NVRAM. (See the "Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM" section.) Save the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
|
Note If additional synchronous serial interfaces are available in your system, you are prompted for their configurations as well. |
The following sample display includes a continuous listing of all interface configuration parameters selected for ATM, Fast Ethernet, and serial interfaces.
Your router is now minimally configured and ready to use. You can use the setup command if you want to modify the parameters after the initial configuration. To perform more complex configurations, use the configure command.
For information on additional interface configuration and specific system configurations, refer to the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.
To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the Router# prompt:
Using this command saves the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
To check the value of the settings you have entered, enter the show running-config command at the Router# prompt:
To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC mode show startup-config command to display the information stored in NVRAM.
You can use the show version (or show hardware) and the show diag commands to display the system hardware (the network processing engine or network services engine and the number of interfaces installed), the software version, the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images. Use the show diag command to determine what type of port adapters and I/O controller are installed.
For specific information on the show version, show diag, and other commands, refer to the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.
After you have installed your Cisco 7200 VXR router hardware and minimally configured the system, you might need to perform more complex configurations, which are beyond the scope of this publication.
For specific information on system and interface configuration, refer to the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware. These publications contain additional information on using the configure command.
See the Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide, Chapter 4, "Observing System Startup and Performing a Basic Configuration" for instructions. It is possible to recover the enable or console login password. The enable secret password is encrypted and must be replaced with a new enable secret password.

Note When powering off or powering on the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on or off again. |
|
Caution If you are installing an NPE-G1, you must copy your saved configuration to a Flash Disk or PC Card or to a TFTP server before you install the NPE-G1. If you have a C7200-I/O-2GE/E or C7200- I/O-2FE/E I/O controller installed, copy the saved configuration only to a Flash Disk or TFTP server. |
Step 2 Disconnect the router from the power source.
Step 3 If you have an NPE-G1 installed, remove the cables and cable-management brackets. See Figure 5 and Figure 8.
Step 4 On the network processing engine (NPE) or network services engine (NSE) (1), unscrew the captive installation screws (2).
|
Note If you have difficulty installing a processing engine or I/O controller in the lowest slot of a Cisco 7200 VXR router that is rack-mounted, remove the port adapters, processing engine and I/O controller from the chassis and reinstall them. Install the processing engine and I/O controller in the lowest slots first, then populate the slots above them, in a bottom-to-top order. |
Step 5 Grasp the handle and pull the NPE or NSE from the chassis.
Step 6 Insert the NPE or NSE and tighten the captive installation screws.
Step 7 If you are replacing an NPE-G1, install the cable-management brackets and cables. See Figure 5 and Figure 8.
Step 8 Connect the router to the power source and power up the router.
See the Network Processing Engine or Network Services Engine Installation and Configuration publication at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/7206/fru/npense/index.htm.
|
Note Before powering down the router, use the copy running-config tftp command to save the router's running configuration to a TFTP file server. |
Step 2 Disconnect the router from the power source.
Step 3 Remove any I/O controller cables.
Step 4 On the I/O controller (1), unscrew the captive installation screws (2), grasp the handle, and pull the I/O controller from the chassis.

Note If you have difficulty installing a processing engine or I/O controller in the lowest slot of a Cisco 7200 VXR router that is rack-mounted, remove the port adapters, processing engine and I/O controller from the chassis and reinstall them. Install the processing engine and I/O controller in the lowest slots first, then populate the slots above them, in a bottom-to-top order. |
Step 5 Insert the I/O controller and tighten the captive installation screws.
Step 6 Connect any I/O controller cables.
Step 7 Connect the router to the power source and power on the router.
Step 8 Retrieve and restore the configuration from the TFTP server and copy it to NVRAM. Use the copy tftp running-config command to copy the saved configuration from the TFTP file server.
Step 9 Enter the show running-config command to display the currently running configuration on the terminal. Review the display and ensure that the configuration information is complete and correct.
Step 10 When you have verified that the currently running configuration is correct, enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the retrieved configuration in NVRAM. Otherwise, the new configuration will be lost.

Note PC Cards or Flash memory cards, Flash Disks, and CompactFlash Disks are replaceable while the system is operating. |
Step 2 Insert the new PC Card or Flash memory card, Flash Disk, or CompactFlash Disk (1 and 2). The PC Card or Flash memory card or Flash Disk protrudes from the I/O controller when it is completely inserted.
To replace the CompactFlash Disk in the NPE-G1, see the "Prepare for Installation" section.
Also see Using the Flash Disk at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7000/frus/5819fdsk.htm, and Memory Replacement Instructions for the Network Processing Engine or Network Services Engine and I/O Controller at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/7206/fru/memory/index.htm.
Step 2 Remove the GBIC from the I/O controller or the NPE-G1.
Step 3 Locate the alignment groove (2)on the GBIC. (The label faces up.)
The GBIC is keyed so that it cannot be inserted incorrectly.
Step 4 Insert the GBIC into the slot on the I/O controller or the NPE-G1.
Step 5 Attach the GBIC cables. Also see the "GBIC Interface Cables Installation" section.

Note Before removing a port adapter, shut down the interface so that there is no traffic running through the port adapter when it is removed. |
|
Note If you have difficulty installing a processing engine or I/O controller in the lowest slot of a Cisco 7200 VXR router that is rack-mounted, remove the port adapters, processing engine and I/O controller from the chassis and reinstall them. Install the processing engine and I/O controller in the lowest slots first, then populate the slots above them, in a bottom-to-top order. |
Step 2 Grasp the handle and pull the port adapter from the router, about halfway out of its slot (3). If you are removing a blank port adapter, pull the blank port adapter completely out of the chassis slot.
Step 3 With the port adapter halfway out of the slot, disconnect all cables from the port adapter. After disconnecting the cables, pull the port adapter from its chassis slot.
Step 4 To insert the port adapter, carefully align the port adapter carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port adapter slot guide (4) and slide the new port adapter halfway into the port adapter slot (3).
Step 5 Connect all required cables to the port adapter. After connecting all required cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until the port adapter is seated in the router midplane.
Step 6 After the port adapter is properly seated, lock the port adapter lever (5).
