Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

•Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the router interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

•Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a router.

•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 or makes the equipment unsafe.

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

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.

Use the following guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

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

•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.

•When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane.

•When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.

•Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.

•Place a removed board component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container; otherwise, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

•Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

•Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

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

Wrist Strap Warning

Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Waarschuwing

Draag tijdens deze procedure aardingspolsbanden om te vermijden dat de kaart beschadigd wordt door elektrostatische ontlading. Raak het achterbord niet rechtstreeks aan met uw hand of met een metalen werktuig, omdat u anders een elektrische schok zou kunnen oplopen.

Overview

Bootflash is a single inline memory module (SIMM) with a bootloader image that allows the router to access the Cisco IOS image when powering up or initializing the system. Bootloader images can be downloaded over the network, or from a local server. Refer to Table 1 for a list of IOS images that require a 16MB bootflash.

In this document, you will perform the following steps to upgrade the bootflash to 16MB:

•Confirm the bootflash size

•Remove the RSP4+

•Remove the 8-MB SIMM

•Install the 16-MB SIMM

•Reinstall the RSP4+

•Load and configure the new bootflash

Confirming the Bootflash Memory Size

To check the bootflash memory size on your RSP4+, use the show version command. The following example indicates that the bootflash memory size is insufficient for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4.4)T2 and 12.1(5)T, and later releases.

Router# show version
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 7500 Software (C7200-J-M), Released Version 12.0(2)

20480K bytes of Flash PCMCIA card at slot 0 (Sector size 128K).
8192K bytes of Flash internal SIMM (Sector size 256K)

Removing the RSP4+

The first step in upgrading the bootflash is to remove the RSP4+ from the Cisco 7500 series router.

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface.

Step 2 Turn off the system power.

Step 3 Disconnect the cables from the RSP4+.

Step 4 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at both ends of the board. (See Figure 1.)

Caution Use the ejector levers to remove or install the RSP4+. Failure to do so can cause erroneous system error messages indicating a board failure.

Step 5 Place your thumbs on the ejector levers and simultaneously pull both of the ejectors outward (in the opposite direction from that show in c in Figure 1) to release the RSP4+ from the backplane connector.

Step 6 Use the RSP4+ handle to carefully pull it straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 2.) Keep the RSP4+ parallel to the backplane. Avoid touching the board or any connector pins.

Step 7 Place the removed RSP4+ on an antistatic mat or foam pad for installation later in this procedure.

Figure 1 Ejector Levers and Captive Installation Screws on the RSP4+—Vertical Orientation Shown

Figure 2 Handling the RSP4+ During Removal and Installation

This completes the RSP4+ removal procedure.

Removing the SIMM

After removing the RSP4+ from the Cisco 7500 series router, remove the 8-MB SIMM, using the following procedure.

Step 1 Position the RSP4+ so that the handle is away from you and the bus connector is toward you—opposite of the position shown in Figure 2.

Figure 3 Location of SIMM on the RSP4+

Step 2 Locate the SIMM. The SIMM occupies socket U1. (See Figure 3.)

Step 3 Remove the SIMM from its socket by pulling the locking spring clips on both sides outward and tilting the SIMM free of the clips. (See Figure 4.) Be careful not to break the clips on the SIMM connector.

Figure 4 Releasing the SIMM Spring Clips

Step 4 Grasp the ends of the SIMM with your thumbs and forefingers and lift it out of the socket. (See Figure 5.)

Figure 5 Handling a SIMM

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle the edges of the SIMM only; avoid touching the memory module, pins, or traces (the metal fingers) along the socket edge.

Step 5 Place the SIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.

This completes the SIMM removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install the new SIMM.

Installing the SIMM

After removing the 8-MB SIMM, use the following procedure to install the 16-MB SIMM.

Step 1 Position the RSP4+ so that the handle is away from you and the bus connector is toward you—opposite of the position shown in Figure 2.

Step 2 Locate the memory SIMM socket for the insertion. The SIMM occupies socket U1. (See Figure 3.)

Step 3 Hold the SIMM between your thumbs and forefingers, component-side-up, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) away from you. (See Figure 5.)

Note SIMMs have a polarization notch to prevent them from being installed backwards. Hold the SIMM with the connector edge at the bottom. (See Figure 6.)

Figure 6 SIMM Polarization Notch

Step 4 Tilt the SIMM to approximately the same angle as the socket and insert the connector edge into the socket.

Note When inserting SIMMs, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have to return the RSP4+ to the factory for repair.

Step 5 Gently push the SIMM into the socket until the spring clips snap over the ends of the SIMM. If necessary, rock the SIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly. (See Figure 7.)

Figure 7 Inserting Vertically-Loaded SIMMS

Step 6 Confirm that the SIMM is properly seated. If the SIMM is properly seated, the socket guide posts should insert through the alignment holes, and the connector springs should click into place. If the SIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the SIMM firmly back into the socket until the spring clips snap into place.

This completes the new SIMM installation procedure.

Installing the RSP4+

Follow the steps below to reinstall the RSP4+ that was removed.

Step 1 Hold the RSP4+ handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support the RSP4+ and guide it into the slot. (See Figure 2.) Avoid touching the card or any connector pins.

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle the RSP4+ by the handles and carrier edges only.

Step 2 Place the back of the RSP4+ in the slot and align the notch on the carrier with the groove in the slot. (See Figure 1.)

Step 3 While keeping the RSP4+ parallel to the backplane, carefully slide it into the slot until the back of the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, and then stop. (See b in Figure 1.)

Caution Use the ejector levers to remove or install the RSP4+. Failure to do so can cause erroneous system error messages indicating a board failure.

Step 4 Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until the RSP4+ is pushed entirely into its slot. (See c in Figure 1.)

Step 5 Tighten both captive installation screws.

Step 6 Reconnect the cables to the RSP4+.

This completes theRSP4+ installation procedure.

Loading and Configuring the Bootflash Image

Using the steps in this procedure, you will:

•Enable the router to enter privileged mode

•Confirm the new bootflash size

•Format the bootflash

•Copy the rsp-boot image onto the bootflash

•Confirm that the image has been copied to bootflash

•Modify the configuration file to reboot using the new bootflash image

•Configure the router to use the bootloader image in bootflash

•Save the configuration

•Confirm that the configuration reflects the new bootloader image

Step 1 Boot the router, and allow it to initialize.

Step 2 Use the enable command to enter privileged mode so you can configure the new 16MB bootflash:

Router> en
Password:
Router#

Step 3 Use the show version command to confirm the size of the bootflash. The following example shows an 16MB bootflash output:

Note In the preceding example, the exclamation points (!!!) appear as the file is downloaded, and the "C" characters signify calculation of the checksum, which is a verification that the file has been correctly downloaded to bootflash.

Step 6 Use the dir bootflash command to confirm that the image has been copied to Flash memory. The output should display the filename of the image you copied to Flash memory (rsp11-1 in the following example):

Router# dir bootflash:
Directory of bootflash:/

1 -rw- 5090824 Jan 01 2000 00:02:28 rsp-boot-mz.121-5.T1

7602176 bytes total (2511224 bytes free)
Router#

Step 7 To ensure that the new image is used as a bootloader, add the appropriate commands to the configuration file. To modify the configuration file, use the configure terminal command, as follows:

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Step 8 Specify that you are changing the bootloader image, and that it will load from bootflash. Then add the filename of the new bootloader image to be loaded from bootflash:

Router(config)# boot bootldr bootflash:rsp-boot-mz.121-5.T1

The bootloader command is automatically added to your running configuration.

Step 9 To exit configuration mode, press Ctrl-Z.

Step 10 To save the configuration, copy the new configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM):

Router#
Router# copy running-config startup-config

The new bootloader image is saved in the startup-config.

Step 11 Use the sh bootv command to confirm that the new bootloader image will load automatically the next time the system boots or reinitializes.

Router#sh bootv
BOOT variable =
CONFIG_FILE variable = bootflash:startup-config
BOOTLDR variable = bootflash:rsp-boot-mz.121-5.T1
Configuration register is 0x0

This completes the procedure for loading and configuring the boot image.
