General Maintenance Guidelines

This section covers the following topics:

Installation and Replacement Suggestions

The following examples list recommended installation and replacement practices for the 4xSDSLs.


Caution   Any line card that is only partially connected to the backplane can disrupt system operation.

Hot Swapping Line Cards

The 4xSDSL can be hot swapped. Hot swapping allows you to remove, replace, and rearrange the line cards without disconnecting the system power. When the system detects that you have added or removed a 4xSDSL, it automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines and acknowledges the presence or absence of the line card.

If you remove and replace a

After you remove the line card and install the 4xSDSL, the system identifies it as present but unprovisioned.

If an unprovisioned line card is installed for the first time, the system identifies it as present but unprovisioned. Instructions for provisioning the line card are found in the appropriate software guide for your chassis.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco equipment. ESD damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Use an antistatic strap when you handle any card or component.

Follow these guidelines to prevent ESD damage:


Caution   Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. Ensure that the measurement is between 1 and 10 megohms.

Removing and Installing the 4xSDSL

The following sections describe how to remove or install a 4xSDSL.


Caution   Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded by means of grounding straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Equipment is subject to ESD damage whenever it is removed from the chassis.


Note   All cards must be fully seated in the chassis. Push on the faceplate of each card to be sure that the card is fully seated.

Removing a 4xSDSL

Complete the following steps to remove a 4xSDSL from the chassis:


Step 1   Connect a grounding strap to the ESD grounding jack on the chassis.

Step 2   Use a flat-head screwdriver to move the locking tab from the locked to the unlocked position. Be sure to turn the locking tab so that it does not overlap the line card ejector lever as shown in Figure 2.


Figure 2: Positioning the Locking Tab for the 4xSDSL


Step 3   Lift the ejector lever to disconnect the line card from the backplane.

Step 4   Carefully slide the line card out of the slot.

Either replace the line card that you remove, or insert a blank faceplate in the empty slot. See the "Installing a 4xSDSL" section for 4xSDSL installation instructions. See the "Installing a Blank Faceplate" section for blank faceplate installation instructions.


Warning Blank faceplates and cover 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, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.


Installing a 4xSDSL

Complete the following steps to install a 4xSDSL in the chassis:


Step 1   Connect a grounding strap to the ESD grounding jack on the chassis.

Step 2   Hold the line card vertically with the faceplate toward you and the connectors facing the chassis slot.

Step 3   Align the line card edges with the guides at the top and bottom of the slot in the chassis.

Step 4   Lift the ejector lever and gently apply pressure to the faceplate while pushing the line card into the slot.

Figure 3 shows an example of the line card installation. The installation procedures will be similar for the other chassis.

Step 5   Push on the faceplate of the line card to fully seat the card.

Step 6   Press down on the ejector lever to secure the line card and connect it to the backplane.

Step 7   Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the locking tab so that it overlaps the line card ejector lever to prevent inadvertent dislodging. Figure 2 shows how to position the locking tabs.

Step 8   Verify that the STATUS LED is solid green after the brief self-test. If the STATUS LED is not green after the self-test, see the appropriate hardware guide for your chassis for troubleshooting procedures.


Note   If you are installing the line card for the first time, refer to the provisioning procedures in the appropriate software guide for your chassis.


Installing a Blank Faceplate

Complete the following steps to install a blank faceplate in the chassis:


Note   Blank faceplates should occupy any empty line card slots in the chassis. The blank faceplate installation is similar to the line card installation.


Step 1   Connect a grounding strap to the ESD grounding jack.

Step 2   Align the blank faceplate edge with the slot guides in the chassis.

Step 3   Lift the ejector lever and gently apply pressure to the faceplate while pushing the blank faceplate into the slot.

Step 4   Push on the faceplate to fully seat the blank faceplate.

Step 5   Press down on the ejector lever to secure the faceplate.


Traffic Handling

The 4xSDSL supports up to 1168 kbps upstream and downstream data rates.

Downstream refers to data that is coming from the NI-1 card and NI-2 card to the subscriber lines. Upstream refers to data that is coming from the subscriber lines to the NI-1 card and NI-2 card.

System Controller Module Microprocessor


Note   This section applies only to the Cisco 6130 with NI-1 system.

When the system controller module is reset, the module microprocessor executes boot flash. The boot flash code also contains a boot loader for the serial management bus (SMB). If the current image in the 4xSDSL flash is not the latest image available, the system controller module sends the run-time image for the 4xSDSL over the SMB. The image is loaded and run from Flash.
