Supervisor Engine III Overview

The Supervisor Engine III hardware allows all three 1.2-Gbps backplanes in the Catalyst 5500 series switches to operate independently, providing 3.6-Gbps throughput (when traffic does not have to cross the backplane bus segments).

The Supervisor Engine III boots differently from the earlier supervisor engines. The Supervisor Engine III boot process uses two images: ROM monitor and Catalyst 5000 family supervisor engine software. The ROM monitor is the first software to run when the switch is powered up or reset. Based on how the ROM monitor has been configured, the switch either stays in ROM monitor mode or loads the supervisor engine software (refer to the Software Configuration Guide for your switch for detailed information about using ROM monitor mode).

A configuration register allows you to configure the ROM monitor, and the BOOT environment variable allows you to specify the location and filename of images to boot.

Caution   When connecting the 1000BASE-LX/LH uplink module port with 62.5-micron diameter multimode fiber (MMF), we recommend that you install a mode-conditioning patch cord (Cisco product number CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) between the uplink port and the MMF cable on both the transmit and receive ends of the link. The patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 meters). Otherwise, an effect called differential mode delay might degrade link performance. For more information, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Family Supervisor Engine Installation Guide.

Refer to Chapter 2, "Installing the Supervisor Engine," in the Catalyst 5000 Family Supervisor Engine Installation Guide for detailed information on using these ports.

Flash PC Card Slots

The Flash PC card (PCMCIA) slots are for additional system Flash memory. You can use this Flash memory to store and run supervisor engine software images or to serve as an I/O device. For information on using the Flash PC cards, see the "Removing and Replacing the Supervisor Engine" section.

Memory

Onboard memory consists of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) for the default system software, Flash memory for downloading the system software, and nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) for the configuration file. Refer to the Release Notes for your supervisor engine software release for the minimum requirements for each supervisor engine.

Flash Memory

Flash memory allows you to load and store system software images. You can download a new software image over the network or from a local Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server and add the new image to Flash memory or replace an existing file in Flash memory. The Supervisor Engine III Flash memory contains a file system, which includes the following:

You can use several commands to manage the file system (such as cd, pwd, dir, delete, and copy).

For information on using the Flash PC card, see the "Removing and Replacing the Supervisor Engine" section. For information on configuring Supervisor Engine III to boot from Flash PC card memory devices, see the "Standards Compliance Specifications" section.

EEPROM

An electronically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) component on the supervisor engine stores module-specific information, such as the module serial number, part number, controller type, hardware revision, configuration information, and other details unique to each module. The supervisor engine EEPROM also contains an address allocator, which is a bank of 1024 hardware or media access control (MAC)-level addresses, one for each possible virtual local area network (VLAN) in the system.

NVRAM

The configuration file is stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM).

Safety Overview


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 "Translated Safety Warnings" section in this document.


Warning Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Site Preparation and Safety Guide. This guide contains important safety information you should know before working with the system.

Required Tools

These tools are required to install a supervisor engine in the Catalyst 5000 family switches:

Whenever you handle a supervisor engine, always use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). For information on preventing ESD, see the "Preventing ESD" section of the Site Preparation and Safety Guide.

Removing and Replacing the Supervisor Engine

The following sections describe the supervisor engine removal and replacement procedures:


Note   To support supervisor engine redundant operation, both the supervisor engines must have the same type of EARL card—two EARLs or two NFFCs.


Note   Catalyst 5505, Catalyst 5509, and Catalyst 5500 switches—When two supervisor engines are installed, hot swapping allows you to remove and replace one of the supervisor engines without turning off the system power.

Avoiding Problems When Inserting and Removing Modules

The ejector levers on the supervisor engine and switching modules align and seat the module connectors in the backplane. (See Figure 13.) If you fail to use the ejector levers to insert the module, you can disrupt the order in which the pins make contact with the backplane. When removing a module, use the ejector levers to ensure that the module connector pins disconnect from the backplane properly. Any supervisor engine or switching module that is only partially connected to the backplane can disrupt the system.


Figure 13: Ejector Levers and Captive Installation Screws


Removing the Supervisor Engine

Before you remove a supervisor engine, you should first upload the current configuration to a server. This saves time when bringing the supervisor engine back online.

Enter the write network command to upload the configuration file to the network. Refer to the write, show config, and write config commands in the Command Reference for your switch for examples.

Enter the copy command to download the current configuration to a Flash memory device on the new supervisor engine.


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


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.

To remove a supervisor engine, perform the following steps:


Step 1   If you do not plan to immediately reinstall the supervisor engine you are removing, disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module ports.

Step 2   Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the module.

Step 3   Grasp the left and right ejector levers. Simultaneously pull the left lever to the left and the right lever to the right to release the module from the backplane connector.

Step 4   Grasp the handle of the module with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide the module out of the slot. Avoid touching the module itself.

Step 5   Carefully pull the module straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it. Keep the module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane.

Step 6   Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

Step 7   If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the module compartment.



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.


Note   When you remove and replace the supervisor engine, the system provides status messages on the console screen. The messages are for information only. Enter the show system and show module commands to view specific information. For additional information, refer to the Software Configuration Guide and Command Reference for your switch.

Installing the Supervisor Engine

When installing the supervisor engine, note that it must go in a specific slot:


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


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.

To install the supervisor engine, follow these steps:


Step 1   To install the supervisor engine, hold the front panel with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier to support the supervisor engine. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.

Step 2   Align the edges of the supervisor engine carrier with the slot guides on the sides of the switch chassis.

Step 3   Pivot the two module ejector levers out away from the faceplate. The ejector levers are shown pivoted out in Figure 14.


Figure 14: Module Ejector Lever Operation


Step 4   Keeping one hand under the carrier to guide the supervisor engine, carefully slide it into the slot on the Catalyst 5000 family switch until the ejector levers click into place on the chassis. Be sure to keep the module horizontal to the backplane and avoid touching any of the components on the module.

Step 5   Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously pivot in both ejector levers, as shown in Figure 14, to fully seat the switching module in the backplane connector.


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

Step 6   Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the module.


Removing and Replacing Supervisor Engine Uplink Modules

This section describes how to remove and replace supervisor engine uplink modules. If you have a supervisor engine with an uplink module already installed and you are replacing the uplink module, see the "Replacing an Uplink Module" section. If you are installing an uplink module into a supervisor engine with no uplink module, see the "Adding an Uplink Module" section.

Replacing an Uplink Module

Use this procedure to remove and replace an uplink module:


Step 1   If not already removed, remove the supervisor engine from the Catalyst 5000 family switch. See the "Removing the Supervisor Engine" section.

Step 2   Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four screws securing the uplink module to the supervisor engine. (See Figure 15.)


Figure 15: Removing and Replacing a Supervisor Engine Uplink Module


Step 3   Carefully pull the uplink module up and out of the supervisor engine.


Note   The rear of the uplink module connects to the supervisor engine through connectors on the bottom side of the uplink module. Use care when unseating the uplink module from these connectors.

Step 4   Place the removed uplink module in an antistatic bag.

Step 5   Remove the new uplink module from its antistatic bag and install it in the supervisor engine. Use care when seating the rear of the uplink module into the connectors.

Step 6   Ensure that the uplink module is securely seated in the supervisor engine.


Caution   Ensure that the module is securely seated before installing and tightening the securing screws. Using the screws to seat the module could warp the module.

Step 7   Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to install the four screws that secure the uplink module to the supervisor engine.

Step 8   Install the supervisor engine into the Catalyst 5000 family switch. See the "Installing the Supervisor Engine" section.


Adding an Uplink Module

Use this procedure to add an uplink module to a supervisor engine with no uplink module:


Step 1   If not already removed, remove the supervisor engine from the Catalyst 5000 family switch. See the "Removing the Supervisor Engine" section.

Step 2   Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the blank uplink module filler plate from the supervisor engine. Set the screws in a secure place because they will be reused.

Step 3   Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws from the two standoffs that will secure the rear of the uplink module. Set the screws in a secure place because they will be reused.

Step 4   Remove the new uplink module from its antistatic bag and install it in the supervisor engine. Use care when seating the rear of the uplink module into the connectors.

Step 5   Ensure that the uplink module is securely seated in the supervisor engine.

Step 6   Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to install the four screws that secure the uplink module to the supervisor engine. (See Figure 15.)


Caution   Ensure that the module is securely seated before installing and tightening the securing screws. Using the screws to seat the module could warp the module.

Step 7   Install the supervisor engine into the Catalyst 5000 family switch. See the "Installing the Supervisor Engine" section.


Using Flash PC Cards


Note   Flash PC cards must either be formatted on the Supervisor Engine III or on a route switch processor (RSP)-based Cisco 7500 series router running software at the same level or later as the Supervisor Engine III. Flash PC cards previously formatted on a route processor (RP)-based Cisco 7000 series router cannot be used on the Supervisor Engine III. Note that Flash PC cards formatted on the Supervisor Engine III can be used on RSP-based Cisco 7500 series routers (but not on RP-based Cisco 7000 series routers).

The Supervisor Engine III has two Flash PC card slots: slot 0 (bottom) and slot 1 (top). The Flash PC cards are available in two sizes: 16 and 20 MB.

Before you install a card, verify that the Flash PC card's write protection is off. The write-protection switch is located on the front edge of the card when oriented with the printing right side up and the edge connector end away from you. (See Figure 16.)


Note   You can insert and remove the Flash PC card with the power on.


Figure 16: Locating the Flash PC Card Write Protection Switch


To install and remove a Flash PC card, follow this procedure:


Step 1   Face the front panel of the switch and hold the Flash PC card with the connector end of the card toward the slot. The connector end of the card is opposite the end with the write-protection switch. (See
Figure 16.)

Step 2   Insert the card into the appropriate slot until the card completely seats in the connector at the back of the slot and the eject button pops out toward you. Note that the card does not insert all the way inside the slot; a portion of the card remains outside the slot. Do not attempt to force the card past this point.

Step 3   To eject a card, press the appropriate ejector button until the card is free of the connector at the back of the slot.

Step 4   Remove the card from the slot and place it in an antistatic bag.


For information on the boot process using Flash PC card memory, see the "Standards Compliance Specifications" section. For Flash PC card formatting instructions, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Family Installation Guide.

Connecting a Terminal to the Console Port

Connect the terminal using a thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable (looks like a telephone cable) and an RJ-45-to-DB-9, RJ-45-to-D-subminiature female, or RJ-45-to-D-subminiature male adapter.


Note   An RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable and adapters are provided in the console port accessory kit shipped with your Supervisor Engine III.

Configuring a Terminal for Attachment to the Console Port


Note   The console port is an asynchronous serial port; any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission.

Before connecting the console port, check the terminal documentation to determine the baud rate. The baud rate of the terminal must match the default baud rate (9600 baud) of the console port. Set up the terminal as follows:

Connecting to the Interface Ports

The Supervisor Engine III has the following interface ports:

The 10/100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX ports operate in full- or half-duplex mode. The 1000BASE-SX MMF and 1000BASE- LX/LH MMF and SMF ports operate in full-duplex mode only.

For information on interface cables and equipment, such as Ethernet transceivers, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Family Supervisor Engine Installation Guide.

10/100BASE-TX (RJ-45 MDIX connectors)

The 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 port cable connector is shown in Figure 17.


Figure 17: 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 Connector Type


100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX, and 1000BASE-LX/LH (Single-Mode or Multimode Fiber-Optic Connectors)

Use SC-type fiber-optic connectors (see Figure 18) to connect to the 100BASE-FX (dual port), 1000BASE-SX, and 1000BASE-LX/LH ports. Use MTRJ fiber-optic connectors (see Figure 19) to connect to the 100BASE-FX (four port) ports. Always keep caps and plugs on the fiber-optic connectors on the cable and on the switch when they are not in use.


Figure 18: SC-type Fiber-Optic Connector Type



Figure 19:
MTRJ Fiber-Optic Connector


Verifying System Operation

After all interfaces are connected, check all connections, and then perform the following steps to verify that the switch is operational:


Step 1   Check the console terminal and make sure it is on.

Step 2   Verify that the appropriate PS1 and PS2 LEDs on the supervisor engine front panel are green.

Step 3   While the system initializes, check that the System Status LED on the supervisor engine is orange until the boot is complete.

Step 4   Some interface LEDs might go on or blink for a short time. Some LEDs, such as the Link LED, stay on during the entire boot process. If an interface is already configured, the LEDs might be on steadily as they detect traffic on the line. Wait until the system boot is complete before attempting to verify the switching module LED indications.


Note   Catalyst 5505, Catalyst 5509, and Catalyst 5500—If you have a redundant supervisor engine, refer to the "Using Redundant Supervisor Engines" chapter of the Software Configuration Guide for your switch for a detailed description of supervisor engine operation in a redundant configuration. By default, the supervisor engine in slot 1 is the active supervisor; the second supervisor in slot 2 is the standby supervisor.


Note   Many of the switching module LEDs are not on until you configure the interfaces.

Step 5   When the system boot is complete (it takes a few seconds), the supervisor engine begins to initialize the switching modules.

During this initialization, the LEDs on each switching module behave differently (most flash on and off). The System Status LED on each switching module goes on when initialization is complete, and the console screen displays a script and system banner.


Note   When the switching module LEDs are on, the interface ports are not necessarily functional or enabled. Although the LEDs for many interface types go on at the initial system startup, they do not indicate an accurate status until the interface is configured. For detailed module-specific LED descriptions, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Family Module Installation Guide.


Note   Catalyst 5500 only—The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) system processor (ASP), ATM port adapter carrier, and ATM adapter module LEDs are described in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch User Guide. The Catalyst 8510 Campus Switch Router (CSR) Switch Route Processor (SRP) is described in the Catalyst 8510 Campus Switch Router documentation. These publications are available on the Cisco Connection Documentation CD and in print.

If the system does not complete this verification process, refer to Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting the Installation," in the Catalyst 5000 Family Installation Guide for troubleshooting procedures.

Step 6   Your hardware installation is now complete. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide and Command Reference for your switch for complete software configuration instructions.

Faceplates and Cover Panel Requirement


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.

Waarschuwing

Lege vlakplaten en afdekpanelen vervullen drie belangrijke functies: ze voorkomen blootstelling aan gevaarlijke voltages en stroom binnenin het frame, ze bevatten elektromagnetische storing (EMI) hetgeen andere apparaten kan verstoren en ze leiden de stroom van koellucht door het frame. Het systeem niet bedienen tenzij alle kaarten, vlakplaten en afdekkingen aan de voor- en achterkant zich op hun plaats bevinden.

Varoitus

Tyhjillä tasolaikoilla ja suojapaneeleilla on kolme tärkeää käyttötarkoitusta: Ne suojaavat asennuspohjan sisäisille vaarallisille jännitteille ja sähkövirralle altistumiselta; ne pitävät sisällään elektromagneettisen häiriön (EMI), joka voi häiritä muita laitteita; ja ne suuntaavat tuuletusilman asennuspohjan läpi. Järjestelmää ei saa käyttää, elleivät kaikki tasolaikat, etukannet ja takakannet ole kunnolla paikoillaan.

Attention

Ne jamais faire fonctionner le système sans que l'intégralité des cartes, des plaques métalliques et des panneaux avant et arrière ne soient fixés à leur emplacement. Ceux-ci remplissent trois fonctions essentielles : ils évitent tout risque de contact avec des tensions et des courants dangereux à l'intérieur du châssis, ils évitent toute diffusion d'interférences électromagnétiques qui pourraient perturber le fonctionnement des autres équipements, et ils canalisent le flux d'air de refroidissement dans le châssis.

Warnung

Blanke Faceplates und Abdeckungen haben drei wichtigen Funktionen: (1) Sie schützen vor gefährlichen Spannungen und Strom innerhalb des Chassis; (2) sie halten elektromagnetische Interferenzen (EMI) zurück, die andere Geräte stören könnten; (3) sie lenken den kühlenden Luftstrom durch das Chassis. Das System darf nur betrieben werden, wenn alle Karten, Faceplates, Voder- und Rückabdeckungen an Ort und Stelle sind.

Avvertenza

Le piattaforme bianche e i panelli di protezione hanno tre funzioni importanti: Evitano l'esposizione a voltaggi e correnti elettriche pericolose nello chassis, trattengono le interferenze elettromagnetiche (EMI) che potrebbero scombussolare altri apparati e dirigono il flusso di aria per il raffreddamento attraverso lo chassis. Non mettete in funzione il sistema se le schede, le piattaforme, i panelli frontali e posteriori non sono in posizione.

Advarsel

Blanke ytterplater og deksler sørger for tre viktige funksjoner: de forhindrer utsettelse for farlig spenning og strøm inni kabinettet; de inneholder elektromagnetisk forstyrrelse (EMI) som kan avbryte annet utstyr, og de dirigerer luftavkjølingsstrømmen gjennom kabinettet. Betjen ikke systemet med mindre alle kort, ytterplater, frontdeksler og bakdeksler sitter på plass.

Aviso

As faces furadas e os painéis de protecção desempenham três importantes funções: previnem contra uma exposição perigosa a voltagens e correntes existentes no interior do chassis; previnem contra interferência electromagnética (EMI) que poderá danificar outro equipamento; e canalizam o fluxo do ar de refrigeração através do chassis. Não deverá operar o sistema sem que todas as placas, faces, protecções anteriores e posteriores estejam nos seus lugares.

¡Advertencia!

Las placas frontales y los paneles de relleno cumplen tres funciones importantes: evitan la exposición a niveles peligrosos de voltaje y corriente dentro del chasis; reducen la interferencia electromagnética (EMI) que podría perturbar la operación de otros equipos y dirigen el flujo de aire de enfriamiento a través del chasis. No haga funcionar el sistema a menos que todas las tarjetas, placas frontales, cubiertas frontales y cubiertas traseras estén en su lugar.

Varning!

Tomma framplattor och skyddspaneler har tre viktiga funktioner: de förhindrar att personer utsätts för farlig spänning och ström som finns inuti chassit; de innehåller elektromagnetisk interferens (EMI) som kan störa annan utrustning; och de styr riktningen på kylluftsflödet genom chassit. Använd inte systemet om inte alla kort, framplattor, fram- och bakskydd är på plats.
