The console port allows you to perform the following functions:
The RSFC console port enables you to configure the switch for multiprotocol routing using Cisco IOS software.
The console port and RSFC console port are EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial, full-featured data terminal equipment (DTE) connections with hardware flow control and RJ-45 connectors. A console port accessory kit with the necessary cabling and adapters is provided for making your terminal connection.
The console port mode switch allows you to connect a terminal to the supervisor engine using the desired console cable.
You also can connect a modem to the console port using the cable and adapter provided with
the switch.
Use the console port mode switch as follows:
For more information on using the console port, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Series Supervisor Engine Installation Guide.
Onboard memory consists of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) for the default system software, Flash memory for downloading and storage of the system software, and nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) for the configuration file. Refer to the release notes for your Catalyst 5000 series supervisor engine software release for the minimum requirements.
Flash memory allows you to load and store system software images. Supervisor Engine II G has 8 MB of Flash memory. You can download a new software image over the network or from a local Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.
An electronically erasable programmable ROM (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 VLAN in the system.
The configuration file is stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM).

ESD damage occurs when electronic modules or components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
 | Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms). |
The ejector levers on the supervisor engine align and seat the supervisor engine connectors in the backplane. See Figure 8. If you fail to use the ejector levers to insert the supervisor engine, you can disrupt the order in which the pins make contact with the backplane. When removing a supervisor engine, use the ejector levers to ensure that the supervisor engine connector pins disconnect from the backplane properly. Any supervisor engine that is only partially connected to the backplane can disrupt the system.
Before you remove the supervisor engine from the switch, 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. Enter the copy command to download the current configuration to a Flash memory device on the new supervisor engine.
To remove the supervisor engine from the switch, follow these steps:
| Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle switching modules by the carrier edges only. |
| Caution When removing or inserting a switching module, always wear an ESD wrist strap connected to the Catalyst 5000 series switch ESD wrist strap connector. |
Step 1 Take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage, as described in the "Preventing ESD Damage" section.
Step 2 If you do not plan to immediately reinstall the supervisor engine you are removing, disconnect any network interface cables attached to the uplink ports.
Step 3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the supervisor engine.
Step 4 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 supervisor engine from the backplane connector.
Step 5 Grasp the supervisor engine with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide the supervisor engine out of the slot. Avoid touching any of the components on the supervisor engine.
Step 6 Carefully pull the supervisor engine straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it. Keep the supervisor engine horizontal to the backplane.
Step 7 Place the removed supervisor engine on an antistatic mat, foam, or bag.
| Caution Always install a switching module filler plate in empty switching module slots to maintain the proper flow of cooling air across the modules. |
When installing the supervisor engine, note that it must go in a specific slot:
To install the supervisor engine, follow these steps:
| Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle switching modules by the carrier edges only. |
| Caution When removing or inserting a switching module, always wear an ESD wrist strap connected to the Catalyst 5000 series switch ESD wrist strap connector. |
Step 1 Take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage, as described in the "Preventing ESD Damage" section.
Step 2 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 3 Align the edges of the supervisor engine carrier with the slot guides on the sides of the switch chassis.
Step 4 Pivot the two module ejector levers out away from the faceplate. The ejector levers are shown pivoted out in Figure 9.
Step 5 Keeping one hand under the carrier to guide the supervisor engine, carefully slide it into the slot on the Catalyst 5000 series 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 6 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously pivot in both ejector levers, as shown in Figure 9, 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 7 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the module.
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.
Use this procedure to remove and replace an uplink module:
Step 1 If not already removed, remove the supervisor engine from the Catalyst 5000 series 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 10.)
Step 3 Carefully pull the uplink module up and out of the supervisor engine.
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 series switch. See the "Installing the Supervisor Engine" section.
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 series 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 10.)
| 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 series switch. See the "Installing the Supervisor Engine" section.
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.

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:
The Supervisor Engine II G has the following interface ports:
The 10/100BaseTX and 100BaseFX ports operate in full- or half-duplex mode. The 1000BaseSX 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 Series Supervisor Engine Installation Guide.
The 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 port cable connector is shown in Figure 11.
Use SC fiber-optic connectors (see Figure 12) to connect to the 1000BaseSX and 1000BaseLX/LH ports. Use MT-RJ fiber-optic connectors (see Figure 13) to connect to the 100BaseFX (four-port) ports. Always keep caps and plugs on the fiber-optic connectors on the cable and the switch when they are not in use.
 | Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. |
When 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.
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 Status LED on each switching module goes on when initialization is complete, and the console screen displays a script and system banner.
Step 6 Your hardware installation is now complete. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide and Command Reference publication for your switch for complete software configuration instructions.
