Front Panel Description

LEDs

When the AON module powers up, it initializes the various hardware components and communicates with the supervisor engine. The Status LED indicates the supervisor engine operations and the initialization results. During the normal initialization sequence, the status LED changes from off to red, orange, and green.

Note For more information on the supervisor engine LEDs, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide.

Table 1 AON Module LEDs
LED	Color	Description
Status	Off	•The module is waiting for the supervisor engine to provide power. •The module is not online. •The module is not receiving power, which could be caused by the following: –Power is not available to the AON module. –The module temperature is over the limit¹.
	Red	•The module is released from reset by the supervisor engine and is booting. •If the boot code fails to run, the LED stays red after power up.
	Orange	•The module is initializing hardware or communicating with the supervisor engine. •A fault occurred during the initialization sequence. •The module has failed to download its Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) image on power up but continues with the remainder of the initialization sequence and provides the module online status from the supervisor engine. •The module has not received module online status from the supervisor engine. This problem could be caused by the supervisor engine detecting a failure in an internal loopback test that it issued to the AON module.
	Green	•The module is operational; the supervisor engine has provided module online status.
	Green to orange	•The module is disabled through the supervisor engine CLI ² using the set module disable mod command.

¹Enter the show environment temperature mod command to display the temperature of each of the four sensors on the AON module.

²CLI = command-line interface.

•

Supervisor Engine 720 or Supervisor Engine 2 with a PFC2 or an MSFC2 with the Cisco IOS and the Catalyst operating system

For more information, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide at http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/home/home.htm.

For the AON software installation and configuration instructions, refer to the AON Installation and Administration Guide.

Memory Requirements

Hardware Supported

Before you can use the AON module, you must have a a Policy Feature Card (PFC), Supervisor Engine 720 with an MSFC3 or Supervisor Engine 2 with an MSFC2, and any module that has ports to connect to the server and client networks.

Power Supply

You can place the AON module in any slot in the Catalyst 6500 series chassis except for slot one. The AON module operates on power that is supplied by the chassis.

Software Requirements

The AON module is supported on Cisco IOS Release 12.2(17d)SXB7. The module is also supported on Cisco IOS Release 12.(18)SXE1 with the Catalyst operating system software release 8.4(2a).

Installing the Module

Preparing to Install the Module

Before installing the AON module, make sure that the following items are available:

•

Management station that is available through a Telnet or a console connection to perform the configuration tasks

Required Tools

These tools are required to install the AON module in the Catalyst 6500 series switches:

Whenever you handle the AON module, always use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Installing and Removing the Module

All Catalyst 6500 series switches support hot swapping, which allows you to install, remove, replace, and rearrange the modules without turning off the system power. For more information on removing the AON module from a switch, see the "Removing the Module" section.

When the switch detects that a module has been installed or removed, the system automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines, acknowledges the presence or absence of the module, and resumes system operation.

These sections describe how to install and verify the operation of the AON module in the Catalyst 6500 series switches:

Slot Assignments

•

Slot 2 can be used for a redundant supervisor engine if the supervisor engine in slot 1 fails.

•

If a redundant supervisor engine is not required, slots 2 through 6 on the 6-slot chassis, slots 2 through 9 on the 9-slot chassis, and slots 2 through 13 on the 13-slot chassis are available for switching modules, such as the AON module.

•

The empty slots require filler panels, which are blank switching-module carriers that maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.

Removing the Module

This section describes how to remove an existing module from a Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis.

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.

Note Before removal, power down the module using the no power enable module slot_number command for the Cisco IOS system software or use the set module power down slot_number command for the Catalyst Operating System software.

Step 1

Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.

This step assures that the space that is created by the removed module is maintained.

Note

If the captive installation screws are loose, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the replacement module.

Step 3

Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following sets of substeps:

Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

Grasp the front edge of the module, and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Place your thumbs on the ejector levers that are located at the top and bottom of the module, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

Grasp the edges of the module, and slide the module straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Step 4

Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.

Step 5

If the slot from which you removed the module is to remain empty, install a module filler panel to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the chassis.

Warning Blank faceplates (filler 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 and faceplates are in place.

Installing a Module

This section describes how to install a module in the Catalyst 6500 series switch.

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.

Step 2

Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the module ports. If possible, place the modules between the empty slots that contain only the module filler panels.

Step 3

Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.

This action ensures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed to maximize the opening space for the replacement module.

Note

If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the replacement module.

Step 4

Remove the module filler panel by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler panel. (To remove a module, refer to the "Removing the Module" section.)

Step 5

Fully open both ejector levers on the new or replacement module. (See Figure 2.)

Step 6

Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following sets of substeps:

Position the module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot. (See Figure 2.)

Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the module makes contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 3.)

Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and press down to create a small (0.040 inch [1 mm]) gap between the EMI gasket and the module above it. (See Figure 3.)

While pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate. (See Figure 4.)

Note

Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.

Note

Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.

Position the module in the slot. (See Figure 5.) Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on the top and bottom of the slot.

Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the right edge of the module makes contact with the module in the slot adjacent to it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 6.)

Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and exert a slight pressure to the left, deflecting the module approximately 0.040 inches (1 mm) to create a small gap between the modules EMI gasket and the module adjacent to it. (See Figure 6.)

While pressing on the ejector levers, simultaneously close them to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate. (See Figure 7.)

Note

Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.

Verifying the Installation

When you install the module into the Catalyst 6500 series switch, the module goes through a startup sequence that requires no intervention. At the successful conclusion of the startup sequence, the green Status LED will light and remain on. If the Status LED does not show green, or if it shows a different color, refer to Table 1 to determine the modules status.

For software installation and configuration instructions, refer to the AON Installation and Administration Guide.

Using the CLI

The software interface for the module is the Cisco IOS and the Catalyst operating system command-line interface accessed through a Telnet connection to the switch or through the switch console interface. Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide and the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide for details.

To understand the Cisco IOS command-line interface and Cisco IOS command modes, refer to Chapter 2, "Command-Line Interfaces," in the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.

To understand the Catalyst operating system command-line interface and Catalyst operating system command modes, refer to Chapter 2, "Command-Line Interfaces," in the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Configuration Guide.

You can session into the module from the switch console and configure the module. The session is a Telnet interface through the Ethernet out-of-band channel (EOBC) of the switch backplane.
