Cisco SwitchProbe Interface
Installation Instructions

This document describes the procedure for installing interfaces in small (PB6), large (PB7), and front-access (PB8) SwitchProbe devices.

This document includes the following sections:

Document Conventions

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.
Caution Means reader be careful. In this situation, you might do something that could result in equipment damage or loss of data.

General Safety Warnings

To see translations of the warnings that appear in this document, see the appendix "Translated Safety Warnings" in the Cisco SwitchProbe Installation and Configuration Guide.

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Warning Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.
Warning Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.
Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Electrostatic Discharge Wrist Strap Instructions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the release of stored static electricity that can damage electrical circuitry. Static electricity is often stored in your body, and discharged when you come in contact with an object with a different potential. The ESD wrist strap safely channels this electricity from your body to a proper ground.

Warning Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.
Caution The SwitchProbe device is no longer grounded after you remove the power supply. Therefore, you must ground to something other than the chassis, such as a different chassis or another piece of equipment that is plugged in and grounded. Make sure the equipment having a grounding type plug is properly grounded.

You must use an ESD wrist strap whenever you open a chassis, particularly when you handle circuit cards and appliques. To work properly, the wrist strap must make good contact at both ends—with your skin at one end, and with a proper ground at the other.

Attaching the ESD Wrist Strap

To use the ESD wrist strap correctly, follow these steps:


Step 1   Ensure that the equipment is properly grounded.

Caution Make certain that you are not in contact with grounded objects other than through the wrist strap.

Step 2   Turn the chassis power switch OFF.

Step 3   Unplug the power cord.

Step 4   Make sure the wrist strap is grounded.

Step 5   Remove the wrist strap from the bag and note the following:

Step 6   Snap the cable fastener at the end of the coiled ground cord onto the wrist band.

Caution A one megaohm resistor is located in the wrist strap ground cord. Do not remove the resistor. If it becomes damaged, replace the ground cord immediately.

Step 7   Slip the wrist band firmly around your wrist for a snug fit.

Step 8   Connect the alligator clip to the device that you are using as a ground.

Installing Interfaces in Small (PB6) SwitchProbe Devices

Figures 1 and 2 show the front and rear panels of a small (PB6) SwitchProbe device.


Figure 1: Front Panel—Small (PB6) SwitchProbe Device



Figure 2:
Rear Panel—Small (PB6) SwitchProbe Device


To install interfaces in a PB6 device, follow these steps:

Warning During this procedure, wear a grounding wrist strap 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.

Step 1   Put on the ESD wrist strap, following the instructions in "Electrostatic Discharge Wrist Strap Instructions" on page 5.

Step 2   Turn the chassis power switch OFF.

Step 3   Remove all cables from the back of the chassis, including the power cable.

Step 4   Turn the chassis upside-down.

Step 5   Remove the four screws located near the edges of the chassis (Figure 3).

Step 6   Set the screws aside for later reassembly.


Figure 3: Removing Screws from Small (PB6) Chassis


Step 7   Turn the device right-side up.

Step 8   Remove the top cover by moving it upward and away from the back panel.

Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.

Step 9   Disconnect the green/yellow ground wire from the power supply.

Step 10   Remove the power supply by removing the four screws (Figure 4).


Figure 4: Removing Power Supply from Small (PB6) SwitchProbe Device


Step 11   Place the power supply to the side of the chassis, using care not to stress the existing wiring.

Step 12   Insert the interface card into slot 3 of the device.

Step 13   Secure the interface card into the chassis.

Step 14   Place the module support bracket onto the power supply (Figure 5) to support the interface card you installed in slot 3.


Figure 5: Module Support Bracket on Ethernet Interface


Step 15   Rotate the power supply so that the cables protrude from the side facing you.

Step 16   Insert the two feet of the module support bracket into the holes in the power supply farthest from the electrical input/output. (Insert the bracket so that the notch is closer to the top edge.)

Step 17   Return the power supply to its original location inside the chassis.

Step 18   Use the original hardware to connect the power supply to the device.

Step 19   Secure the green/yellow ground wire to the power supply, closest to the inside of the device.

Step 20   Reassemble the unit.

Step 21   Remove the ESD wrist strap.

Step 22   Power up the unit to verify successful boot sequence.

Step 23   Place the new "Warranty Void if Seal is Broken" label over the old, torn label.

Step 24   Place the interface card label (provided with the kit) beside the new interface you installed in slot 3.
