Installing an Interface Processor
Interface processors slide into any available interface processor slot and connect directly to the
backplane. The backplane slots are keyed so that interface processors can be installed only in an
interface processor slots. Interface processor fillers, which are blank interface processor carriers,
occupy empty slots to maintain consistent air flow through the interface processor compartment.
If you install a new interface processor, you have to first remove the interface processor filler from
the available interface processor slot. Figure 8 shows functional details of inserting an interface
processor and using ejector levers. (Figure 7 shows proper handling of an interface processor during
installation.)
Note
the interface processor in any available interface processor slot; however, in the Cisco 7507 and
Cisco 7513, we recommend that you install interface processors starting with the slots closest to the
RSPs and work out concentrically from there. This will help prevent electromagnetic interference
(EMI).
Caution
system to complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another interface processor.
Disrupting the sequence before the system completes its verification can cause the system to
interpret this as a hardware failure.
Use the following procedure to install an interface processor:
Step 1
Step 2
Place your thumbs on the upper and lower ejector levers and simultaneously push the top
ejector lever up and the bottom ejector lever down (in the opposite direction from that
shown in Figure 8c) to release an interface processor from the backplane connector.
Grasp the interface processor handle with one hand and place your other hand under the
carrier to guide the interface processor out of the slot. (See Figure 7.) Avoid touching the
board or any connector pins.
Carefully pull the interface processor straight out of the slot, keeping one hand under the
carrier to guide it. (See Figure 7.) Keep the interface processor parallel to the backplane.
Place the removed interface processor on an antistatic mat or foam pad, or place it in an
antistatic bag if you will return it to the factory.
If the interface processor slot is to remain empty, install an interface processor filler
(MAS-7000BLANK=) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow
through the interface processor compartment.
There are no restrictions on slot locations or interface processor sequence, and you can install
Remove or insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the
Ensure that a console terminal is connected to the RP (or RSP) Console port and that the
console is turned on.
Choose an available interface processor slot for the interface processor, and ensure that
the interface processor's cable is of a sufficient length to connect the interface processor
with any external equipment. We recommend that you install interface processors starting
with the slots closest to the RSPs and work out concentrically from there. This will help
prevent EMI.
