Installing an FEIP
The FEIP slides into the open interface processor slot and connects directly to the backplane. The
interface processors are keyed to guide pins on the backplane, so the FEIP can be installed only in
an interface processor slot.
Note
and Cisco 7513 routers, we recommend that you first install interface processors in the interface
processor slots closest to the RSP slots, whenever possible, then work out to the interface processor
slots furthest from the RSP slots.
Figure 1 shows the functional details of inserting an interface processor and using the ejector levers.
Figure 18 shows proper handling of an interface processor during installation.
Caution
to complete its discovery and initialization before removing or inserting another interface processor.
Disrupting the sequence before the system has completed verification can cause the system to interpret
hardware failures.
Follow these steps to install an FEIP:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface.
If you are replacing a failed FEIP, disconnect all cables from the FEIP ports; however, if
you are only moving an FEIP to another slot, this step is not necessary.
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at both ends of the board.
(See Figure 1.)
Always use the ejector levers to remove or install the FEIP. Failure to do so can cause erroneous
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers and simultaneously pull both of the ejectors
outward (in the opposite direction from that show in Figure 1c) to release the FEIP from
the backplane connector.
Use the board's handle to carefully pull it straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand
under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 18.) Keep the board parallel to the backplane.
Place the removed board on an antistatic mat or foam pad, or place it in an antistatic
container if you plan to return it to the factory.
If the interface processor slot is to remain empty, install a filler (MAS7K-BLANK) to
keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper air flow inside the chassis. Do not
leave the interface processor slot open. Immediately proceed to the section "Installing an
FEIP."
To ensure compliance with EMI approvals by providing a tight EMI seal for the Cisco 7507
Remove or insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system
Ensure that a console terminal is connected to the console port (on the RP, RSP, or
RSP7000) and that your console is turned ON.
