partially seated in the backplane might cause the system to hang and subsequently crash, and shoving or
slamming the interface processor into the slot can damage the backplane pins and board.

Caution
tighten the captive installation screws on each FEIP immediately after you install it and before proceeding
with the installation of each remaining FEIP or other interface processor.
Attaching Fast Ethernet Interface Cables
The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles represent two physical connection options for one port
adapter. Each FEIP has one or two port adapters. On a single port adapter, you can use either the
RJ-45 (or SC for FEIP-1FX or -2FX) connection or the MII connection. You can use the RJ-45 (or
SC for FEIP-1FX or -2FX) connection on one port adapter and the MII connection on the other.
Note
outside commercial cable vendors.
24 Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Configuration
Hold the FEIP handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to
support the FEIP and guide it into the slot. (See Figure 18.) Avoid touching the card or
any connector pins.
To prevent ESD damage, handle interface processors by the handles and carrier edges only.
The processor modules are oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 and
Place the back of the FEIP in the slot and align the notch on the carrier with the groove
in the slot. (See Figure 1.)
While keeping the FEIP parallel to the backplane, carefully slide it into the slot until the
back of the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, then stop. (See Figure 1b.)
Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing processor modules. A module that is
Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until the FEIP is
pushed entirely into its slot. (See Figure 1c.)
Tighten both of the captive installation screws.
To ensure proper electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolation for the chassis, make certain to
