This document contains instructions for installing (or replacing) the second-generation Channel

Interface Processor (CIP2) in the Cisco 7000 series routers and the Cisco 7500 series routers.

Important Note to Users

The following Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS)

releases support the CIP2: Cisco IOS Release 10.2(13), or later, Release 10.3(13), or later,

Release 11.0(10), or later, or Release 11.1(5) or later.

Prior to these Cisco IOS releases being available, CIP2 is supported with a special microcode image.

This microcode image is available through download from Cisco Connection Online (CCO), on

diskettes shipped with the CIP2 when shipped separately from a system (as a spare), or is already in

Flash memory on a preconﬁgured system. For instructions on placing CIP2 microcode in Flash

memory, see the section "CIP2 Microcode" on page 37.

Once CIP2 microcode has been copied into Flash memory, a conﬁguration command must be

speciﬁed to instruct the Cisco IOS to use this microcode image instead of the microcode image

bundled with your version of the Cisco IOS. For instructions on conﬁguring the Cisco IOS to use a

CIP2 microcode image from Flash memory, refer to the section "Conﬁguring Microcode" on

page 39.

For additional speciﬁc CIP2 software and hardware requirements, refer to the section "Software and

Hardware Prerequisites" on page 13. For complete and detailed descriptions of CIP2-related

interface and conﬁguration commands, conﬁguration options, and requirements, refer to the

publications listed in the section "If You Need More Information" on page 2.

Page 15: Safety Guidelines
Installation Prerequisites Safety Guidelines This section lists safety guidelines you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring. Electrical Equipment Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment: • Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
Page 16 Installation Prerequisites • Handle processor modules by the carrier handles and carrier edges only; never touch the board or any connector pins. • When you remove a processor module, place it card side up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag.
Page 17: Tools And Parts Required
To ensure proper operation of the CIP2, and to preclude system problems, you should use Caution only the CIP2 microcode image that is recommended for the version of Cisco IOS you are running. By default, the CIP2 microcode is loaded from either the ﬂash memory (if you have a 7000 and 7010 with a RP) or the Flash memory card in slot0.

Page 25: Installation
The following sections provide a functional overview of online insertion and removal (OIR), and describe the procedures for installing or replacing CxBus interface processors in Cisco 7000 series routers. Before installing any new interfaces, ensure that your system meets the minimum software and microcode requirements described in the sections “Software and Hardware Prerequisites,”...
Page 26 CIP2 in the same slot to retain the previous conﬁguration for the new channel interface. Figure 15 shows proper handling of an interface processor for installation in the Cisco 7010 or Cisco 7505 models. The processor slots are oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505, and vertically in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513.
Page 27 Figure 16 shows the functions of the ejector levers in the correct orientation for the horizontal processor slots in a Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 chassis. In a Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513 chassis, the function of the ejector levers is the same, but the orientation is rotated 90 degrees clockwise for the vertical processor slots.
Page 28 Installation The function of the ejector levers (see Figure 16) is to align and seat the card connectors in the backplane. Failure to use the ejector levers and insert the interface processor properly can disrupt the order in which the pins make contact with the backplane. Following are examples of incorrect insertion practices and their results: •...
Page 29 The CIP2 slides into any available interface processor slot and connects directly to the backplane of the Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series router. The backplane slots are keyed so that the CIP2 can be installed only in an interface processor slot. (Refer to Figure 8, Figure 10, Figure 12, Figure 13, or Figure 14, depending on your chassis type.) Figure 16 shows the functional details of inserting an...
Page 30 Installation Use a screwdriver to tighten the two captive screws on the interface processor faceplate. Step 7 This prevents the interface processor from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane and ensures proper EMI shielding. (These screws must be tightened to meet EMI speciﬁcations.) Proceed to the next section to attach the bus and tag and/or ESCON cables between the CIP2 interface ports and your channel.
Page 31 Installation Attach the PCA connector of the Y cable to the PCA. (See Figure 17.) Step 2 Figure 17 Connecting or Removing the Y Cable Single PCA PCA connector From host or mainframe (male, dark gray or black) To next control unit or terminator (female, light gray) Attach the female (light-gray) end of the Y cable (see Figure 18a) to the male (dark gray or...

Page 33 Installation This connection technique uses the Y cable and eliminates the requirement for the VA and VB cables from the host and to the next control unit, respectively. A straight-through cable can also be used from the Y cable to the next control unit; however, if no control unit exists, use a terminator.
Page 34 Installation Remove the PCA cable connector (on the Y cable) from the PCA. (See Figure 17.) Step 3 When you are ﬁnished with the task that required you to detach the PCA from the host Step 4 channel, reattach the PCA connector (on the Y cable) to the PCA. Place the select/bypass switch on the PCA connector in select mode.
Page 35: Checking The Installation
Checking the Installation Checking the Installation After you install the CIP2 and cables, verify the installation by observing the LED states and the console display. When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the enabled LED on the CIP2 (and on all interface processors) should go on. The console screen will also display a message as the system discovers each interface during its reinitialization.
Page 36 Checking the Installation When the reinitialization is complete, verify that the enabled LED on the CIP2 goes on and Step 3 remains on. (See Figure 23.) If it does, proceed to Step 7. If it does not, proceed to the following step.
Page 37 Starting with Cisco IOS Release 11.1, or later, CIP2 microcode images are shipped separately from the Cisco IOS software. For new Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers shipped with Cisco IOS Release 11.1, or later, the CIP2 microcode is shipped pre-installed on the Flash memory card.
Page 38 CIP2 Microcode If you have a Cisco 7000 series router and plan to install new software ROMs with Cisco IOS Note Release 11.1 or later, skip Steps 4 and 5 and turn off power to your router. Install the new ROMs, then proceed to Step 6.
Page 39 If you are running anything other than the default CIP2 microcode with your Cisco IOS image Note and you want to upgrade to a later version of Cisco IOS, and want to use the default CIP2 microcode that comes with that later version, you have to remove the microcode cip ﬂash statement from the system conﬁguration ﬁle, otherwise the Cisco IOS will try to load that old version of the CIP2...
