To install line cards and RPMs:
Step
Task
Remove the line card from its box and carefully remove the line card from the anti-static packaging.
1
Align the RPM with the guide and gently slide it into the slot until you feel the connectors engage with the chassis
2
backplane.
NOTE:
Hold the card by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins. Extend the
ejector levers before you insert the card into the slot.
Remove the card from the box. Remove the card from the anti-static bag.
3
Rotate the levers to seat the card in place.
4
Secure card and blanks in place by tightening the top and captive screws on each card.
5
Follow the same installation procedure for the remaining cards and slots, in the appropriate order.
6
NOTE: The blank panels do not have board components or connector pins. Align the blank with the guides
and gently slide toward the backplane.
Installing a Second RPM
NOTE: If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must contain the same software image.
Install a second RPM either before the system is powered on or after the Primary RPM is up and stable.
After the second RPM is installed, wait several seconds until the connection between the two RPMs is
established before configuring any commands. Below is an example of the messages that should appear:
%POLLMGR-2-ALT_RPM_STATE: Alternate RPM is present
%IRC-6-IRC_COMMUP: Link to peer RPM is up
%RAM-6-RAM_TASK: RPM1 is in Standby State.
Once the link between the two RPMs is established, copy the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
RPM Label and LEDs
Table 9-1
describes the RPM LED states and the RPM front panel.RPMs control the routing and
switching functions for the entire E600/E1200 system. The E600/E1200 operates with a minimum of one
RPM module. You can hot-insert a second RPM into a running system without performance interruption
or software intervention. A second RPM for redundant functionality provides uninterrupted operability if
the system transitions from the primary RPM to the secondary (standby) RPM. The secondary RPM
constantly performs updates and receives the same information received by the primary RPM. The
secondary RPM also performs diagnostics on its subsystems. In the event of a switchover, the secondary
RPM immediately takes over and resumes the control activities that the primary RPM was performing.
