Second-Generation Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP2) Installation and Configuration 23

FEIP2 Installation

The following sections describe the procedures for removing or installing an FEIP2 in the Cisco

7000 series or Cisco 7500 series routers. The functionality is the same for each router model;

therefore, the term the chassis is used except where speciﬁc model issues arise.

The online insertion and removal function allows you to install and remove an FEIP2 without ﬁrst

shutting down the system; however, you must follow the instructions carefully. Failure to insert the

FEIP2 properly can cause system error messages indicating a board failure. For a complete

description of recommended guidelines for interface processor installation and removal, refer to the

section “Guidelines for Interface Processor Installation and Removal” on page 7.

Each unused interface processor slot must contain an interface processor ﬁller (which is an interface

processor carrier without an interface board) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper

air ﬂow through the interface processor compartment. If you are installing a new FEIP2 that is not a

replacement, you must ﬁrst remove the interface processor ﬁller from an unused slot; to do so

proceed to the next section “Removing an Interface Processor or Interface Processor Filler.” If you

are replacing an FEIP2, proceed to the section “Removing an FEIP2.”

Note To ensure compliance with EMI approvals by providing a tight EMI-preventive seal for the

Cisco 7507 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. (See Figure 5, on page 14, for the Cisco 7507; see

Figure 6, on page 15, for the Cisco 7513.)

Removing an Interface Processor or Interface Processor Filler

If you plan to replace a currently installed interface processor with an FEIP2, attach an

ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface; interface processor

ﬁllers do not require protection from ESD. Select an interface processor slot for the new FEIP2 and

remove the interface processor or interface processor ﬁller as follows:

Step 1 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws on the interface processor or

interface processor ﬁller. (See Figure 1.)

Step 2 Place your thumbs on both ejector levers and simultaneously pull them both outward to

release the ﬁller from the backplane connector (in the opposite direction from that shown

in Figure 1c).

Step 3 Grasp the handle with one hand and pull the card straight out of the slot, keeping your

other hand under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 18.) Keep the carrier parallel to the

backplane.

Step 4 Store the interface processor or interface processor ﬁller for future use.

To help prevent dust and contaminants from entering the chassis, do not leave the interface processor

slot open. Immediately proceed to the section “Installing an FEIP2” on page 25.
