Installing the SP Bootflash Memory Upgrade Kit

The SP memory upgrade procedure is divided into the following tasks:

•Verifying the SP ROMMON Version

•Upgrading and Verifying the SP ROMMON Image

•Removing the Supervisor Engine 720

•Installing the CompactFlash Adapter

•Reinstalling the Supervisor Engine 720

If your system has redundant supervisor engines, you need to install the SP memory upgrade on both supervisor engines. To install the SP memory upgrade on both supervisor engines:

•Perform the SP Bootflash memory upgrade procedure on the current standby supervisor engine.

•Perform a manual supervisor engine switchover, switching the upgraded standby supervisor engine to active and the active supervisor engine to standby.

•Perform the SP Bootflash memory upgrade procedure on the current standby supervisor engine.

•If necessary, perform a manual supervisor engine switchover to restore the original redundant supervisor engine configuration.

Verifying the SP ROMMON Version

An SP ROMMON upgrade may be required to support the CompactFlash adapter; you must determine what SP ROMMON release is installed on the Supervisor Engine 720 prior to performing an SP ROMMON upgrade. The minimum SP ROMMON release required is 8.4(2). To determine the currently running SP ROMMON release, enter the remote command switch show version | include ROM command

If your system is running SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2) or a later release, you can continue on to "Removing the Supervisor Engine 720" section. If your SP ROMMON release is earlier than 8.4(2), you must upgrade the SP ROMMON image. Go to the "Upgrading and Verifying the SP ROMMON Image" section.

Upgrading and Verifying the SP ROMMON Image

In order to utilize the SP CompactFlash adapter, your Supervisor Engine 720 must have SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2) or a later release installed on it.

Note The upgrade task description is based on the Supervisor Engine 720 installed in a 9-slot chassis currently running ROMMON from its S (Gold) region; the ROMMON upgrade to support the CompactFlash adapter will be done in the F1 region.

To upgrade your SP ROMMON, perform these steps:

Step 1 Download the latest SP ROMMON (c6ksup3-rm2.srec.8.4.2) from cisco.com and copy it to any of the following locations: sup-bootflash:, bootflash:, disk0:, or disk1: by entering this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cat6000-rommon

Step 2 Display the SP ROMMON image status by entering the show rom-monitor slot 5 sp command

Note The system responds with a message indicating that SP is: "Currently running ROMMON from the S (Gold) region."

Step 3 Verify that the necessary SP ROMMON version is present by entering the dir {sup-bootflash:|bootflash:|disk 0:|disk 1:} command.

Step 4 Upgrade the SP ROMMON image by entering the upgrade rom-monitor slot 5 sp file {sup-bootflash:|bootflash:|disk 0:|disk 1:} c6ksup3-rm2.srec.8.4.2 command.

Note Slot 5 indicates the slot number of the supervisor engine to be upgraded; the supervisor engine can be installed in either slot 5, slot 6, or in both slots.

Reload the switch by entering the reload command. At the prompt, type Y to confirm and press Enter.

Note Do not perform a Reset.

Step 5 Boot the Cisco IOS software from the boot device. At this point the SP ROMMON upgrade process is complete; the next steps are used to verify that the upgrade has been completed correctly.

Step 6 Enter privileged EXEC mode by entering the enable command

Step 7 Display the SP ROMMON image status by entering the show rom-monitor slot 5 sp

Note The system responds with a message indicating that SP is "Currently running ROMMON from F1 region."

Step 8 Verify the SP ROMMON version by entering the remote command switch show version | include ROM command.

Note You should see "ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 8.4(2)."

Removing the Supervisor Engine 720

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

The following tools are required to perform the bootflash upgrade kit installation:

•3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on the supervisor engine

•Antistatic mat or foam pad to support and protect the removed supervisor engine

•Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares

Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029

Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034

Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling the Supervisor Engine 720 or coming in contact with internal components.

To remove the supervisor engine, follow these steps:

Step 1 Power down your system.

Step 2 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the supervisor engine.

Step 3 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, see the "Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap" section for instructions.)

Step 4 Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained.

Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to reinstall the module.

Step 5 Loosen the two captive screws on the supervisor engine that is to be removed.

Step 6 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following two sets of steps:

Horizontal slots

a. Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the supervisor engine from the backplane connector. (See Figure 2.)

b. Grasp the front edge of the supervisor engine, and slide the supervisor engine partially out of the slot. Place your other hand under the supervisor engine to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry. (See Figure 3.)

Vertical slots

a. Place your thumbs on the ejector levers located at the top and bottom of the supervisor engine, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the supervisor engine from the backplane connector.

b. Grasp the edges of the supervisor engine, and slide the supervisor engine straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Step 7 Immediately place the supervisor engine on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

Figure 2 Opening the Ejector Levers (Horizontal Chassis Shown)

Figure 3 Removing the Module from the Chassis (Horizontal Chassis Shown)

Installing the CompactFlash Adapter

To install the CompactFlash adapter, follow these steps:

Step 1 Locate the SP BOOTFLASH DIMM socket on the Supervisor Engine 720. (See Figure 4.) The SP BOOTFLASH DIMM is on the left side of the Supervisor Engine 720 as you face the front of the board; the RP BOOTFLASH DIMM is on the right side of the Supervisor Engine 720 as you face the front of the board.

Note The DIMM is a sensitive component that is susceptible to ESD damage. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD grounding wrist strap and handle the DIMM by the edges only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (including the metal fingers along the connector edge of the DIMM). Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, see the "Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap" section for instructions.)

Figure 4 SP and RP DIMM Locations on the Supervisor Engine 720

Step 2 Release the SP DIMM from the socket by simultaneously releasing the two locking spring clip tabs on either side of the DIMM socket. (See Figure 5, left view.) The DIMM will flip up in the socket. (See Figure 5, right view.)

Step 3 Hold the DIMM by its edges and carefully remove it from the DIMM socket.

Figure 5 Removing the DIMM

Step 4 Immediately place the DIMM in an antistatic bag.

Step 5 Open the antistatic bag containing the SP CompactFlash adapter.

Note The SP CompactFlash adapter has a label attached to the CompactFlash identifying it as the SP CompactFlash adapter.

Step 6 Carefully align the CompactFlash adapter edge connector with the DIMM socket. Slide the CompactFlash adapter edge connector at an angle into the socket. (See Figure 6.)

Note Make sure that the CompactFlash adapter edge connector is fully inserted into the DIMM socket.

Step 7 Press down firmly on both edges of the CompactFlash adapter until the CompactFlash adapter latches into place. Visually verify that both locking spring clips are fully engaged over the edges of the CompactFlash adapter. (See Figure 6.)

Figure 6 Installing the CompactFlash Adapter

You are now ready to reinstall the Supervisor Engine 720 into the switch chassis.

Reinstalling the Supervisor Engine 720

Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps and handle modules by the carrier edges only to avoid ESD damage to the card.

To reinstall the Supervisor Engine 720 in the chassis, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, see the "Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap" section for instructions.)

Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis. This action assures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the removed module.

Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the removed module.

Step 3 Fully open both ejector levers on the supervisor engine that is being installed. (See Figure 7.)

Figure 7 Positioning the Module in a Horizontal Slot Chassis

Step 4 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following two sets of steps:

Horizontal slots

a. Position the supervisor engine in the slot. (See Figure 7.) Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot.

b. Carefully slide the supervisor engine into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the module makes contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 8.)

c. Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and press down to create a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the supervisor engine's EMI gasket and the module above it. (See Figure 8.)

Note Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and be damaged.

d. While pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the supervisor engine in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate. (See Figure 8.)

Note Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.

e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine.

Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.

f. Power up your system.

Note Depending on how your system bootstring is configured, your system might stay in ROMMON. To boot the system from the CF adapter, enter the boot bootdisk: command.
Once you install the CF adapter, you must define the Cisco IOS bootstring as
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:[image name]
With SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2), the bootstring has to be defined as sup-bootdisk:. SP ROMMON releases later than 8.4(2) only accept the bootstring defined as sup-bootflash:.

g. Verify that the Supervisor Engine 720 STATUS LED is lit.
Periodically check the STATUS LED. If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and is now online.
If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the supervisor engine has not successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.

Figure 8 Clearing the EMI Gasket in a Horizontal Slot Chassis

Vertical slots

a. Position the supervisor engine in the slot. (See Figure 9.) Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on the top and bottom of the slot.

b. Carefully slide the supervisor engine into the slot until the EMI gasket along the right edge of the module makes contact with the module in the slot adjacent to it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 10.)

Figure 9 Positioning the Module in a Vertical Slot Chassis

Figure 10 Clearing the EMI Gasket in a Vertical Slot Chassis

c. Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and exert a slight pressure to the left, deflecting it approximately 0.040 inches (1 mm) creating a small gap between the supervisor engine's EMI gasket and the module adjacent to it. (See Figure 10.)

Note Do not exert too much pressure on the ejector levers because they will bend and be damaged.

d. While pressing down on the ejector levers, simultaneously close the levers to fully seat the supervisor engine in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.

e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine.

Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.

f. Power up your system.

Note Depending on how your system bootstring is configured, your system might stay in ROMMON. To boot the system from the CF adapter, enter the boot bootdisk: command.
Once you install the CF adapter, you must define the Cisco IOS bootstring as
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:[image name]
With SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2), the bootstring has to be defined as sup-bootdisk:. SP ROMMON releases later than 8.4(2) only accept the bootstring defined as sup-bootflash:.

g. Verify that the Supervisor Engine 720 STATUS LED is lit. Periodically check the STATUS LED.
If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and is now online.
If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the supervisor engine has not successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.

Removing and Installing the CompactFlash in the CompactFlash Adapter

CompactFlash is normally shipped already installed in the CompactFlash adapter. However, there might be occasions when you will need to replace a defective CompactFlash or swap an existing CompactFlash for a larger capacity device.

To remove the CompactFlash from the adapter, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the Supervisor Engine 720 from the system chassis. See the "Removing the Supervisor Engine 720" section.

Step 2 Place the Supervisor Engine 720 on an antistatic mat.

Caution Do not remove the CompactFlash from the CompactFlash adapter while the adapter is installed in the DIMM socket; you must remove the CompactFlash adapter first.

Step 3 Release the CompactFlash adapter from the DIMM socket by simultaneously releasing the two locking spring clips on either side of the DIMM socket. The CompactFlash adapter will flip up in the socket.

Step 4 Hold the CompactFlash adapter by its edges and carefully remove it from the DIMM socket.

Step 5 Holding the CompactFlash adapter in one hand as shown in Figure 11, grasp the CompactFlash with your other hand (View 1) and carefully and firmly pull the CompactFlash (Views 2 and 3) to disconnect the CompactFlash from the adapter.

Figure 11 Removing the CompactFlash from the Adapter

To install the CompactFlash in the adapter, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the replacement CompactFlash from its packaging.

Step 2 Grasp the empty adapter and the CompactFlash, and position the CompactFlash in front of the adapter as shown in Figure 12, View 1. Align the slots in the CompactFlash with the rails in the adapter.

Step 3 Slide the CompactFlash into the adapter until the CompactFlash is firmly seated in the adapter connector. (See Figure 12, Views 2 and 3.)

Note To make good electrical contact, you must fully insert the adapter's connector pins into the CompactFlash; the pins should not be visible.

Step 4 Install the CompactFlash adapter in the DIMM socket using Step 6 and Step 7 on Page 15.

Step 5 Reinstall the Supervisor Engine 720 in the chassis following the "Reinstalling the Supervisor Engine 720" procedure.

Figure 12 Installing a CompactFlash in the Adapter

Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly handled, results in intermittent or complete failures. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, always use an ESD grounding strap when handling modules.

Follow these guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

•Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it makes maximum contact with bare skin. ESD grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. All Catalyst 6500 series chassis are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) on the front panel. If you have an older Catalyst 6500 series chassis equipped with a plastic banana plug connector, we recommend that you use either the supplied ESD grounding wrist strap (with a metal clip) or an ESD grounding wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip. If you have a newer Catalyst 6500 series chassis that has a bare metal hole as the banana plug connector (also identified by the ground symbol next to the connector), we recommend that you use a personal ESD grounding strap equipped with a banana plug.

•If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most FRUs or an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.

Note This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.

•If your chassis does not have the system ground attached, you must install the system ground lug. Refer to the online Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide for the procedure.

Note You do not need to attach a supplemental system ground wire to the system ground lug; the lug provides a direct path to the bare metal of the chassis.

After you install the system ground lug, you can perform the procedure in this section.

To attach the ESD wrist strap, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and unwrap the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap so that it makes good contact with your bare skin.

b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your bare skin.

Step 2 Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

Step 3 Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows (see Figure 13):

a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws open, position the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.

Note The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or the lug barrel.

b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.

Figure 13 Attaching the ESD Wrist Strap Clip to the System Ground Lug Screw

Module Handling Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when handling modules:

•Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.

•Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

•Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Statement 1029—Blank Faceplates and Cover Panels

Warning	Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement
Waarschuwing	Lege vlakplaten en afdekpanelen vervullen drie belangrijke functies: ze voorkomen blootstelling aan gevaarlijke voltages en stroom binnenin het frame, ze bevatten elektromagnetische storing (EMI) hetgeen andere apparaten kan verstoren en ze leiden de stroom van koellucht door het frame. Het systeem niet bedienen tenzij alle kaarten, vlakplaten en afdekkingen aan de voor- en achterkant zich op hun plaats bevinden.
Varoitus	Tyhjillä tasolaikoilla ja suojapaneeleilla on kolme tärkeää käyttötarkoitusta: Ne suojaavat asennuspohjan sisäisille vaarallisille jännitteille ja sähkövirralle altistumiselta; ne pitävät sisällään elektromagneettisen häiriön (EMI), joka voi häiritä muita laitteita; ja ne suuntaavat tuuletusilman asennuspohjan läpi. Järjestelmää ei saa käyttää, elleivät kaikki tasolaikat, etukannet ja takakannet ole kunnolla paikoillaan.
Attention	Ne jamais faire fonctionner le système sans que l'intégralité des cartes, des plaques métalliques et des panneaux avant et arrière ne soient fixés à leur emplacement. Ceux-ci remplissent trois fonctions essentielles : ils évitent tout risque de contact avec des tensions et des courants dangereux à l'intérieur du châssis, ils évitent toute diffusion d'interférences électromagnétiques qui pourraient perturber le fonctionnement des autres équipements, et ils canalisent le flux d'air de refroidissement dans le châssis.
Warnung	Blanke Faceplates und Abdeckungen haben drei wichtigen Funktionen: (1) Sie schützen vor gefährlichen Spannungen und Strom innerhalb des Chassis; (2) sie halten elektromagnetische Interferenzen (EMI) zurück, die andere Geräte stören könnten; (3) sie lenken den kühlenden Luftstrom durch das Chassis. Das System darf nur betrieben werden, wenn alle Karten, Faceplates, Voder- und Rückabdeckungen an Ort und Stelle sind.
Avvertenza	Le piattaforme bianche e i panelli di protezione hanno tre funzioni importanti: Evitano l'esposizione a voltaggi e correnti elettriche pericolose nello chassis, trattengono le interferenze elettromagnetiche (EMI) che potrebbero scombussolare altri apparati e dirigono il flusso di aria per il raffreddamento attraverso lo chassis. Non mettete in funzione il sistema se le schede, le piattaforme, i panelli frontali e posteriori non sono in posizione.
Advarsel	Blanke ytterplater og deksler sørger for tre viktige funksjoner: de forhindrer utsettelse for farlig spenning og strøm inni kabinettet; de inneholder elektromagnetisk forstyrrelse (EMI) som kan avbryte annet utstyr, og de dirigerer luftavkjølingsstrømmen gjennom kabinettet. Betjen ikke systemet med mindre alle kort, ytterplater, frontdeksler og bakdeksler sitter på plass.
Aviso	As faces furadas e os painéis de protecção desempenham três importantes funções: previnem contra uma exposição perigosa a voltagens e correntes existentes no interior do chassis; previnem contra interferência electromagnética (EMI) que poderá danificar outro equipamento; e canalizam o fluxo do ar de refrigeração através do chassis. Não deverá operar o sistema sem que todas as placas, faces, protecções anteriores e posteriores estejam nos seus lugares.
¡Advertencia!	Las placas frontales y los paneles de relleno cumplen tres funciones importantes: evitan la exposición a niveles peligrosos de voltaje y corriente dentro del chasis; reducen la interferencia electromagnética (EMI) que podría perturbar la operación de otros equipos y dirigen el flujo de aire de enfriamiento a través del chasis. No haga funcionar el sistema a menos que todas las tarjetas, placas frontales, cubiertas frontales y cubiertas traseras estén en su lugar.

Tomma framplattor och skyddspaneler har tre viktiga funktioner: de förhindrar att personer utsätts för farlig spänning och ström som finns inuti chassit; de innehåller elektromagnetisk interferens (EMI) som kan störa annan utrustning; och de styr riktningen på kylluftsflödet genom chassit. Använd inte systemet om inte alla kort, framplattor, fram- och bakskydd är på plats.
Aviso	Plaquetas vazias e painéis de proteção têm três funções importantes: impedem a exposição a tensões e correntes elétricas perigosas dentro do chassi; apresentam interferência eletromagnética (EMI) que pode danificar outros equipamentos: direcionam o fluxo do ar refrigerado pelo chassi. Não opere o sistema a menos que todas as placas, plaquetas, tampas frontais e tampas traseiras estejam em seu devido lugar.
Advarsel	Blanke frontplader og sidepaneler tjener tre vigtige formål: de forhinder udsættelse for farlig spænding og strøm inde i chassiset, de isolerer elektromagnetisk interferens (EMI), der kan forstyre andet udstyr, og de leder en strøm af kølig luft gennem chassiset. Betjen ikke systemet medmindre alle kort, frontplader, sidepaneler og bagpaneler er på plads.
