Installing a SPA in a SIP
To install a SPA in a SIP, refer to
and do the following:
Step 1
To insert the SPA in the SIP, locate the guide rails inside the SIP that hold the SPA in place. They are at
the top left and top right of the SPA slot and are recessed about an inch, as shown in
.
Step 2
Carefully slide the SPA all the way in the SIP until the SPA is firmly seated in the SPA interface
connector. When fully seated, the SPA might be slightly behind the SIP faceplate.
Step 3
After the SPA is properly seated, fasten the SPA in place with the captive installation screws.
Removing a SPA from a SIP
To remove a SPA from a SIP, refer to
and do the following:
Step 1
If attached, remove any cables from the SPA.
Step 2
To remove the SPA from the SIP, unfasten the captive installation screws on the SPA.
Step 3
Grasp the handles of the SPA and pull the SPA from the SIP. (You have already disconnected the cables
from the SPA when removing the SIP).
Online Insertion and Removal
Cisco 7600 series router SIPs and SPAs support online insertion and removal (OIR). SPAs can be
inserted or removed independently from the SIP. OIR of a SIP with installed SPAs is also supported.
For more information about performing OIR, refer to the
“Preparing for Online Removal of a SPA”
Optical Device Maintenance
Any contamination of the fiber connection can cause failure of the component or failure of the whole
system. A particle that partially or completely blocks the core generates strong back reflections, which
can cause instability in the laser system. Inspection, cleaning, and reinspection are critical steps to take
before making fiber-optic connections.
Cleaning Optical Devices
See
Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections
for information on cleaning
optical devices.
