Token Ring Interface Processor (TRIP) Installation and Configuration 17
Installation
Step 4
Store the 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 a TRIP” on page 18.
Removing a TRIP
The TRIP supports OIR; therefore, you need not shut down the interface or the system power when
removing a TRIP. If you are replacing a failed TRIP, remove the existing board first, then replace the
new TRIP in the same slot.
Figure 11 shows proper handling of an interface processor for installation in the Cisco 7010 and
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.
To remove a TRIP, follow these steps:
Step 1
Disconnect the all cables from the TRIP ports (if you are moving the TRIP to another port,
this step is not necessary).
Step 2
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at both ends of the TRIP.
(See Figure 10.)
Caution
Always use the ejector levers to remove or install the TRIP. Failure to do so can cause
erroneous system error messages indicating a board failure.

Handling an Interface Processor During Installation and Removal
Step 3
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers and simultaneously pull both of the ejectors
outward (in the opposite direction from that show in Figure 10c) to release the TRIP from
the backplane connector.
Step 4
Use the handle to carefully pull the TRIP straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand
under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 11.) Keep the TRIP parallel to the backplane.
