Cisco XR 12000 Series Router SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter 5 Installing and Removing a Shared Port Adapter
Checking the Installation
•
Remove the SIP from the router.
•
Remove the SPA from the SIP.
•
Inspect the SIP and the SPA. Verify there are no bent pins or parts and that there is nothing lodged
in the two devices that could prevent a good connection.
•
Insert the SPA in the SIP by sliding the SPA all the way in the SIP until the SPA is firmly seated in
the SPA interface connector. When fully seated in the SIP, the SPA might be slightly behind the SIP
faceplate.
•
Insert the SIP into the router.
•
After the system reinitialization, the ENABLED LED on the SPA should go on and remain on. If the
ENABLED LED remains on, proceed to
.
Step 4
If the ENABLED LED on a SPA still fails to go on, remove the SIP and install it in another available slot
on the router.
•
If the ENABLED LED goes on, suspect a failed backplane port in the original slot.
•
If the ENABLED LED fails to go on, remove the SIP and ensure the SPA is firmly seated in its slot.
Remove and reinstall it accordingly.
•
If the ENABLED LED still fails to go on, but other LEDs on the SIP SPA go on to indicate activity,
proceed to
to resume the installation checkout; suspect that the ENABLED LED on the SPA
has failed. Contact a service representative to report the problem and obtain further instructions.
•
If no LEDs on the SPA go on:
–
Verify that the SPA is supported on the SIP and that it has the required hardware revision. If the
SPA is not supported or has an old hardware revision, the
show diag
command indicates that
the SIP is deactivated.
–
Suspect a faulty SIP. Contact a service representative to report the problem and obtain further
instructions.
Step 5
If the SPA is new and is not a replacement, configure the new SPA using
Cisco xxxx Series Router SIP
and SPA Software Configuration Guide
.
Note
New interfaces are not available until you configure them.
Step 6
If the SIP is a replacement, use the
show interfaces
type slot-number/port-number
command or the
show controllers
command to verify the status of the SPAs. (See the
“Using show Commands to Verify
SIP and SPA Status” section on page 5-5
If you replaced a SIP with another SIP with a different SPA installed, the system recognizes the
interfaces on the previously configured SPA but does not recognize the new SPA interfaces. The new
interfaces remain in the shutdown state until you configure them.
Step 7
When the interfaces are up, check the activity of each SPA by observing the status LEDs.
Step 8
If an interface LED fails to go on and a cable is connected to the interface port, check the cable
connection and make certain it is properly seated in the connector.
Step 9
Repeat
through
to verify that any additional MSCs are properly installed.
If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact TAC (see the
Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section on page -xii
in the
) or a service
representative for assistance.
