Safety Recommendations

Safety RecommendationsSafety warnings appear throughout this note in procedures that, if performed incorrectly, may harmyou. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.

Warning This warning symbol means danger . You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury.Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry andbe familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. To see translations of the warnings thatappear in this publication, refer to the appendix Translated Safety Warnings in the Catalyst 5000Series Supervisor Engine Installation Guide .

Ensuring SafetyThis section covers the following topics:

Following Basic Electrical Safety Guidelines, page 6 Preventing ESD Damage, page 7Use the following guidelines to ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list does notinclude all potentially hazardous situations during installation, so be alert .

Note Power supplies in the Catalyst 5002 switch do not have on/off switches.

Warning Only trained and qualied personnel should install, replace, or service this equipment.

Always turn all power supplies off (the position marked zero), and unplug all power cords beforeinstalling or removing a chassis.

Keep the chassis area clear and free of dust during and after installation.

Keep tools and chassis components off the oor and away from foot trafc. Avoid wearing jewelry and securely fasten any loose clothing that could get caught in the chassis.

Warning Beforeworking on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (includingrings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground andcan cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national lawsand regulations.

Following Basic Electrical Safety GuidelinesWhen working with electrical equipment, exercise these basic safety guidelines:

Never install equipment that appears to be damaged. Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working before beginning

any procedures that require access to the chassis interior.

Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a chassis. Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

Removing and Replacing the Supervisor Engine

Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check. Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment

unsafe.

Examine your work area carefully for possible hazards such as moist oors, ungrounded powerextension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Preventing ESD DamageESD damage occurs when electronic modules or components are improperly handled and can resultin complete or intermittent failures. To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:

Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact. When handling modules or coming into contact with any internal components, always use a wrist

strap connected to one of the following: Captive installation screws on an installed module or power supply

ESD wrist strap connector

Any unpainted surface on the chassis

Handle modules by the edges only. Avoid contact between the modules and clothing. The wrist strap protects only the module from

ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

After removing a supervisor engine, place it on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag.If you plan to return the module to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.

Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should bebetween 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).


Note To support supervisor engine redundant operation, both the supervisor engines must beSupervisor Engine III Gs.

Note Catalyst 5505, Catalyst 5509, and Catalyst 5500 switches When two supervisor enginesare installed, hot swapping allows you to remove and replace one of the supervisor engines withoutturning off the system power.

Avoiding Problems When Inserting and Removing ModulesThe ejector levers on the supervisor engine align and seat the supervisor engine connectors in thebackplane. (See Figure 3 .) If you fail to use the ejector levers to insert the supervisor engine, you candisrupt the order in which the pins make contact with the backplane. When removing a supervisor

8/6/2019 Catalyst 5505

engine, use the ejector levers to ensure that the supervisor engine connector pins disconnect from thebackplane properly. Any supervisor engine or switching supervisor engine that is only partiallyconnected to the backplane can disrupt the system.

Figure 3 Ejector Levers and Captive Instal lation Screws

Removing the Supervisor EngineBefore you remove a supervisor engine, you should rst upload the current conguration to a server.This saves time when bringing the supervisor engine back online. Enter the write networkcommand to upload the conguration le to the network. Enter the copy command to download thecurrent conguration to a Flash memory device on the new supervisor engine.

To remove the supervisor engine from the switch, follow these steps:

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle switching modules by the carrier edges only.

Caution When removing or inserting a switching module, always wear an ESD wrist strapconnected to the Catalyst 5000 series switch ESD wrist strap connector.

Step 1 Take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage, as described in the PreventingESD Damage section on page 7.

Step 2 If you do not plan to immediately reinstall the supervisor engine you are removing,disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module ports.

Step 3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of themodule.

Step 4 Grasp the left and right ejector levers. Simultaneously pull the left lever to the left and theright lever to the right to release the module from the backplane connector.

Step 5 Grasp the handle of the module with one hand and place your other hand under the carrierto support and guide the module out of the slot. Avoid touching the module itself.

Step 6 Carefully pull the module straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under thecarrier to guide it. Keep the module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane.

Step 7 Place the removed supervisor engine on an antistatic mat, foam, or bag.

Installing the Supervisor Engine

Step 8 If the slot is to remain empty, install a module ller plate to keep dust out of the chassisand to maintain proper airow through the module compartment.

Caution Always install a switching module ller plate in empty switching module slots to maintain theproper ow of cooling air across the modules.

Note When you remove and replace the supervisor engine, the system provides status messages ontheconsole screen. The messages are for information only. Enter the show system and showmodulecommands to view specic information. Foradditional information, refer to the Catalyst 5000 SeriesSoftware Conguration Guide and the Catalyst 5000 Series Command Reference publication.

Installing the Supervisor EngineWhen installing the supervisor engine, note that it must go in a specic slot:

Catalyst 5000slot 1 Catalyst 5505, 5509, and Catalyst 5500slot 1 (if a second, redundant supervisor is installed, it

goes in slot 2)

Catalyst 5002slot 1To install the supervisor engine, follow these steps:

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle switching modules by the carrier edges only.

Caution When removing or inserting a switching module, always wear an ESD wrist strapconnected to the Catalyst 5000 series switch ESD wrist strap connector.

Step 1 Take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage, as described in the PreventingESD Damage section on page 7.

Step 2 To install the supervisor engine, hold the front panel with one hand, and place your otherhand under the carrier to support the supervisor engine. Do not touch the printed circuitboards or connector pins.

Step 3 Align the edges of the supervisor engine carrier with the slot guides on the sides of theswitch chassis.

Step 4 Pivot the two module ejector levers out away from the faceplate. The ejector levers areshown pivoted out in Figure 4 .

Figure 4 Module Ejector Lever Operation

Step 5 Keeping one hand under the carrier to guide the supervisor engine, carefully slide it intothe slot on the Catalyst 5000 series switch until the ejector levers click into place on thechassis. Be sure to keep the module horizontal to the backplane and avoid touching anyof the components on the module.

Step 6 Using the thumb and forenger of each hand, simultaneously pivot in both ejector levers,as shown in Figure 4 , to fully seat the switching module in the backplane connector.

Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing switching modules. A modulethat is partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to halt and subsequently crash.

Step 7 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the module.

Connecting a Terminal to the Console PortConnect the terminal using a thin, at, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable (looks like a telephone cable) and anRJ-45-to-DB-9, RJ-45-to-D-subminiature female, or RJ-45-to-D-subminiature male adapter.

Note An RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable and adapters are provided in the console port accessory kit shippedwith your Supervisor Engine III.

Connecting to the Interface Ports

Connecting to the Interface PortsThe Supervisor Engine III G has two GBICs with 1000BaseSX MMF connectors, 1000BaseLX/LHMMF and SMF connectors, or 1000BaseZX connectors (see Figure 5 ).

The 1000BaseSX MMF, 1000Base LX/LH MMF and SMF, and 1000BaseZX ports operate infull-duplex mode only.

For information on interface cables and equipment, such as Ethernet transceivers, refer to theCatalyst 5000 Series Supervisor Engine Installation Guide .

1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX/LH, and 1000BaseZX (Single-Mode or MultimodeFiber-Optic Connectors)

Use SC ber-optic connectors (see Figure 5 ) to connect to the 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX/LH, and1000BaseZX ports. Always keep caps and plugs on the ber-optic connectors on the cable and theswitch when they are not in use.

Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when nocable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.

Figure 5 SC Fiber-Optic Connector Type

Connecting Gigabit Ethernet ModulesSupervisor Engine III G has Gigabit Ethernet ports that you can congure with any combination of

GBICs. A GBIC, shown in Figure 6 , is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into themodule, linking the module with the ber-optic network. GBIC types are listed in Table 4 .

Connecting Gigabit Ethernet Modules

Figure 6 GBIC

Note Cisco 1000BaseLX/LH interfaces fully comply with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BaseLX standard.However, the 1000BaseLX/LH has a higher optical quality, allowing link distances of 10 km overSMF versus the 5 km specied in the standard.

Note A maximum of 12 1000BaseZX GBICs can be installed in a switch chassis.

The GBIC slides through an opening in the front of the Gigabit Ethernet module and mates with aconnector on the module. (See Figure 7 .)

Figure 7 Installing a GBIC (WS-X5403 shown)

Use a SC-type single-mode (ber) connector, shown in Figure 5 , to connect the Gigabit Ethernetmodule ports with the external network. Connect the Gigabit Ethernet interface cables to theappropriate Ethernet network connector.

When using the LX/LH GBIC with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install amode-conditioning patch cord (Cisco product number CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) between theGBIC and the MMF cable on both the transmit and receive ends of the link. The patch cord isrequired for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m). Refer to the Catalyst 5000 SeriesSupervisor Engine Installation Guide for more information on patch cords.

Verifying System Operation

Note The mode-conditioning patch cord is required to comply with IEEE standards. The IEEEfound that link distances could not be met with certain types of ber-optic cable due to a problem inthe center of some ber-optic cable cores. The solution is to launch light from the laser at a preciseoffset from the center by using the mode-conditioning patch cord. At the output of the patch cord,

the LX/LH GBIC is compliant with IEEE 802.3z standard for 1000BaseLX.

Verifying System OperationWhen all interfaces are connected, check all connections, and then follow these steps to verify thatthe switch is operational:

Step 1 Check the console terminal and make sure it is on.

Step 2 Verify that the appropriate PS1 and PS2 LEDs on the supervisor engine front panel aregreen.

Step 3 While the system initializes, check that the SYSTEM STATUS LED on the supervisor

engine is orange until the boot is complete.Step 4 Some interface LEDs might go on or blink for a short time. Some LEDs, such as the Link

LED, stay on during the entire boot process. If an interface is already congured, theLEDs might be on steadily as they detect trafc on the line. Wait until the system boot iscomplete before attempting to verify the switching module LED indications.

Note Catalyst 5505, Catalyst 5509, and Catalyst 5500 If you have a redundantsupervisor engine, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Series Installation Guide for a detaileddescription of supervisor engine operation in a redundant conguration. By default, thesupervisor engine in slot 1 is the active supervisor; the second supervisor in slot 2 is thestandby supervisor.

Note Many of the switching module LEDs are not on until you congure the interfaces.

Step 5 When the system boot is complete (it takes a few seconds), the supervisor engine beginsto initialize the switching modules.

During this initialization, the LEDs on each switching module behave differently (mostash on and off). The Status LED on each switching module goes on when initializationis complete, and the console screen displays a script and system banner.

Note When switching module LEDs are on, this does not necessarily mean that theinterface ports are functional or enabled. Although the LEDs for many interface types goon at the initial system startup, they do not indicate an accurate status until the interfaceis congured. For detailed module-specic LED descriptions, refer to the Catalyst 5000Series Module Installation Guide .
