Agency Approvals The microcode boot image in the PROM initializes the VIP4 and then assists downloading the VIP4 microcode image. All interfaces of the same type (VIP4, and so on) will load the same microcode image, either from the microcode image bundled with the Cisco IOS or from an image stored in system Flash memory. Although multiple microcode versions for a specific interface type can be stored concurrently in Flash memory, only one image can load at startup.

(See Figure 3.
VIP4 Installation Procedures Handling Interface Processors—Vertical Orientation Shown H1355a Figure 3 Caution Failure to use the ejector levers and insert the interface processor properly can disrupt the order in which the pins make contact with the card or interface processor. This may cause the system to interpret a board failure. Removing a VIP4 This section describes the procedure for removing a VIP4, an interface processor, or an interface processor filler, and replacing it with a new VIP4.
VIP4 Installation Procedures If your router does not have the HSA or HA feature enabled, perform only Step 4 through Step 7 in the following procedure. If the router has the HSA or HA feature enabled with an RSP2 configured as the system standby, we recommend that you perform all the steps in the following procedure: Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface. Step 2 Remove the standby RSP2. Step 3 Wait 20 to 30 seconds.
VIP4 Installation Procedures Note To ensure compliance with EMI approvals by providing a tight EMI seal for the Cisco 7500 and the Cisco 7000 routers, we recommend that you first install interface processors in the interface processor slots closest to the RSP slots, and then work out to the interface processor slots furthest from the RSP slots.
Checking the VIP4 Installation This completes the procedure for installing a VIP4 in a Cisco 7500 series or Cisco 7000 series router. (For the procedures for installing or removing a port adapter on your VIP4, see the “Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP4” section on page 35.
Checking the VIP4 Installation Note The VIP4 has no LEDs that are visible or usable when the VIP4 is installed. The port adapters you install on the VIP4 have status and interface LEDs. When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the enabled LED on the VIP4 port adapters and on all interface processors should go on, depending on your connections and configuration. The console screen also displays a message as the system discovers each interface during its reinitialization.
Checking the VIP4 Installation Step 3 If the enabled LED on a port adapter fails to go on, suspect that the VIP4 board connector is not fully seated in the backplane. Loosen the captive installation screws, and then firmly push both ejector levers into place until they are approximately in the same orientation as the VIP4 faceplate. Tighten the captive installation screws. After the system reinitializes the interfaces, the enabled LED on the port adapter should go on. If it does, proceed to Step 5.
Checking the VIP4 Installation Using show Commands to Verify the VIP4 Status The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and operating correctly. Step 1 Use the show version command to display the system hardware configuration. Ensure that the list includes the new interfaces. Step 2 Display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers command. Verify that the new VIP4 appears in the correct interface processor slot.

VIP4 Maintenance Procedures Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. The ping command allows you to verify that an interface port is functioning properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on the network. After you verify that the system and VIP4 have booted successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of the VIP4 interface ports.
VIP4 Maintenance Procedures Note Software and interface processor microcode images are carefully optimized and bundled to work together. Overriding the Cisco IOS software bundle can result in system incompatibilities. We recommend that you use the microcode included in the Cisco IOS software bundle. You can download microcode to Flash memory by copying the TFTP image of a microcode version to Flash memory.
VIP4 Maintenance Procedures Step 3 After you verify that there is sufficient space available in Flash memory for the new image, use the command copy tftp:filename [ flash | slot0 | slot1 ]:filename to copy an image to Flash memory. (The file source is tftp:filename, and [ flash | slot0 | slot1 ]:filename is the destination in onboard Flash memory or on either of the Flash memory cards.
VIP4 Maintenance Procedures Immediately after you enter the microcode reload command and press Return, the system reloads all microcode. Configuration mode remains enabled; after the reload is complete, press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode and return to the system prompt. Step 10 To verify that the VIP4 is using the correct microcode, issue the show startup-config or show controllers cbus command, which indicates the currently loaded and running microcode version for each interface processor.
