Preparing for Installation Safety Guidelines This section provides safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring. Safety Warnings Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that, if performed incorrectly, might harm you. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement. Warning IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury.
Preparing for Installation Warnung WICHTIGE SICHERHEITSHINWEISE Dieses Warnsymbol bedeutet Gefahr. Sie befinden sich in einer Situation, die zu Verletzungen führen kann. Machen Sie sich vor der Arbeit mit Geräten mit den Gefahren elektrischer Schaltungen und den üblichen Verfahren zur Vorbeugung vor Unfällen vertraut.
Preparing for Installation Varning! VIKTIGA SÄKERHETSANVISNINGAR Denna varningssignal signalerar fara. Du befinner dig i en situation som kan leda till personskada. Innan du utför arbete på någon utrustning måste du vara medveten om farorna med elkretsar och känna till vanliga förfaranden för att förebygga olyckor. Använd det nummer som finns i slutet av varje varning för att hitta dess översättning i de översatta säkerhetsvarningar som medföljer denna anordning.
Preparing for Installation Electrical Equipment Guidelines Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment: • Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. • Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis. • Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist and never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
Preparing for Installation Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. The HP ESCON PA has embedded Class 3a laser LED assemblies operating at a nominal wavelength of 850 nanometer and a maximum potential output power of 1.25 milliwatts. The design of the HP ESCON PA incorporates engineering features including current limiting, which ensures that there is no human access to LED radiation greater than Class 1 under any set of operating, maintenance, or service conditions, including a single fault.
Preparing for Installation Staring into Laser Beam Warning Waarschuwing Varoitus Do not stare into the laser beam. Statement 1010 Niet in de straal staren. Älä katso säteeseen. Attention Ne pas fixer le faisceau des yeux. Warnung Nicht direkt in den Strahl blicken. Avvertenza Non fissare il raggio con gli occhi. Advarsel Aviso ¡Advertencia! Varning! Stirr ikke på strålen. Não olhe fixamente para o raio. No mirar fijamente el haz. Laserstrålning när enheten är öppen.
Removing and Installing Port Adapters Removing and Installing Port Adapters This section describes how to remove port adapters from supported platforms and also how to install new or replacement port adapters.
Removing and Installing Port Adapters Online Insertion and Removal The Cisco 7200 series routers, including Cisco 7200 VXR routers, support online insertion and removal (OIR) of all port adapters. You do not need to power down the router when removing and replacing an HP ESCON PA. Note As you disengage the module from the router or switch, OIR administratively shuts down all active interfaces in the port adapter.
Removing and Installing Port Adapters Port Adapter Removal and Installation In this section, the illustrations that follow give step-by-step instructions on how to remove and install port adapters. Although the procedures may refer to a particular type of port adapter, the steps are the same for installing and removing all types of port adapters.
Removing and Installing Port Adapters Cisco 7200 Series Routers and Cisco 7200 VXR Routers—Removing and Installing a Port Adapter Step 1 Port adapter lever (locked position) To remove the port adapter, place the port adapter lever in the unlocked position. (See A.) The port adapter lever remains in the unlocked position.
Removing and Installing Port Adapters Attaching the HP ESCON PA to the Channel Caution We recommend that an authorized service representative or other qualified service person perform the following procedure. To prevent hardware problems with your host processor, all the channel connections must be tight. A loose connection can cause the host processor or its channel to halt. Every cable must be tightly seated in its connector.
Configuring the HP ESCON PA Configuring the HP ESCON PA To continue your port adapter installation, you must configure the HP ESCON PA interface. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. Minor differences among the platforms—with Cisco IOS software commands—are noted.
Configuring the HP ESCON PA Configuring the HP ESCON PA Interface After you verify that the new HP ESCON PA is installed correctly, use the configure command to configure the new interfaces. The enabled LED (EN) goes on when the port adapter is installed correctly (Figure 3). Before you begin to configure the interface, be prepared with the following information: • Protocols and encapsulations you plan to use on the new interfaces.
Configuring the HP ESCON PA Step 2 At the prompt, enter the interface configuration mode by using the interface configuration command. The following example prepares you to configure the interface on the channel port adapter in slot 2, port 0: Router(config)# interface channel 2/0 Step 3 If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface with the ip address interface configuration, as in the following example: Router(config-if)# ip address 1.1.1.10 255.
Configuring the HP ESCON PA Step 3 Specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces port adapter type slot/interface command and verify that the first line of the display specifies the interface with the correct slot number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or down. Step 4 Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the show protocols command.

Configuring the HP ESCON PA Upgrading Your HP ESCON PA Microcode The following sections discuss HP ESCON PA microcode configuration requirements: • How Does HP ESCON PA Microcode Ship?, page 33 • Upgrading the HP ESCON PA Microcode from Cisco.com, page 33 • Configuring the HP ESCON PA Microcode, page 34 For additional information about specific microcode requirements, refer to the “Hardware and Software Requirements” section on page 13.
Configuring the HP ESCON PA Step 4 Reconfigure the router, as necessary, to use the HP ESCON PA microcode image stored in the Flash memory card in slot 0 or slot 1, or in the SanDisk memory device in disk 0 or disk 1. Step 5 Save your running configuration to a TFTP server, Flash memory, or SanDisk memory. Step 6 Perform a microcode reload.

Configuring the HP ESCON PA Step 5 To verify that the correct microcode is loaded according to the new instructions, enter the show controllers EXEC command. The display indicates the currently loaded and running microcode version for each HP ESCON PA. Step 6 To verify the contents of the configuration file, enter the show running-config EXEC command. You can also verify that the correct software image is configured to load at system restart or reload by using the show startup-config EXEC command.
