Chapter 5 Installing and Removing a SIP or SSC
SIP or SSC Installation and Removal
The following example activates the SIP that is installed in slot 5 of the switch, its SPA, and all of the
interfaces (as long as the hw-module subslot shutdown command was not issued to also deactivate
the SPA):
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# power enable module 5
Notice that there are no corresponding console messages shown with activation. If you re-enter the
power enable module command, a message is displayed indicating that the module is already
enabled:
Router(config)# power enable module 5
% module is already enabled
Deactivation of a SPA Configuration Example
Deactivate a SPA when you want to perform OIR of that SPA. The following example deactivates the
SPA (and its interfaces) that is installed in subslot 0 of the SIP located in slot 2 of the switch and removes
power to the SPA. Notice that no corresponding console messages are shown:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# hw-module subslot 2/0 shutdown unpowered
Activation of a SPA Configuration Example
Activate a SPA if you have previously deactivated it. If you have not deactivated a SPA and its interfaces
during OIR of a SIP, then the SPA is automatically reactivated upon reactivation of the SIP.
The following example activates the SPA that is installed in slot 2 of the switch and all of its
interfaces. The corresponding console message is shown:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# no hw-module subslot 2/0 shutdown
Router#
SIP or SSC Installation and Removal
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing and removing a SIP or SSC.
Note For simplicity, any reference to “SIP” in this section also applies to the SSC.
Note To ensure compliance with electromagnetic interference (EMI) approvals by providing a tight
EMI-preventive seal for the Catalyst
6500 Series switch, we recommend that you first install SIPs in the
slots closest to the supervisor engine slots, and then work out to the slots furthest from the supervisor
engine slots.
Warning
When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the
SIP. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly touch the
midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
