Installing the Routing Engine RE-S-X6-64G
To install the new Routing Engine (RE-S-X6-64G):
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
2. Ensure that the ejector handles are not in the locked position. If necessary, flip the
ejector handles outward.
3. Place one hand underneath the Routing Engine to support it and carefully align the
sides of the Routing Engine with the guides inside the opening on the SCBE2.
NOTE: The Routing Engine RE-S-X6-64Gis supported onlyon the SCBE2.
RE-S-X6-64G is not compatible with the SCB or the SCBE.
4. Slide the Routing Engine into the SCBE2 until you feel resistance, and then press the
Routing Engine's faceplate until it engages the connectors.
5. Press both of the ejector handles inward to seat the Routing Engine. Tighten the
captive screws on the top and bottom of the Routing Engine.
6. Connect the management device cables to the Routing Engine. After the Routing
Engine is installed, the ONLINE LED starts blinking green slowly.
7. Verify that the SCBE2 and RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine are online by issuing the
show chassis hardware command.
8. After you install the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine into the SCBE2, the Routing Engine
gets automatically powered on and comes up in amnesiac mode as it is loaded with
factory defaults. After the Routing Engine comes up in amnesiac mode, load the base
configuration and commit.
The Routing Engine might require several minutes to boot. After the Routing Engine boots,
verify that it is installed correctly by checking the FAIL, RE0, and RE1 LEDs on the craft
interface. If the router is operational and the Routing Engine is functioning properly, the
green ONLINE LED on the Routing Engine lights steadily. If the red FAIL LED lights steadily
instead, remove the Routing Engine and reinstall it. If the red FAIL LED on the Routing
Engine still lights steadily, the Routing Engine is not functioning properly. Contact your
customer support representative.
