Handling SPAs
CHAPTER
5
Each SPA circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage. Before you begin installation, read “Preparing to Install a SPA Interface Processor or a Shared
Port Adapter” for a list of parts and tools required for installation.
Caution Always handle the SPA by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the SPA components or connector
pins. (See Figure 5-1.)
When a slot is not in use, a SPA blank filler plate must fill the empty slot to allow the router or switch
to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow
across the installed modules. If you plan to install a SPA in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove
the SPA blank filler plate.

midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Installing a SPA in a SIP
To install a SPA in a SIP, refer to Figure 5-2 and do the following:
Step 1 To insert the SPA in the SIP, locate the guide rails inside the SIP that hold the SPA in place. They are at
the top left and top right of the SPA slot and are recessed about an inch, as shown in C of Figure 5-2.
Step 2 Carefully slide the SPA all the way in the SIP until the SPA is firmlyseatedintheSPAinterfaceconnector.
When fully seated, the SPA might be slightly behind the SIP faceplate.
Step 3 After the SPA is properly seated, turn the SPA lock to its locked and horizontal position, as shown in A
of Figure 5-2.
Removing a SPA from a SIP
To remove a SPA from a SIP, refer to Figure 5-2 and do the following:
Step 1 If attached, remove any cables from the SPA.
Step 2 To remove the SPA from the SIP, turn the SPA lock from its locked and horizontal position shown in A
of Figure 5-2 to its unlocked and vertical position shown in B of Figure 5-2.
Step 3 Grasp the handle of the SPA and pull the SPA from the SIP. (Ensure that you have already disconnected
the cables from the SPA before removing the SPA from the SIP).

Online Insertion and Removal
Cisco 12000 series router SIPs and SPAs support online insertion and removal (OIR). SPAs can be
inserted or removed independently from the SIP. OIR of a SIP with installed SPAs is also supported.
Optical Device Installation and Removal
Any contamination of the fiber connection can cause failure of the component or failure of the whole
system. A particle that partially or completely blocks the core generates strong back reflections, which
can cause instability in the laser system. Inspection, cleaning, and reinspection are critical steps to take
before making fiber-optic connections.

Verifying the Installation
Chapter 5 Installing and Removing a Shared Port Adapter
This section describes how to verify the SIP and SPA installation by observing the SIP LED states, SPA
LED states, and the information displayed on the console terminal.
When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the SIP STATUS LED should be green (on) and the SPA
STATUS LEDs should be green (on). The port LEDs (C/A and A/L) may be green (on), depending on
your connections and configuration. The console screen also displays a message as the system discovers
each interface during its reinitialization.
Note A POS interface is used in the following examples for illustrative purposes.
The following sample display shows the events logged by the system as a SIP with a POS SPA was
removed from module slot 4 in the router. In this example, interface 0 (interface 4/0/0) on the POS SPA
was up and active when the SIP was removed from the router. Note that the system logs that the SIP card
was removed from slot 4 and that interface 4/0/0 is changed to down.

When you reinsert the SIP with the installed POS SPA, the system automatically brings up the interface
that was changed to down when the SIP was removed.

Release 12.0(32)SY1, OL-8831-01, Rev. G6, July 19, 2007
Chapter 5 Installing and Removing a Shared Port Adapter
Step 1 Observe the console display messages and verify that the system discovers the SIP, while the system
reinitializes each interface, as follows:
• As a SIP is initialized, the STATUS LED will firstbe yellow,indicating that power is on, but the SIP
is being configured. When the SIP is active, the STATUS LED will illuminate green.
• SPAs will follow the same sequence once the SIP has completed its initialization. The SPASTATUS
LEDs will illuminate amber, turning to green when the SPAs become active.
• When the SIP and SPA STATUS LEDs are green, all associated interfaces are configurable.
Refer to the Cisco 12000 Series Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration Guide (Cisco IOS) for
configuration instructions.
• If a SIP or SPA is replaced with a module of the same type (as in an OIR or hardware swap), the
previous configuration will be reinstated when the SIP or SPA becomes active.
• If a SIP or SPA has not been previously installed in the same slot or subslot, then the configuration
for all associated interfaces will be empty.
Note New interfaces are not available until you configure them.
Checking the Installation
Step 2 If the SIPs and SPAs have not become active within three minutes, refer to the system console messages
as follows:
• If a SIP or SPA is undergoing an FPD upgrade, then console messages will indicate that the FPD
process has been initiated. The upgrade process might take several minutes. Use the show fpd
upgrade progress command to obtain information about the FPD process. SIPs or SPAs that
undergo an FPD upgrade will automatically be rebooted. Return to Step 1.
• If there is no indication that an FPD upgrade is underway, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting the
Installation.”
Using show Commands to Verify SIP and SPA Status
The following procedure uses show commands to verify that the new SPAs are configuredand operating
correctly.
Step 1 Use the show running-config command to display the system configuration. Verify that the
configuration includes the new SPA interfaces.
Step 2 Display all of the current SPAs and a summary of their status using the show hw-module subslot oir
command.
Step 3 Display information about the installed SIPs using the show diag command.
Step 4 Use the show hw-module subslot fpd command to verify the FPD version information of the SPAs
installed in the system.
Note If a SPA does not meet the minimum FPD version required, it will be updated automatically. If
the update fails, the failing module will be powered down and an error message will be reported
on the system console.

Note When a new SIP is inserted or when a SIP is moved to a new slot, the system recognizes the new
interfaces but leaves them in the shutdown state until you configure them and change their state to up.
The following sample display shows the events logged by the system as you insert a new SIP in module
slot 3.
Router#
18:05:25: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet3/1, changed state

Use the following procedure to verify that the SIP is installed correctly:
Checking the Installation
Step 1 Observe the console display messages and verify that the system discovers the SIP, while the system
reinitializes each interface, as follows:
• If you installed a new SIP, the STATUS LED should be on (green). The system should recognize all
new interfaces but leave them configured as down.
• If you replaced a SIP, the STATUS LED should be on (green). The system does not recognize each
interface and places it in the administratively down state.
Step 2 Verify that the ENABLED LED on the SPA goes on (is green) and remains on after the reinitialization
is complete. If the ENABLED LED remains on, proceed to Step 5. If the ENABLED LED does not
remain on, proceed to Step 3.
Step 3 If the ENABLED LED on a SPA fails to go on, the SPA or the SIP might not be fully seated even if the
SPA lock is in the locked and horizontal position. When a SPA is not recognized, the SIP is deactivated,
and its OIR LED is yellow.
• Remove the SIP from the router.
• Remove the SPA from the SIP.
• Inspect the SIP and the SPA. Verify there are no bent pins or parts and that there is nothing lodged
in the two devices that could prevent a good connection.
• Insert the SPA in the SIP by sliding the SPA all the way in the SIP until the SPA is firmly seated in
the SPA interface connector. When fully seated in the SIP, the SPA might be slightly behind the SIP
faceplate.
• Insert the SIP into the router.
• After the system reinitialization, the ENABLED LED on the SPA should go on and remain on. If the
ENABLED LED remains on, proceed to Step 5. If it does not, proceed to Step 4.
Step 4 If the ENABLED LED on a SPA still fails to go on, remove the SIP and install it in another available
slot on the router.
• If the ENABLED LED goes on, suspect a failed backplane port in the original slot.
• If the ENABLED LED fails to go on, remove the SIP and ensure the SPA is firmly seated in its slot.
Remove and reinstall it accordingly.

Step 6 If the SIP is a replacement, use the show interfaces type slot-number/port-number command or the
Step 7 When the interfaces are up, check the activity of each SPA by observing the status LEDs.
Step 8 If an interface LED fails to go on and a cable is connected to the interface port, check the cable
Step 9 Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 to verify that any additional MSCs are properly installed.
Chapter 5 Installing and Removing a Shared Port Adapter
• If the ENABLED LED still fails to go on, but other LEDs on the SIP SPA go on to indicate activity,
proceed to Step 5 to resume the installation checkout; suspect that the ENABLED LED on the SPA
has failed. Contact a service representative to report the problem and obtain further instructions.
• If no LEDs on the SPA go on:
–
Verify that the SPAis supported on the SIP and that it has the required hardware revision. If the
SPA is not supported or has an old hardware revision, the show diag command indicates that
the SIP is deactivated.
–
Suspect a faulty SIP. Contact a service representative to report the problem and obtain further
instructions.

If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact TAC (see the “Obtaining
Documentation” section on page -xv in the Preface) or a service representative for assistance.
To configure the new interface, use the Cisco 12000 Series Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration
Guide (Cisco IOS).
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 a SPA 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 the SIP have booted
successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of the SPA ports. Refer
to the publications listed in the “Related Documentation” section on page xv for detailed command
descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify.After
sending a series of signals, the command waits a specifiedtime for the remote device to echo the signals.
Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is
not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points
(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]
indicate that the connection failed.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:

.SPA Blank Filler Plates
SPA blank filler plates are available to fill an unused SPA subslot. A special SPA blank filler plate is
preinstalled for the 7600-SIP-600 bay 1.
When a SPAsubslot is not in use, a SPA blank fillerplate must be installed in the empty subslot to allow
the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to
allow proper airflow across the SPAs. If you plan to install a new SPA in a subslot that is not in use, you
must first remove the SPA blank filler plate.
