Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Preparing for Installation

Warning

During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage may occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly handled, and result in intermittent or complete failure of the modules or FRUs. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. EMI shielding and connectors are integral components of a carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, always use an ESD-grounding strap when handling modules. To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:

Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it has maximum contact with bare skin. ESD grounding

•

straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. The chassis is equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) on the front panel.

If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most FRUs or an ESD wrist strap

•

equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.

Establishing System Ground

To attach the grounding lug and cable to the grounding pad, perform these steps

Before You Begin

To connect the system ground, you require the following tools and materials:

• Grounding lug—A two-hole right-angled lug. Supports up to 6 AWG wire. Supplied as part of accessory

kit.

• Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8 mm (metric) pan-head screws. Supplied as part of the accessory kit.

• Grounding wire—Not supplied as part of accessory kit. The grounding wire should be sized according

to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S. installations. Commercially available 6-AWG wire is recommended. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.

Attaching an ESD Strap

After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:

SUMMARY STEPS

Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal

spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

a) If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and unwrap the ESD wrist

strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap such that it touches your bare skin well.

b) If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove the ESD wrist

strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your bare skin.

Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:

a) If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws open, position the

spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.

The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or the lug barrel.Note

Installing and Removing Ethernet Switching Modules

Installing an Ethernet Switching Module

The C6800-32P10G-XL Ethernet module illustrations are shown here as examples; the same installation procedure applies to other modules.

Before You Begin

Verify the following:

That the two slots adjacent to the slot where you are installing the module have either a module installed

•

in them or a switching-module filler plate installed (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) if either slot is unused. If either slot has a blank slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR), you need to remove the blank slot cover and replace it with a switching-module filler plate for NEBS compliance.

That there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment, such as pluggable transceivers,

•

installed directly on the module ports. If possible, install modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.

That you have adequate cable guides installed on the chassis to accept the additional network interface

•

cables for the new module.

That the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.

•

Catalyst 6800 Ethernet Module Installation Guide

Page 34

Installing an Ethernet Switching Module

This is to ensure that the EMI gaskets on all of the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or replacement module. If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the module.

Installing and Removing Modules, Transceivers, and Attaching Cables

Step 1 Step 2

Step 3

Step 4 Step 5

Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.

Choose a slot for the module and remove the module filler plate covering the selected slot by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate. Refer to your software release notes for any information on slot or chassis restrictions for the module that you are installing.

Remove the new module from its shipping packaging and from the antistatic shipping bag.

Caution

To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Fully open both ejector levers on the new module.

Position the new module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the chassis slot.

Verify that the module STATUS LED is lit. Periodically check the STATUS LED color:

If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and

•

is now online.

If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not successfully completed the boot process and

•

may have encountered an error. For more information about the orange or red STATUS LED states, see Appendix B.

What to Do Next

Install switching-module filler plates (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) in any empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.

Verify module installation.

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.

Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.

Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained. If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to remove the module.

Loosen the two captive screws on the module. Make sure that the two captive screws are completely unscrewed from the chassis.

Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or in an antistatic bag, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.

Perform one of the following steps:

Install another module.

•

Install a module filler plate.

•

If the slot is to remain empty and is adjacent to a module, you must install a module filler plate (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) to maintain proper air flow through the chassis. Do not install a blank slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) over the unused slot.

Catalyst 6800 Ethernet Module Installation Guide

Page 39

Installing and Removing Modules, Transceivers, and Attaching Cables

Installing Transceivers and Module Connectors

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029

Installing Transceivers and Module Connectors

Some Ethernet modules require that pluggable transceivers be installed in the module port sockets. These transceivers are normally shipped separately from the module and must be installed after the module is installed in the chassis slot.

For detailed instructions about installing the various kinds of pluggable transceivers and module connectors, see the following:

Attaching Network Interface Cables

Attaching Optical Network Interface Cables

Before You Begin

Follow the guidelines prescribed for maintaining fiber-optic connectors Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors

Do not remove the plugs from the transceiver optical bores or the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs protect the transceiver optical bores and cable from contamination.

Step 1 Step 2

Step 3

Caution

Remove the dust plugs from the network interface cable optical connectors. Save the dust plugs for future use.

Immediately inspect and clean the optical connector's fiber-optic end-faces. Always inspect and clean the SC or the LC connector end-faces just before making any connections.

Remove the dust plugs from the transceiver optical bores. If you are using the LX/LH GBIC with MMF, you need to install a patch cord between the GBIC and the MMF cable.

Catalyst 6800 Ethernet Module Installation Guide

Page 40

Installing and Removing Modules, Transceivers, and Attaching Cables

Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord

The Read-Only WDM GBIC (WDM-GBIC-REC=) has only one optical bore (receive).

Step 4

Immediately attach the network interface cable optical connector to the transceiver. Always grasp the SC or the LC connector housing rather than the fiber-optic cable to plug or unplug the fiber-optic cable.

Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord

When using the long-wavelength and long-haul (LX and LH) GBIC with 62.5-micron diameter multimode fiber (MMF), you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord (Cisco product number CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) between the GBIC and the MMF cable on both the transmit and receive ends of the link.

When an unconditioned laser source designed for operation on single-mode optical fiber (SMF) is directly coupled to an MMF cable, an effect known as differential mode delay (DMD) might result in a degradation of the modal bandwidth of the optical fiber cable. This degradation results in a decrease in the link span (the distance between a transmitter and a receiver) that can be supported reliably. The effect of DMD can be overcome by conditioning the launch characteristics of a laser source. A practical means of performing this conditioning is to use a device called a mode-conditioning patch cord.

A mode-conditioning patch cord is required for 1000BASE-LX and LH applications over FDDI-grade, OM1, and OM2 fiber-cable types. Mode-conditioning patch cords should not be used for applications over OM3 fiber cable (laser-optimized fiber cable). For more information about mode-conditioning patch cords, see the

Use of Mode Conditioning Patch Cables in Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Laser-Based Transmissions

bulletin available on Cisco.com.

Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord

Note

We recommend that you use the LX and LH GBIC and MMF with the patch cord for short link distances of 33 to 328 feet (10 to 100 meters) because not using the patch could result in an elevated bit error rate (BER).

The patch cord is required to comply with IEEE standards. IEEE found that link distances could not be met with certain types of fiber-optic cable due to a problem in the center of some fiber-optic cable cores. The solution is to launch light from the laser at a precise offset from the center by using the patch cord. At the output of the patch cord, the LX and LH GBIC complies with the IEEE 802.3z standard for 1000BASE-LX.

Installing the Patch Cord

Warning

SUMMARY STEPS

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Connecting Transceivers to a Copper Network

Caution

To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded, shielded, twisted-pair Category 5 cabling.

Step 1

Insert the network cable RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 connector on the transceiver. When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four-twisted-pair, crossover Category 5 cabling.

Step 2

Insert the other end of the network cable into an RJ-45 connector on a 1000BASE-T-compatible target device.

Verifying the Installation

Verifying Newly Installed Modules

Enter the show module or show port [modnum/port_num] privileged EXEC command.

This verifies that the system acknowledges the new modules and has brought them online.

What to Do Next

Enter the ping host user EXEC command to ping a host and check connectivity.

If the host is unresponsive, check the IP address of the switch and default IP route, if appropriate.

RJ-45 Connector

The RJ-45 connector is used to connect a Category 3, Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 foil twisted-pair or unshielded twisted-pair cable from the external network to the module interface connector.

Figure 15: RJ-45 Interface Cable Connector

Pluggable Transceivers, Module Connectors

Caution

SC Connector

Warning

Note

Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store large levels of static electricity because of the dielectric properties of the materials used in their construction. Always ground the cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the module.

To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding and lightning immunity requirements, you must use a foil twisted-pair (FTP) cable that is properly grounded at both ends.

The SC connector is used to connect fiber-optic module ports or transceivers with the external SMF or MMF network.

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Make sure that the optical connectors are clean before making the connections. Contaminated connectors can damage the fiber and cause data errors.

Figure 16: SC Fiber-Optic Connector

Always insert the network connector completely into the socket. A secure connection is especially important when you are establishing a connection between a module and a long-distance (1.24 miles) (2 km) network,

Catalyst 6800 Ethernet Module Installation Guide

Page 61

Pluggable Transceivers, Module Connectors

or a module and a suspected highly attenuated network. If the link LED does not light up, try removing the network cable plug and reinserting it firmly into the module socket. It is possible that dirt or skin oils have accumulated on the plug faceplate (around the optical-fiber openings), generating significant attenuation and reducing the optical power levels below threshold levels so that a link cannot be established.

LC Connector

Caution

LC Connector

Warning

Note

Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so that you do not damage the connector housing or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install protective covers on unused or disconnected components to prevent contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing them.

The LC fiber optic connector is a small form-factor fiber-optic connector that provides high-density fiber connectivity. The LC connector can be used with either MMF cable or SMF cable. The LC connector uses a latching clip mechanism that is similar to the one used on the RJ-45 copper connector.

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Make sure that the optical connectors are clean before making the connections. Contaminated connectors can damage the fiber and cause data errors.
