Installing the SP Bootflash Memory Upgrade Kit
Installing the SP Bootflash Memory Upgrade Kit
The SP memory upgrade procedure is divided into the following tasks:
• Verifying the SP ROMMON Version, page 8
• Upgrading and Verifying the SP ROMMON Image, page 8
• Removing the Supervisor Engine 720, page 10
• Installing the CompactFlash Adapter, page 13
• Reinstalling the Supervisor Engine 720, page 16
Verifying the SP ROMMON Version
An SP ROMMON upgrade may be required to support the CompactFlash adapter; you must determine
what SP ROMMON release is installed on the Supervisor Engine 720 prior to performing an SP
ROMMON upgrade. The minimum SP ROMMON release required is 8.4(2). To determine the currently
running SP ROMMON release, enter the remote command switch show version | include ROM
command
If your system is running SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2) or a later release, you can continue on to
“Removing the Supervisor Engine 720” section on page 10. If your SP ROMMON release is earlier than
8.4(2), you must upgrade the SP ROMMON image. Go to the “Upgrading and Verifying the SP
ROMMON Image” section on page 8.
Upgrading and Verifying the SP ROMMON Image
In order to utilize the SP CompactFlash adapter, your Supervisor Engine 720 must have SP ROMMON
Release 8.4(2) or a later release installed on it.
Note The upgrade task description is based on the Supervisor Engine 720 installed in a 9-slot chassis currently
running ROMMON from its S (Gold) region; the ROMMON upgrade to support the CompactFlash
adapter will be done in the F1 region.

Removing the Supervisor Engine 720
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030
The following tools are required to perform the bootflash upgrade kit installation:
• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on the supervisor engine
• Antistatic mat or foam pad to support and protect the removed supervisor engine
• Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all
upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
Warning
Warning
Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling the Supervisor Engine 720 or coming in contact with
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.
1029
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing.
Statement 1034
Statement
internal components.
To remove the supervisor engine, follow these steps:
Step 1 Power down your system.
Step 2 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the supervisor engine.
Step 3 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to
attach an ESD grounding strap, see the “Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap” section on page 24 for
instructions.)
Step 4 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.
Note 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 reinstall
the module.
Step 5 Loosen the two captive screws on the supervisor engine that is to be removed.

Installing the CompactFlash Adapter
To install the CompactFlash adapter, follow these steps:
Step 1 Locate the SP BOOTFLASH DIMM socket on the Supervisor Engine 720. (See Figure 4.) The SP
BOOTFLASH DIMM is on the left side of the Supervisor Engine 720 as you face the front of the board;
the RP BOOTFLASH DIMM is on the right side of the Supervisor Engine 720 as you face the front of
the board.
Note The DIMM is a sensitive component that is susceptible to ESD damage. To prevent ESD damage,
wear an ESD grounding wrist strap and handle the DIMM by the edges only; avoid touching the
memory modules, pins, or traces (including the metal fingers along the connector edge of the
DIMM). Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about
the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, see the “Attaching Your ESD Grounding
Strap” section on page 24 for instructions.)

Reinstalling the Supervisor Engine 720
Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps and handle modules by the carrier edges only to
avoid ESD damage to the card.
To reinstall the Supervisor Engine 720 in the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to
attach an ESD grounding strap, see the “Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap” section on page 24 for
instructions.)
Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis. This
action assures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the
opening space for the removed module.
Note 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 removed module.
Step 3 Fully open both ejector levers on the supervisor engine that is being installed. (See Figure 7.)

Step 4 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the
following two sets of steps:
Horizontal slots
a. Position the supervisor engine in the slot. (See Figure 7.) Make sure that you align the sides of the
module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot.
b. Carefully slide the supervisor engine into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the
module makes contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have closed to
approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 8.)
c. Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and press down to create
a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the supervisor engine’s EMI gasket and the module above
it. (See Figure 8.)
Note Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and be damaged.
d. While pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the
supervisor engine in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush
with the module faceplate. (See Figure 8.)
Note Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.
e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine.
Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation
screws.
f. Power up your system.
Note Depending on how your system bootstring is configured, your system might stay in
ROMMON. To boot the system from the CF adapter, enter the boot bootdisk: command.
Once you install the CF adapter, you must define the Cisco IOS bootstring as
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:[image name]
With SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2), the bootstring has to be defined as sup-bootdisk:. SP
ROMMON releases later than 8.4(2) only accept the bootstring defined as sup-bootflash:.
g. Verify that the Supervisor Engine 720 STATUS LED is lit.
Periodically check the STATUS LED. 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 supervisor engine has not successfully
completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.

e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine.
Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation
screws.
f. Power up your system.
Note Depending on how your system bootstring is configured, your system might stay in
ROMMON. To boot the system from the CF adapter, enter the boot bootdisk: command.
Once you install the CF adapter, you must define the Cisco IOS bootstring as
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:[image name]
With SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2), the bootstring has to be defined as sup-bootdisk:. SP
ROMMON releases later than 8.4(2) only accept the bootstring defined as sup-bootflash:.
g. Verify that the Supervisor Engine 720 STATUS LED is lit. Periodically check the STATUS LED.
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 supervisor engine has not successfully
completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.
Removing and Installing the CompactFlash in the CompactFlash
Adapter
CompactFlash is normally shipped already installed in the CompactFlash adapter. However, there might
be occasions when you will need to replace a defective CompactFlash or swap an existing CompactFlash
for a larger capacity device.
To remove the CompactFlash from the adapter, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove the Supervisor Engine 720 from the system chassis. See the “Removing the Supervisor
Engine 720” section on page 10.
Step 2 Place the Supervisor Engine 720 on an antistatic mat.
Caution Do not remove the CompactFlash from the CompactFlash adapter while the adapter is installed in the
DIMM socket; you must remove the CompactFlash adapter first.
Step 3 Release the CompactFlash adapter from the DIMM socket by simultaneously releasing the two locking
spring clips on either side of the DIMM socket. The CompactFlash adapter will flip up in the socket.
Step 4 Hold the CompactFlash adapter by its edges and carefully remove it from the DIMM socket.
Step 5 Holding the CompactFlash adapter in one hand as shown in Figure 11, grasp the CompactFlash with your
other hand (View 1) and carefully and firmly pull the CompactFlash (Views 2 and 3) to disconnect the
CompactFlash from the adapter.

Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly
handled, results in intermittent or complete failures. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are
fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral
components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, always use
an ESD grounding strap when handling modules.
Follow these guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it makes maximum contact with bare skin. ESD
grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. All
Catalyst 6500 series chassis are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground
symbol next to the connector) on the front panel. If you have an older Catalyst 6500 series chassis
equipped with a plastic banana plug connector, we recommend that you use either the supplied ESD
grounding wrist strap (with a metal clip) or an ESD grounding wrist strap equipped with an alligator
clip. If you have a newer Catalyst 6500 series chassis that has a bare metal hole as the banana plug
connector (also identified by the ground symbol next to the connector), we recommend that you use
a personal ESD grounding strap equipped with a banana plug.
• 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.
Note This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS)
ground.
24
• If your chassis does not have the system ground attached, you must install the system ground lug.
Refer to the online Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide for the procedure.
Cisco CompactFlash Adapter for Bootflash Upgrade Installation Note
78-17277-04
Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap
Note You do not need to attach a supplemental system ground wire to the system ground lug; the
lug provides a direct path to the bare metal of the chassis.
After you install the system ground lug, you can perform the procedure in this section.
To attach the ESD wrist strap, follow these steps:
Step 1 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
so that it makes good contact with your bare skin.
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.
Step 2 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.
Step 3 Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows (see Figure 13):
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.
Note The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw
or the lug barrel.
b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip
directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.

Module Handling Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when handling modules:
• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
connectors.
• Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container.
If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding
container.
• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Varoitus
Attention
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
Lege vlakplaten en afdekpanelen vervullen drie belangrijke functies: ze voorkomen blootstelling
aan gevaarlijke voltages en stroom binnenin het frame, ze bevatten elektromagnetische storing
(EMI) hetgeen andere apparaten kan verstoren en ze leiden de stroom van koellucht door het frame.
Het systeem niet bedienen tenzij alle kaarten, vlakplaten en afdekkingen aan de voor- en achterkant
zich op hun plaats bevinden.
Tyhjillä tasolaikoilla ja suojapaneeleilla on kolme tärkeää käyttötarkoitusta: Ne suojaavat
asennuspohjan sisäisille vaarallisille jännitteille ja sähkövirralle altistumiselta; ne pitävät
sisällään elektromagneettisen häiriön (EMI), joka voi häiritä muita laitteita; ja ne suuntaavat
tuuletusilman asennuspohjan läpi. Järjestelmää ei saa käyttää, elleivät kaikki tasolaikat, etukannet
ja takakannet ole kunnolla paikoillaan.
Ne jamais faire fonctionner le système sans que l’intégralité des cartes, des plaques métalliques et
des panneaux avant et arrière ne soient fixés à leur emplacement. Ceux-ci remplissent trois
fonctions essentielles : ils évitent tout risque de contact avec des tensions et des courants
dangereux à l’intérieur du châssis, ils évitent toute diffusion d’interférences électromagnétiques
qui pourraient perturber le fonctionnement des autres équipements, et ils canalisent le flux d’air de
refroidissement dans le châssis.

Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link, clicking the All Tools (A-Z) tab, and
then choosing Cisco Product Identification Tool from the alphabetical list. This tool offers three search
options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or, for certain products, by copying and pasting
show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label

Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and
S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require
product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides
recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service
request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.
(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)
Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business
operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411
Australia: 1 800 805 227
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553 2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity
definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations.
You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your
business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and
Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired while most business operations
remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service
to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
