• Router Information, page 2

• Cisco IOS XR Software Requirements, page 2

• Hardware Revision Requirements, page 3

Router Information

For hardware installation and maintenance information about the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, refer to the installation and configuration guide for your router. This includes information on card slot locations and other general requirements.

Supported Platforms

The PRP is supported on all Cisco XR 12000 Series Router chassis and can be installed in any available slot in any chassis; however PRP-3 is supported only on the Cisco XR 128xx and 124xx Series Router chassis. Also, PRP-1 is only supported on the Cisco 12000 Series Router chassis running Cisco IOS Software.

PRP Redundancy

When two PRPs are installed in a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, one PRP is the active PRP and the other is a backup, or standby, PRP. If the active PRP fails or is removed from the system, the standby PRP detects the failure and initiates a switchover. During a switchover, the standby PRP assumes control of the router, connects with the network interfaces, and activates the local network management interface and system console.

Note If your system includes redundant PRPs, both PRPs should be of the same type (PRP-3 or PRP-2) and

have the same memory size. We strongly recommend that you avoid configuring your router using mixed route processor cards.

Cisco IOS XR Software Requirements

For software configuration information, refer to the Cisco IOS XR getting started, configuration, and command reference publications for the installed Cisco IOS XR software release. Refer to the CiscoIOSR software release notes for additional information.

Note PRP-2 is compatible with Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2 or later releases, but PRP-3 is compatible

only with Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.0 and later releases. PRP-1 is not supported with any of the Cisco IOS XR Software Releases. PRP-1 is only supported on Cisco IOS Software Releases.

The show version and show hardware commands display the current hardware configuration of the router, including the system software version that is currently loaded and running.

OL-17436-01

Hardware Revision Requirements

To ensure compatibility with the software, the PRP should have a specific hardware revision level or greater. The hardware revision number is printed on a label affixed to the component side of the card. The hardware revision number can also be displayed using the show diags slot-number command.

The minimum hardware revision number for PRP-3 (product number PRP-3=) is 73-10255-02. The minimum hardware revision number for PRP-2 (product number PRP-2=) is 73-8812-04 Rev. A0.

The PRP-2 provides the following additional flash memory:

• CompactFlash (CF) disk—Optional 1-GB CF disk can be used for large Cisco IOS images.

Storing the Cisco IOS images in flash memory enables you to download and boot from upgraded Cisco IOS software images remotely, or from software images that reside in PRP flash memory.

Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers support downloadable system software for most Cisco IOS Software upgrades. This enables you to remotely download, store, and boot from a new Cisco IOS software image. The Cisco IOS software runs from within the SDRAM of the PRP.

Cisco IOS XR Software Storage

The PRP-3 provides the following compact flash memory for storing the Cisco IOS XR software image:

• Internal CompactFlash (CF) on board—(compact flash:) 2-GB internal compactflash is used for

large Cisco IOS XR software images.

• External CompactFlash (CF)—(disk0:) 2-GB external compactflash is used for large Cisco IOS XR

software images. The external CompactFlash can be inserted from the front panel of PRP-3. External CompactFlash replaces the PCMCIA slots of PRP-2.

PRP-3 ROMMON Changes

The PRP-3 ROMMON in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.0 has significant changes and more software intelligence than the PRP-2 ROMMON of previous releases. The following sections discuss in detail the changes introduced in PRP-3 ROMMON.

• Capability of ROM Monitor to Netboot

• FAT32 File System Support

• ROMMON Logical Divisions

Capability of ROM Monitor to Netboot

ROMMON is the initial program that loads in Cisco IOS XR software. It loads the mini.vm file into the RAM, sets up some initial hardware needed, and then hands over control to the CPU. The CPU thereafter takes on and loads the Cisco IOS XR software to enable the router to come up. The ROMMON in PRP-3 is now more intelligent than the ROMMON in PRP-1 or PRP-2. The ROMMON of PRP-1 and PRP-2 needed a boothelper image to reach TFTP and download the Cisco IOS XR software image. The boothelper image is stored in bootflash. The PRP-3 ROMMON has more software intelligence, because it can reach the TFTP server without a boothelper image. PRP-3 ROMMON does not require a boothelper image to reach the TFTP server. Hence, bootflash memory is also removed from PRP-3.

Product Overview

FAT32 File System Support

PRP-3 ROMMON supports only the FAT32 file system (FS), it does not support FAT12 or FAT16 file system. PRP-3 ROMMON does the native TFTP netboot and file download over the management ports.

ROMMON Logical Divisions

The PRP-3 ROMMON is split into following three software divisions:

• Boot Strap Loader (BSL)—BSL thin bootstrap starts one of the two ROMMON images (latest or

golden ROMMON images).

• Latest ROMMON image—It is the Primary ROMMON image, which sets up the initial hardware.

• Golden ROMMON image—It serves as a backup ROMMON image, which is used only if the latest

ROMMON image fails to load from upgrade, corruption, or any other issues.

ROMMON Procedure to Boot an Image from TFTP

The following section discusses booting a Cisco IOS XR software image from TFTP using ROMMON. Certain changes are related to booting from ROMMON.

Before starting to boot an image from TFTP using ROMMON, ROMMON must be initialized. The output displayed when ROMMON is initialized is displayed below. The output in blue shows the hardware changes in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.0.

Product Overview

NVRAM

Flash Memory

NVRAM provides 2 MB of memory for system configuration files, software configuration register settings, and environmental monitoring logs. This information is backed up with built-in lithium batteries that retain the contents for a minimum of 5 years. NVRAM is not user configurable or field replaceable.

Flash memory allows you to remotely load and store multiple Cisco IOS software and microcode images. You can download a new image over the network or from a local server and then add the new image to Flash memory or replace the existing files. You then can boot the routers either manually or automatically from any of the stored images.

Flash memory also functions as a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server to allow other servers to boot remotely from stored images or to copy them into their own Flash memory. The onboard Flash memory (called bootflash) contains the Cisco IOS boot image, and the Flash disk contains the Cisco IOS software image.

PRP-3 provides more flash memory than PRP-1 and PRP-2. PRP-3 includes a default internal compact flash of 2 GB and also has an external compact flash of 2-GB. Compact flash upgrade option is also available for a total of 8 GB (2 x 4 GB).

A soft reset switch provides a reset to the processor software on the PRP. You access the soft reset switch through a small opening in the PRP faceplate. To depress the switch, insert a paper clip or a similar object into the opening.

Caution The soft reset switch is not a mechanism for resetting the PRP and reloading the IOS image. It is intended

for software development use. To prevent system problems or loss of data, use the soft reset switch only on the advice of Cisco service personnel.

Flash Disk Slots

The PRP includes two Flash disk slots on the front panel of the card. Either slot on the PRP-1 can support an ATA Flash disk or a linear Flash memory card. The Flash disk slots on the PRP-2 can only support ATA Flash disks.

Note The PRP only supports +5 VDC Flash disk devices. It does not support +3.3 VDC Flash disk devices.

All combinations of different Flash devices are supported by the PRP-1. You can use ATA Flash disks, linear Flash memory cards, or a combination of the two.

Each Flash disk slot has an ejector button for ejecting a card from the slot. See the “Using Flash Disks

in the PRP” section on page 67 for more information.

Note Linear Flash memory cards may not have the capacity to meet the requirements of your configuration.

However, they can be used for emergency file recovery applications.

Asynchronous Serial Ports

The PRP has two asynchronous serial ports, the console and auxiliary ports. These allow you to connect external serial devices to monitor and manage the system. Both ports use RJ-45 receptacles.

The console port provides a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) interface for connecting a console terminal. The auxiliary port provides a data terminal equipment (DTE) interface and supports flow control. It is often used to connect a modem, a channel service unit (CSU), or other optional equipment for Telnet management.

OL-17436-01

Ethernet Ports

The PRP includes two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, each using an 8-pin RJ-45 receptacle for either IEEE

802.3 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) or IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) connections.

The PRP-2 includes a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port, which uses the above connections and also a

802.3 Gigabit Ethernet connection.

The PRP-3 includes two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port, which also uses the above connections and also a 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet connection.

Note The transmission speed of the Ethernet ports is auto-sensing by default and is user configurable.

Hard Disk Drive

The PRP-2 optionally includes a 40-GB hard disk drive (HDD) that is installed on the PRP-2 board.

The PRP-3 provides an 80-GB hard disk drive (HDD) that is installed on the PRP-3 board.

Preparing for Installation

Note Hard disk drives that are not from Cisco are not supported.

CompactFlash Disk

The PRP-2 optionally includes a 1-GB CompactFlash disk that is installed on the PRP-2 board.

Warning PRP-2 and PRP-3 compactflashes are not compatible with each other and hence PRP-2 compactflash

cannot be used in PRP-3 and vice versa. PRP-3 uses Multiword DMA to access the compactflash device, a PRP-2 compactflash does not support this access type.

The PRP-3 board includes a default 2-GB internal CompactFlash and a 2-GB external compact flash. In PRP-3, the external compact flash replaces the PCMCIA slots of PRP-2.

Note CompactFlash that are not from Cisco are not supported.

Preparing for Installation

Installation preparation is presented in the following sections:

OL-17436-01

Preparing for Installation

Safety Guidelines

Before you perform any procedure in this publication, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.

The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. The guidelines do not include all hazards. Be alert.

Note Review the safety warnings listed in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for

Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router publication (Document Number 78-4347-xx) that accompanied your

router before installing, configuring, or maintaining a line card.

• Keep the work area clear and dust free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris to

• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that could get caught in the router while working

• Cisco equipment operates safely when it is used in accordance with its specifications and product

• If you plan to replace a PRP, back up your current configuration file to a remote server or to Flash

enter into any laser-based components.

with line cards.

usage instructions.

memory before you remove the PRP. This prevents you from having to reenter all your current configuration information manually. To back up the file, copy your configuration file to a Flash disk or access a remote server.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is an integral component of the line card. We recommend using an ESD-preventive strap whenever you are handling network equipment or one of its components.

The following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

• Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

Connect the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD connection socket on the router or to bare metal on the chassis.

• Handle PRPs by the captive installation screws, the provided handle, ejector levers, or the line card

metal carrier only; avoid touching the board or connector pins.

• Place removed PRPs board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If you plan

to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.

• Avoid contact between the PRPs and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from ESD voltages

on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

Warning

For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms.

OL-17436-01

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and parts to remove and install a PRP:

• Flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver

• ESD-preventive wrist strap and instructions

• Antistatic mat, foam pad, or bag for the removed PRP. Place the removed PRP into an antistatic bag

if you plan to return it to the factory, o r on a n antistatic mat or foam if you are replacing components and will reinstall the PRP.

Working with Electrical Equipment

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

• Before beginning any procedure requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency

power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

• Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.

• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist; never assume that power has been

disconnected from a circuit; always check.

Removing and Installing a PRP

• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power

extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Removing and Installing a PRP

The following sections describe the procedures for removing and installing a PRP as well as removing and installing other field-replaceable hardware on the PRP-2 board. Before beginning the procedures, verify that your system meets the minimum requirements as described in the “Preparing for Installation”

section on page 17.

• Removing a PRP, page 20

• Installing a PRP, page 22

Note The procedures in the following sections use illustrations of a Cisco 12404 Internet Router to support

the descriptions of installing and removing a route processor card. The card cages of Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers differ in many ways. However, the process of installing and removing a route processor card are basically the same across the entire chassis line. Therefore, separate procedures and illustrations for each chassis are not included in this publication.

Caution We recommend that you do not remove a PRP while the system is operating. Doing so causes the system

to stop forwarding packets and might cause the system to cease network operation. If you are upgrading your router from a GRP to a PRP, you must first power down the router and then switch out the RP cards. We strongly recommends that you avoid configuring your router using mixed RP cards. If RP redundancy is desired, you must install two PRPs.

OL-17436-01

Removing and Installing a PRP

Note You must remove the PRP-2 before you can install or remove the compact flash disk or the hard disk

drive. See the “Additional Configuration and Maintenance Tasks” section on page 59 for more information.

Removing a PRP

When you remove a PRP from a slot, be sure to use the ejector levers, which help to ensure that the PRP is fully dislodged from the backplane connector. A PRP that is only partially removed from the backplane can halt the system. (See Figure 7.)

Caution Before you replace the PRP, back up the running configuration to a TFTP server or a Flash disk so that

you can retrieve it later. If the configuration is not saved, it will be lost and you will have to reenter the entire configuration manually. This procedure is not necessary if you are temporarily removing a PRP; lithium batteries will retain the configuration in memory until you replace the PRP in the system.

Figure 5 illustrates the PRP installed in a chassis.

To remove a PRP, follow these steps:

Step 1 If you are replacing the PRP in a system with only one PRP, copy the currently running configuration

file to a TFTP server or to a Flash disk so that you can retrieve it later.

Step 2 Turn off system power.

Step 3 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.

OL-17436-01

Removing and Installing a PRP

Step 4 If you are replacing a PRP, disconnect any devices that are attached to the Ethernet, console, or auxiliary

ports. If you are removing a PRP for maintenance and will reinstall the same one, you can leave the devices attached, provided that doing so will not strain the cables.

Step 5 Using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws on the ends of the PRP.

Step 6 Place your thumbs on the ends of each of the ejector levers and simultaneously pull them both away from

the PRP faceplate (in the direction shown in Figure 7a) to release the PRP from the upper card cage slot and to dislodge the PRP edge connector from the backplane.

Step 7 Grasp the PRP faceplate handle with one hand and pull the PRP straight out of the slot, keeping your

other hand under the PRP to guide it. Keep the PRP edge connector parallel to the backplane.

Caution Avoid touching the PRP printed circuit board, components, or any edge connector pins.

Step 8 Place the removed PRP on an antistatic mat or foam. If you plan to return the PRP to the factory,

immediately place it in an antistatic bag to prevent ESD damage.

Installing a PRP

When you install a PRP, be sure to use the ejector levers, which help to ensure that the PRP is fully inserted in the backplane connector. (See Figure 7.) When you push the ejector levers simultaneously inward (toward the center of the PRP), the ejector levers push the PRP into the slot and ensure that the PRP backplane connector is fully seated in the backplane.

Caution A PRP that is only partially connected to the backplane can halt the system.

To install a PRP, follow these steps:

Step 1 Turn off system power.

Step 2 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step 3 Grasp the PRP faceplate handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and

guide it into an upper card cage slot.

Caution Avoid touching the PRP printed circuit board, components, or any edge connector pins.

Step 4 Place the bus-connector edge of the PRP in the appropriate slot and align the notches along the edge of

the carrier with the grooves at the top and bottom of the slot.

Step 5 While keeping the PRP edge connector parallel to the backplane, carefully slide the carrier into the slot

until the PRP faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, then stop.

Step 6 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand to pinch each ejector lever, push both ejectors

simultaneously toward the center of the PRP faceplate until they are perpendicular to the PRP faceplate. (See Figure 7b.)

Step 7 Using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the captive screws on the ends of the PRP. The captive

screws prevent the PRP from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane and ensure proper EMI shielding. (These captive screws must be tightened to meet EMI specifications.)

OL-17436-01

Step 8 If you disconnected cables to remove the PRP, or if you are installing a new PRP, reconnect the cables

to the appropriate ports. (See the “Checking the Installation” section on page 23.)

Step 9 Ensure that the console terminal is turned on.

Step 10 Turn on system power.

Step 11 Attach the network end of your RJ-45 cable to your transceiver, switch, hub, repeater, DTE, or other

external equipment. Be sure to use the appropriate strain relief on cable connections.

Checking the Installation

This section assists you in confirming that the PRP is installed successfully and includes the following sections:

• PRP Boot Process, page 23

• Starting the System and Observing Initial Conditions, page 23

• Verifying Interface Status, page 30

Checking the Installation

PRP Boot Process

The following sequence describes a typical PRP boot process:

1. System power is turned on.

2. MBus module receives +5 VDC and starts executing MBus software.

3. PRP determines the system configuration by sending a message over the MBus requesting all

installed devices to identify themselves. The return response provides slot number, and card and component type. The PRP, line cards, and clock scheduler cards (CSCs) are then powered up.

4. PRP power-on-reset logic delay, which allows power and both local and CSC clocks to stabilize.

5. After the power-on reset is released, the PRP begins to execute the ROM monitor software.

6. If the ROM monitor is configured to autoboot, it loads and boots the Cisco IOS software.

If the ROM monitor is not configured to autoboot, you must enter the appropriate b command at the ROM monitor prompt (

7. When the Cisco IOS software boots, it polls all other cards in the system and powers them up,

loading their Cisco IOS software as needed.

Rommon>) to boot the Cisco IOS software.

Starting the System and Observing Initial Conditions

This section describes the initial system startup processes and procedures.

To start your system, follow these steps:

Step 1 Turn on each installed power supply by turning its system power switch to the on (|) position.

OL-17436-01

Checking the Installation

For AC-input power supplies, the green AC OK LED should go on. For DC-input power supplies, the green input OK LED should go on. For both types of power supplies, the output fail LED should be off.

Step 2 Listen for the system blower modules or fan trays in the router; you should immediately hear them

operating. In a noisy environment, place your hand in front of the exhaust vents to verify that the blower modules are operating.

Step 3 During the PRP boot process, observe the PRP alphanumeric display LEDs, which are located at one end

of the PRP, near the ejector lever. (See Figure 8.)

The 4-digit displays show system messages and displays a sequence similar to that shown in Table 6.
