VIP4 Installation Procedures
Figure 3 Handling Interface Processors—Vertical Orientation Shown
Caution Failure to use the ejector levers and insert the interface processor properly can disrupt the order in which
the pins make contact with the card or interface processor. This may cause the system to interpret a board
failure.
Removing a VIP4
This section describes the procedure for removing a VIP4, an interface processor, or an
interface processor filler, and replacing it with a new VIP4. Please read the “Guidelines for VIP4
Removal and Installation” section on page 15 before proceeding with this procedure.
Note To help prevent dust and contaminants from entering the chassis, do not leave the interface processor
slot open. Either insert an interface processor filler in the empty slot, or proceed immediately to the
“Installing a VIP4” section on page 19.
Caution In Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, or Cisco 7513-MX routers with the high system availability
(HSA) or high availability (HA) feature enabled, online insertion and removal of any interface processor
in either CyBus might cause the standby RSP2 to reboot with a bus error or a processor memory parity
error. The active RSP recovers from this event and issues a “cBus Complex Restart” message. Systems
that are configured with an RSP4 or an RSP8 as the system standby are not affected and do not
experience this problem.
For more information on HSA or HA, refer to your RSP Installation and Configuration Guide.
