Removing a VIP6-80 This section describes the procedure for removing a VIP6-80. Caution If your router has an RSP2 as the standby with the high system availability (HSA) feature or high availability (HA) features 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.
Step 5 Place the removed board on an antistatic mat or foam pad, or place it in an antistatic container if you plan to return it to the factory. This completes the procedure for removing a VIP6-80. Proceed to the“Installing a VIP6-80” section on page 24. Note If you have an RSP2 configured as the standby with HSA or HA enabled, continue with the following steps to finish the removal of the VIP6-80 from the router. Step 1 Wait 20 to 30 seconds.
Figure 4 Handling a Port Adapter Metal carrier H6420 Printed circuit board Single-Width Port Adapter Single-width port adapters occupy one of the two port adapter slots on a VIP6-80. When a single-width port adapter slot is not in use, use a blank port adapter to fill the empty slot to allow the router to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow through the router.
Figure 5 Removing and Installing a Single-Width Port Adapter Note: You must first remove the VIP from the chassis before removing a port adapter from the VIP. Step 1 To remove the port adapter, remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter). (See A.) A Step 2 Screw With the screw removed, grasp the handle on the front of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) and carefully pull it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of the slot. (See A.
Dual-Width Port Adapter Dual-width port adapters occupy both port adapter slots on a VIP6-80. Before you can install a dual-width port adapter, first remove the slot divider located between the two port adapter slots. (See Figure 6.) Refer to Table 4 for a list of dual-width port adapters.
Figure 7 Removing and Installing a Dual-Width Port Adapter Note: You must first remove the VIP from the chassis before removing the dual-width port adapter from the VIP. Step 1 To remove the port adapter, remove the screws that secure the port adapter to the VIP. Step 2 With the screws removed, grasp the handles on the front of the port adapter and carefully pull it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of the slot. (See A.
Connecting Cables to the Port Adapter Refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your specific port adapter for cabling instructions. Installing a VIP6-80 This section describes the procedure for installing a VIP6-80, or for inserting an interface filler.
Step 6 Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until the VIP6-80 is pushed entirely into its slot. (See Figure 3c.) Step 7 Tighten both of the captive installation screws to ensure proper EMI isolation for the router. Step 8 Repeat Step 1 through Step 7 to install any additional interface processors. This completes the procedure for installing a VIP6-80.
Checking the VIP6-80 Installation This section describes the procedures you can use to verify your VIP6-80 installation, and includes information on the following topics: • Verifying the Installation, page 26 • Using show Commands to Verify the VIP6-80 Status, page 28 • Using show Commands to Display Interface Information, page 29 • Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity, page 31 Verifying the Installation This section describes how to verify the VIP6-80 installation by observing the
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet3/0/0, changed state to administratively down Use the following procedure to verify that the VIP6-80 is installed correctly: Step 1 Observe the console display messages and verify that the system discovers the VIP6-80, while the system reinitializes each interface, as follows: • If you installed a new VIP6-80, the system should recognize all new interfaces but leave them configured as down.
Step 9 Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 to verify that any additional VIP6-80s are properly installed. This completes the VIP6-80 installation. If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact TAC (see the “Obtaining Technical Assistance” section on page 38), or a service representative for assistance.
Using show Commands to Display Interface Information This section describes using show commands to display interface information. To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the interface type and interface address in the format show interfaces type interface-processor-slotnumber/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number.
To display hardware information about a specific interface on a VIP6-80 port adapter, append the type argument (fastethernet, hssi, and so forth) and the interface address argument (interface-processor-slot-number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number) to the show controllers command.

Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60: Router# ping 10.1.1.60 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms Router# If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
Note In the output display of the show diag command (see page 30), the line that begins with Controller Memory Size shows the amount of memory installed on the VIP6-80. Make a note of these memory values, then compare them after you upgrade memory to verify the upgrade.
Removing SDRAM DIMMs Use the following procedure to remove the existing DIMMs: Step 1 Turn off the system power and remove the VIP6-80 from the system. (Follow the steps in the “Removing a VIP6-80” section on page 18.) Step 2 Place the VIP6-80 on an antistatic mat or pad and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as a wrist strap. Step 3 Position the VIP6-80 so that the handles are away from you and the bus connectors are toward you—opposite of the position shown in Figure 2.
Step 8 Repeat Step 4 through Step 7 for the remaining DIMM, if required for your upgrade. This completes the DIMM removal procedure. Installing SDRAM DIMMs With the VIP6-80 handle away from you and the bus connector toward you, use the following procedure to install the new DIMM in the DIMM socket: Step 1 Remove the new DIMM from its antistatic container. Step 2 Hold the DIMM between your thumbs and forefingers. (See Figure 8.
Checking the VIP6-80 Memory Upgrade This section describes how you would verify the memory upgrade. • Observe the LED states and the console display. As the system reinitializes the interfaces, the enabled LEDs on the VIP6-80 PAs should go on. (Port adapter status LEDs might be on, depending on your connections.) The console screen also displays a message as the system discovers each interface during its reinitialization.
