Second-Generation Channel Interface Processor (CIP2) Installation and Configuration 31
CIP2 Hardware Installation
Removing a CIP2 or an Interface Processor Filler
You do not need to shut down the interface or the system power when you remove a CIP2; however,
to prevent a possible interface control check on the mainframe, consult with your system
administrator to take appropriate precautions. If you are installing a new CIP2, select an available
slot and remove the interface processor filler. If you are replacing a CIP2, first remove the existing
CIP2 and immediately place it component side up on an antistatic surface, then insert the new CIP2
in the same slot to retain the previous configuration for the new channel interface.
Figure 17 shows proper handling of an interface processor for installation in the Cisco 7010 or Cisco
7505 models. The processor slots are oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505, and
vertically in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513. When installing interface processors in
these latter chassis, handle the interface processor in the same manner, but rotated 90 degrees
clockwise.
