Configuring the Interface Processor

Step 6 While keeping the interface processor parallel to the backplane, carefully slide the interface processor

into the slot until the back of the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, then stop. (See

Figure 13b.)

Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing processor modules. A module that is

partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to hang and subsequently crash.

Step 7 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand to pinch each ejector lever, simultaneously push the top

ejector lever down and the bottom ejector lever up until both are parallel to the faceplate. (See

Figure 13c.)

Step 8 Tighten the captive screws on the top and bottom of the interface processor faceplate to prevent the

interface processor from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane and ensure proper EMI

shielding. (These screws must be tightened to meet EMI specifications.)

Caution To ensure adequate space for additional interface processors, always tighten the captive installation

screws on each newly installed interface processor before you insert any additional interface

processors. These screws also prevent accidental removal, and provide proper grounding and EMI

shielding for the system.

This completes the procedure for installing an interface processor.

Connecting the Interface Processor Cables

For instructions on installing the cables, refer to your interface processor installation and configuration

guide at: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7505/interpro/index.htm.

Configuring the Interface Processor

For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for your

interface processor, refer to the configuration note for your interface processor and to the appropriate

Cisco IOS software configuration publications. (See the “Related Documentation” section on page 2.)

Using the EXEC Command Interpreter

After you have connected your interface processor interface cables, but before you can use the interfaces,

you must configure them using the configure command. However, before you can use the configure

command, you must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter with the enable

command. The system will prompt you for a password if one has been set; this applies to all interface

processors. The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle

bracket (>).
