Ethernet Interface Processor (EIP) Installation and Configuration 35

Replacing Connector Locks

Step 3 At the router privileged-mode prompt, enter the following command:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 4 Specify an Ethernet interface and enter the shutdown command to shut down the interface:

Router(config)# interface ethernet slot/port

Router(config-int)# shutdown

Repeat step 4 for each Ethernet interface.

Step 5 When all Ethernet interfaces on the EIP have been shut down, press Ctrl-Z (hold the

Control key down and press z) to exit from conﬁguration mode.

Removing the Slide-Type Lock

The bracket for slide-type locks is secured to the EIP port with two small screws. You can complete

this replacement procedure without removing the EIP from the chassis, but you should ﬁrst shut

down the interfaces you will work on. Following are the steps to remove slide-type locks from EIP

ports:

Step 1 Review the section “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage” on page 15 and

make sure that you are wearing a grounding wrist strap that is attached to a captive

installation screw on a power supply.

Step 2 On the ﬁrst connector port to be changed, use the 1/8-inch screwdriver to loosen and

remove the two small screws that secure the bracket to the connector port.

Step 3 Pull the slide-type lock bracket, which is shown in Figure 16, off the connector.

Step 4

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all additional ports that require jackscrews.

Step 5 Place the removed brackets and slotted screws aside; you can discard them after the

jackscrews are installed, and the installation is complete.

Installing the Jackscrews

Use the hardware provided in the replacement kit to reinstall the connector. Do not use any of the

hardware you removed from the slide-type lock bracket.

Step 1 Ensure that you have removed the slide-type lock bracket, shown in Figure 16, from the

connector port.

Step 2 Insert a lock washer onto the shaft of a jackscrew and push it up to the head of the

jackscrew.

Step 3 Insert the jackscrew into one of the threaded holes on the connector. (See Figure 17.) Turn

the jackscrew clockwise about two full turns to thread it into the hole.
