36 Ethernet Interface Processor (EIP) Installation and Conﬁguration

Replacing Connector Locks

Step 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second jackscrew and lock washer, placing the second

jackscrew in the other threaded hole on the connector.

Step 5 Observe both jackscrews edge-on and turn them another half turn to ensure they are

threaded properly.

Step 6 Use the 3/16-inch nut driver to tighten the jackscrews in the connector. Do not overtighten

the screws; the lock washer will secure the jackscrews in place, and the thumbscrews on the

cable connector, when inserted and tightened, will further tighten the jackscrews.

Step 7

Repeat steps 1 through 6 for all additional ports that require jackscrews.

Step 8 This step applies only if you are reinstalling or replacing an EIP and you had already

conﬁgured the interfaces: To bring back up any interfaces that you shut down, enter the

privileged level and, at the EXEC prompt, enter the following:

Router# configure terminal

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

Router(config)#

Router(config)# interface ethernet slot/port

Router(config-int)# no shutdown

Router(config-int)# interface ethernet slot/port

Router(config-int)# no shutdown

Router(config-int)# ^z

Router# copy running-config startup-config

[OK]

Router#

This completes the connector lock replacement procedure. If you are installing a new EIP, return to

“Installing an EIP” to continue with the installation. If you changed the cable locks on an EIP that

was already installed and conﬁgured, proceed to the section “Checking the Conﬁguration” on page

29, to verify the status of the interfaces.
