Chapter 5 Installing and Removing a Shared Port Adapter
Checking the Installation
When you reinsert the SIP, the system automatically brings up the interfaces that were up
when the SIP was removed.
Router#
18:05:00: %OIR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 3, interfaces administratively shut down
18:05:08: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet3/0, changed state
to up
Note
When a new SIP is inserted or when a SIP is moved to a new slot, the system recognizes the new
interfaces but leaves them in the shutdown state until you configure them and change their state to up.
The following sample display shows the events logged by the system as you insert a new SIP in module
slot 3.
Router#
18:05:25: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet3/1, changed state
to down
Use the following procedure to verify that the SIP is installed correctly:
Step 1
Observe the console display messages and verify that the system discovers the SIP, while the system
reinitializes each interface, as follows:
•
If you installed a new SIP, the STATUS LED should be on (green). The system should recognize all
new interfaces but leave them configured as down.
•
If you replaced a SIP, the STATUS LED should be on (green). The system does not recognize each
interface and places it in the administratively down state.
Step 2
Verify that the ENABLED LED on the SPA goes on (is green) and remains on after the reinitialization
is complete. If the ENABLED LED remains on, proceed to
. If the ENABLED LED does not
remain on, proceed to
Step 3
If the ENABLED LED on a SPA fails to go on, the SPA or the SIP might not be fully seated even if the
SPA lock is in the locked and horizontal position. When a SPA is not recognized, the SIP is deactivated,
and its OIR LED is yellow.
•
Remove the SIP from the router.
•
Remove the SPA from the SIP.
•
Inspect the SIP and the SPA. Verify there are no bent pins or parts and that there is nothing lodged
in the two devices that could prevent a good connection.
•
Insert the SPA in the SIP by sliding the SPA all the way in the SIP until the SPA is firmly seated in
the SPA interface connector. When fully seated in the SIP, the SPA might be slightly behind the SIP
faceplate.
•
Insert the SIP into the router.
•
After the system reinitialization, the ENABLED LED on the SPA should go on and remain on. If the
ENABLED LED remains on, proceed to
.
Step 4
If the ENABLED LED on a SPA still fails to go on, remove the SIP and install it in another available
slot on the router.
•
If the ENABLED LED goes on, suspect a failed backplane port in the original slot.
•
If the ENABLED LED fails to go on, remove the SIP and ensure the SPA is firmly seated in its slot.
Remove and reinstall it accordingly.
