Figure 1 Ethernet Connector Locks, Slide-Type and Jackscrew-Type
The EIP is the 2, 4, or 6-port high-speed Ethernet interface processor for the Cisco 7000 router. The EIP and other interface processors (IPs) slide into slots in the rear of the router chassis (which is shown in Figure 2) and connect directly to the backplane. You can replace the connector locks while the EIP is installed in the chassis, provided that you first shut down the interface ports on which you will change connector locks. Figure 2 shows a 6-port EIP installed in IP slot 1.
