Step 12 On the replacement supervisor module, rotate both of the ejector levers away from the front of the module.

Caution To prevent ESD damage, avoid touching the electronic circuitry and prevent anything else from coming in contact with the circuitry.

Step 13 If you are inserting the module into a Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, rotate the module 90 degrees clockwise.

Step 14 Align the module to the chassis guides for the vacated slot (slot 5 or 6 on a Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis or slot 9 or 10 on a Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis), and slide the module part way into the slot.

Step 15 With one or both hands on the front of the module, push the module all the way into the slot until it seats on the midplane connector.

Step 16 Slide the module into the slot until it seats on the midplane.

Step 17 Simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until they come in contact with the face of the module.

The module should be fully seated in the slot and the captive screws should be aligned with their holes in the chassis. If there is another module to the right of the one that you are installing, the EMI gasket should close the gap between the modules.

Step 18 Screw in the two captive screws to the chassis and tighten them to 69 N m (8 in-lbs).

Step 19 Reconnect the console cable to the CONSOLE SERIAL PORT as explained in the “Connecting to the Console” section on page 5-2.

Step 20 If the previous supervisor module was connected to an asynchronous device through a modem, connect the modem cable to the COM1/AUX SERIAL PORT as explained in the “Connecting to the Console” section on page 5-2.

Step 21 Reconnect the network management cable to the MGMT ETH port as explained in “Setting Up the Management Interface” section on page 5-4.

Step 22 Reconnect the CMP cable to the CMP MGMT ETH port as explained in “Connecting the Supervisor CMP Port” section on page 5-5.

The Cisco Nexus 7010 device has up to eight I/O modules, and a Cisco Nexus 7018 has up to 16 I/O modules. These modules are located on the front of the chassis. You can replace one of these modules at a time while the device is operating.

For instructions on replacing these I/O modules, see the following sections:

•Required Tools, page 8-8

Required Tools

You need a flat-blade or number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen or tighten the captive screws on the I/O module.

Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are pivotal in the landscape of networking, providing high-performance, reliable solutions for enterprise environments and service providers. These routers were designed to support the growing demands of digital communication, offering robust features that enhance connectivity and streamline network operations.

One of the primary characteristics of the Cisco 7000 series is its modular architecture. This allows for the integration of various interface modules and processing units, enabling organizations to customize their routers according to specific networking needs. The modularity supports scalability, as businesses can upgrade or replace components as their requirements evolve without having to replace the entire system.

The Cisco 7000 series incorporates advanced routing protocols, ensuring efficient data packet management and traffic flow. It supports multiple protocols, including OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP, facilitating seamless integration into a variety of network environments. This flexibility is essential in modern networks, where diverse communication protocols are in use.

Load balancing capabilities are another significant feature of the Cisco 7000 series. This functionality allows for the optimal distribution of network traffic across multiple paths, enhancing performance and redundancy. By ensuring that no single route is overwhelmed, organizations can maintain uptime and improve overall user experience.

Security is a top priority for many businesses, and the Cisco 7000 series addresses this need with built-in security features. It supports Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and access control lists (ACL) to provide secure remote access and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This capability is vital in today’s threat landscape, where data breaches can have far-reaching consequences.

The series also boasts high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like video conferencing and cloud computing. Coupled with Quality of Service (QoS) features, the Cisco 7000 ensures that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, thereby enhancing overall network performance.

In terms of manageability, the Cisco 7000 routers come equipped with advanced monitoring and diagnostic tools. Network administrators can easily track performance metrics and identify potential issues before they escalate, minimizing downtimes and maintaining business continuity.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are a sophisticated solution for organizations seeking to optimize their networking infrastructure. With modularity, robust routing protocols, load balancing, security features, high performance, and comprehensive manageability, the Cisco 7000 series stands out as a reliable foundation for successful network operations in an increasingly connected world.
