To replace a Cisco Nexus 7010 fabric fan tray, follow these steps:

Step 1 Place an antistatic mat or antistatic foam where you can place the fan trays.

Choose a place that prevents damage to the module while it is outside the chassis.

Step 2 Place the replacement fan tray on the antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

Step 3 Loosen the two captive screws on the fabric fan tray that you are replacing by turning them counterclockwise until they are free of the chassis.

Step 4 Grasp the fan assembly handle with one hand, pull the fan tray out of its slot on the chassis, and place the fan tray on an antistatic pad or antistatic foam.

If the fan tray power connector does not easily unseat from the backplane, rock it gently.

Step 5 Grasp the handle for the replacement fan tray in one hand and orient it so that the side with two captive screws is on the left. Place your other hand under the fan tray to support its weight.

Step 6 Align the fan tray to the open fabric fan tray slot. When it is aligned with the left and right chassis guides for the fan module, push the fan module into the chassis until the power connector seats in the backplane and the captive screws are aligned to their holes in the chassis.

Step 7 Tighten the captive screws to 8 in-lb.

Replacing a CompactFlash Card

You can replace a CompactFlash card in either flash memory reader on any supervisor module. The replacement card must already be formatted for the reader or you must reformat the card after installing it.

Note The LOG FLASH and EXPANSION FLASH readers require different formats for their cards.

To replace a CompactFlash card, follow these steps:

Step 1 Press the Eject Request button for the reader that has the card to be replaced.

Step 2 Wait for the reader LED to turn off.

If you are removing a log flash card, you will see the following message:

switch# 2008 Mar 15 10:00:00 switch %$ VDC-1 %$ %IDEHSD-2-UMOUNT:logflash:offline

If you are removing an expansion flash card, you will see the following message:

switch# 2008 Mar 15 10:00:00 switch %$ VDC-1 %$ %IDEHSD-2-UMOUNT:slot0:offline

 

Step 3

Press the Eject button next to the reader.

 

 

The reader ejects the card part way out of the slot.

 

Step 4

Remove the card from the reader.

 

Step 5

Align the replacement card to the CompactFlash reader slot as shown in Figure 2-10 on page 2-17. The

 

 

grooves on the thin side of the card must begin on the end of the card that goes into the reader first.

 

Step 6

Push the card all the way into the reader.

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.
