Cisco Systems CX-FEIP-1TX=, CX-FEIP-1FX=, CX-FEIP-2TX= List of Parts and Tools, Safety Guidelines

Installation Prerequisites

Each FEIP is a fixed configuration; therefore, individual port adapters are not available as spare parts and are not field-replaceable or removable. The entire FEIP assembly is treated as a field-replaceable unit (FRU). Do not attempt to remove an FEIP’s port adapter and replace it with another. Do not attempt to simultaneously operate 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX port adapters on the same FEIP.

List of Parts and Tools

You need the following tools and parts to install or upgrade an FEIP. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.

•CX-FEIP-1TX(=), CX-FEIP-2TX(=), CX-FEIP-1FX(=), or CX-FEIP-2FX(=), and at least one available interface processor slot in your Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series router (For specific compatibility requirements, refer to the section “Software and Hardware Prerequisites” on page 3.)

•Cables appropriate for the interfaces on your FEIP; Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cables, MII cables, or SC-type cables; these cables are available commercially. (For specific cable requirements, refer to the section “FEIP Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts” on page 17.)

Caution Before you attach an MII transceiver to an MII receptacle on your FEIP, ensure that your MII transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0 per section 22.2.4.4. “PHY Address” of the IEEE 802.3u specification; otherwise, interface problems might result. Confirm that this capability is available on your MII transceiver with the transceiver's vendor or in the transceiver's documentation. If a selection for “Isolation Mode” is available, we recommend you use this setting (if no mention is made of “PHY addressing”).

Caution To prevent system problems, do not simultaneously connect cables to the RJ-45 (or SC) and MII receptacles on a single FEIP interface. Each interface (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX) can have either an MII attachment or an RJ-45 (or SC) attachment, but not both. The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles represent two physical connection options for one interface.

•Number 1 Phillips and a 3/16-inch, flat-blade screwdriver

•Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade kits, FRUs, and spares

Safety Guidelines

Following are safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

•Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

•

•

•

Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis

Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
