Chapter 9 Removal and Replacement Procedures
Removing and Replacing Shared Port Adapters
After you verify installation of an SCE8000 module and check connectivity, you must configure the
module. For complete information on configuring the Cisco SCE8000 platform, refer to the Cisco
SCE8000 Software Configuration Guide. For information on all Cisco SCE8000 platform commands,
refer to the Cisco SCE8000 CLI Command Reference publication.
Removing and Replacing Shared Port Adapters
When removing and replacing the 1-port 10GBE SPAs, please follow these guidelines:
• SPAs must be installed in pairs. The Cisco SCE8000 supports the following SPA configurations:
–
Two SPAs inserted in subslots 0 and 1
–
Four SPAs
• If only two SPAs are installed sublots 2 and 3 must be covered by blank filler panels.

Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and parts to install SPAs. If you need additional equipment, contact a
service representative for ordering information.
• Shared port adapter (SPA)
• Number 1 Phillips and a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
• Your own electrostatic discharge (ESD)-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist
strap supplied with the SPA
• Antistatic container that the SPA was shipped in
Laser/LED Safety
An optical single-mode transmitter uses a small laser to transmit the light signal to the network ring.
Keep the transmit port covered whenever a cable is not connected to it. Although multi-mode
transceivers typically use LEDs for transmission, it is good practice to keep open ports covered and avoid
staring into open ports or apertures. The transceivers aperture port contains a laser warning label, as
shown in Figure 9-15. These warnings apply to SPAs and XFP modules that transmit signals via an
optical carrier signal.
