Installation Guidelines
Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when installing an MSFC2 on a supervisor engine:
•The hardware on both supervisor engines in a single chassis must be identical. You cannot mix an MSFC and an MSFC2 in the same chassis. You must shut down the switch to install the MSFC2, even if you have redundant supervisor engines.
•If you have redundant supervisor engines, you must install an MSFC2 on each supervisor engine.
•The Supervisor Engine 1A with only a PFC cannot be upgraded to MSFC2. There are no standoffs installed for securing the MSFC2 to the supervisor engine.
•The Supervisor Engine 1A with a PFC and an MSFC
•The Supervisor Engine 2 with a PFC2
Preparing the Supervisor Engine
Note Review the guidelines in the “Software Requirements” section on page 6 before you prepare the supervisor engine.
To install the MSFC2 on a Supervisor Engine 1A with a PFC and an MSFC, you must shut down the switch, remove the Supervisor Engine 1A from the chassis, and remove the MSFC from the Supervisor Engine 1A.
To install the MSFC2 on a Supervisor Engine 2, you must shut down the switch and remove the Supervisor Engine 2 from the chassis.
Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components.
Before you remove a supervisor engine, you should first upload the current configuration to a server. This saves time when bringing the module back online. You can recover the configuration by downloading it from the server to the nonvolatile memory of the supervisor engine. For more information, refer to Chapter 26, “Working with Configuration Files,” in the Catalyst 6000 Family Software Configuration Guide.
