58CHAPTER 7: FLEXIBLE INTERFACE CARDS

Remove FIC Use the following procedure to remove a FIC:

1Issue command to remove FIC.

2Place the Router with the front panel forward.

3Remove the cables connected to the FIC.

4Loosen the captive screws at both sides of the FIC.

5Pull the ejector levers at both sides of the FIC outward, pull the FIC out of the slot along the guides until disengaging it totally from the slot.

Install FIC Use the following procedure to install a FIC:

1Place the Router with the front panel forward.

2Align the remote edge of the FIC with the slot edge, push it into the slot, pull the ejector levers inward until it presses against the FIC panel (the angles thus formed between the FIC panel and the levers are the minimum angles).

3Fix the FIC in the chassis by fastening the captive screws.

4Repeat these steps to install all the other FICs.

Troubleshooting The 6000 FICs have LEDs for status reporting. Generally, you can locate the problem by performing the following operations if an FIC is not working normally:

Check the interface cables, making sure that you have used the correct cables.

View the LEDs on the FIC panel, ensuring that the FIC is working normally. Execute the configured display command, ensuring that the interface has

 

accepted the configuration and is working normally.

 

If anomalies occur without executing the remove slot command, you can

 

perform the following operation.

 

Restart the router (sometimes the router automatically restarts), and check if

 

the problem has been solved.

 

 

 

2-port 10/100 FIC

The 2-port 10/100 FIC is used for the communications between the Router and

(3C13861)

LAN(s). The 2-port 10/100 FIC provides two 10/100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet interfaces.

 

The card supports:

 

 

 

The transmission distance of 100 meters if the category-5 twisted pairs are

 

used.

 

 

 

The operation at the speeds of 100Mbps and 10Mbps, and autosensing.

 

Full duplex and half-duplex, with the former one in common use.
