Install and Remove Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules and Field Replaceable Units

This section describes how to install and remove Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules in the Cisco 1100 Terminal Gateway Routers. The information is contained in the following sections:

Install Small Form-Factor Pluggable Module

This section describes how to install optional SFP modules in the Cisco 1100 Series Terminal Services Gateway to provide optical Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.


Warning

Pluggable optical modules comply with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3 and 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 with or without exception for conformance with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3 as described in Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019. Statement 1255

Install Field Replaceable Units

This section describes how to install and remove field replaceable modules in the Cisco 1100 Terminal Gateway Routers.

The Network Interface Modules (NIMs) supported on Cisco 1100 Terminal Gateway Server are:

  • NIM-ES2-4

  • NIM-ES2-8

  • NIM-16A

  • NIM-24A

  • C-NIM-2T

    Note

    From Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.12.1a, only C1100TGX-1N24P32A SKU of the Cisco 1100 Terminal Services Gateway supports C-NIM-2T.
  • NIM-VAB-A

    Note

    From Cisco IOS XE 17.14.1a, NIM-VAB-A is supported on the Cisco 1100 Terminal Services Gateway.

Warning

Avoid using or servicing any equipment that has outdoor connections during an electrical storm. There may be a risk of electric shock from lightning. Statement 1088


Warning

Hazardous network voltages may be present in interface ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, before servicing, disconnect cables from the following ports: NIM-LTEA-EA, NIM-LTEA-LA Statement 1026


Warning

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the shield of the coaxial cable must be connected to the building earth. Statement 1253

Warning

To reduce the risk of electric shock, refer to national and local codes for proper installation and grounding of antennas. Statement 1052

Installing and Removing a NIM

To install a NIM, perform these steps:

  • Locate the NIM slot on the front panel.

  • Loosen the screws to open the NIM blank cover.

  • Insert the NIM into the slot.

  • Tighten the screws to secure the NIM in the slot.

To remove a NIM, perform these steps:

  • If the NIM is up and running, shut down the NIM gracefully before removing it.


Warning

If you do not shut down the NIM gracefully before removing it, the NIM card could get damaged.

  • Locate the NIM slot on the front panel.

  • Loosen the screws that secure the NIM.

  • Gently pull out the NIM from the slot


Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they reduce the risk of electric shock and fire; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029

Remove and Replace SSD Storage

Before you begin

The M.2 storage module is a hardware that is 22mm wide and 80mm long. This hardware comes with different storage capacities.

To install the M.2 storage module, perform these steps:

Procedure

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

Remove the SSD panel from the bottom side of chassis by unfastening the screws and keep the screws aside.

Step 2

Plug in the new M.2 storage module and secure it with the screws.

Do not remove the main cover of the chassis as there are no user replaceable parts inside.

Warning

 

No serviceable parts inside. To avoid risk of electric shock, do not open. Statement 1073

Step 3

Install the SSD panel back with the screws.

LTE Dongle Support on Cisco 1100 Series Terminal Gateway

Install a Micro-SIM Card into a USB LTE Dongle

This section describes how to insert a micro-SIM card into a USB LTE dongle.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. To insert a micro-SIM card into a USB LTE dongle, do these steps:
  2. To remove a micro-SIM card into a USB LTE dongle, do these steps:

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

To insert a micro-SIM card into a USB LTE dongle, do these steps:

  1. Tap open the micro-SIM protective cap on the USB dongle, gently insert the micro-SIM card with its edge oriented as shown in the figure until the SIM is seated in the socket.

  2. Tap close the micro-SIM protective cap on the USB to close the slot.

Step 2

To remove a micro-SIM card into a USB LTE dongle, do these steps:

  1. Tap open the dust cover, and then gently push the micro-SIM card to eject the card from the SIM slot.

  2. Tap close the micro-SIM protective cap on the USB to close the slot.

Note

 

The antenna orientation may need to be adjusted for optimal performance.

Connecting the USB LTE Dongle to the Terminal Server

This section provides the necessary steps to establish a successful connection between the USB LTE Dongle and the Terminal server.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Pick up the R-Brackets (700-121611-01) Place and fix the bracket at an appropriate location on the rack using two screws.
