Removing and Replacing the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 DIMM Memory Modules

The Cisco ASR1000-RP1 module memory interface supports two DDR-II SDRAM MiniDIMMs with ECC protection.


Note
Unlike the Cisco ASR 1006, ASR 1004, and ASR 1013 routers, the DIMM memory interface is not field-replaceable on the Cisco ASR 1002 router.

This section provides instructions for removing and replacing the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 Mini DIMM memory modules.


Note
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP memory spares are sold as pairs. For example, the 2 GB memory spare (M-ASR1K-RP1-2GB=) is sold as a pair of 1 GB modules and the 4 GB memory spare (M-ASR1K-RP1-4GB=) is sold as a pair of 2 GB modules. Memory repairs or upgrades must utilize the complete memory pairs as shipped from Cisco. For example, if 1 of the 2 memory modules were to fail on the Cisco ASR 1000route processor, then both memory modules must be removed and replaced with a spare memory pair (as shipped from Cisco) and the failing memory should be returned as a pair to Cisco.To prevent the system from operating incorrectly, do not mix modules from different vendors. The modules might not be compatible with each other.

Warning

During these procedures, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94

The following table shows the slots that are supported for inserting memory DIMMs in Cisco ASR1000-RP1

Perform the following steps before you begin:

  • Use an ESD-preventive wrist strap
  • Back up data before replacing a eUSB device.
  • The card is keyed and slotted for easier connection.
  • Never wiggle the DIMM.
  • Handle the connector according to the instructions (see xref Figure 14-15).

To replace or upgrade the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 DIMM memory spare, follow these steps:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted router surface.
  2. Locate the DIMM on the system board.
  3. Press both spring latches outward to release the DIMM.
  4. Pull the latches away from the DIMM on both edges. This lifts the DIMM slightly. Gently lift the DIMM free from the DIMM connector, taking care not to touch the pins that insert into the socket.
  5. Place the DIMM in an antistatic bag to protect the DIMM from ESD damage.
  6. To install the DIMM memory card, locate the notches and align the DIMM with the socket before inserting it.
  7. Make certain that both latches on the DIMM connector are open.
  8. Gently insert the new DIMM, taking care not to damage the pins on the edge of the DIMM.Using two hands, place the index fingers on the edge of the DIMM and place the thumbs on the socket, being careful not to touch the socket pins. Press on the back of the DIMM towards the socket by squeezing the index fingers and the thumbs together, being careful to only apply force onto the DIMM parallel with the plane of the DIMM.
  9. To allow the DIMM to slide into the socket smoothly with minimum force, one can alternate applying force back and forth between the left hand and the right hand, allowing one side to engage prior to the other. Carefully and firmly press the DIMM into the connector until the spring latches lock the DIMM in place. See Figure 14-12.
  10. Slide the DIMM one side at a time. Use light insertion force and insert smoothly; but make certain the DIMM is inserted straight .

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted router surface.

Step 2

Locate the DIMM on the system board.

Note 
The DIMMs shown in xref Figure 14-12 and Figure 14-13 are representative and might not look exactly like the DIMMs used on the RP; but the procedure is the same.
Step 3

Note 
Hold the DIMM with two hands at its edge and insert the card.
Step 7

Make certain that both latches on the DIMM connector are open.

Step 8

Gently insert the new DIMM, taking care not to damage the pins on the edge of the DIMM.Using two hands, place the index fingers on the edge of the DIMM and place the thumbs on the socket, being careful not to touch the socket pins. Press on the back of the DIMM towards the socket by squeezing the index fingers and the thumbs together, being careful to only apply force onto the DIMM parallel with the plane of the DIMM.

Step 9

To allow the DIMM to slide into the socket smoothly with minimum force, one can alternate applying force back and forth between the left hand and the right hand, allowing one side to engage prior to the other. Carefully and firmly press the DIMM into the connector until the spring latches lock the DIMM in place. See Figure 14-12.

Caution 

Strong insertion force introduces excessive mechanical stress on the DIMM. To prevent any stress on the soldering joints, there should be no up, down, or wiggling motion to be done on the DIMM during the insertion. Forcing the DIMM into the socket can damage the DIMM. Check that the notches on the DIMM are properly aligned with the ones on the connector before fully inserting the DIMM.

The following figure shows how the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP DIMM module must not be handled.

Figure 15. Handling Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP DIMM Module
Step 10

Slide the DIMM one side at a time. Use light insertion force and insert smoothly; but make certain the DIMM is inserted straight .

Note 
Make sure you perform steps 3 thru 11 for both DIMMs on the RP 1 before you replace the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 in the system. Replace the Cisco ASR1000-RP1. All DIMMS must be replaced; not just one.

Step 7

When the DIMM is installed, check that the release lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket. If it is not, the DIMM might not be seated properly. If the DIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it according to the removal procedure and then reseat it in the socket. Push the DIMM firmly back into the socket until the release lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket.

Step 8

Repeat Step 3 through Step 7 for the remaining DIMMs.

Step 9

Replace the module.

What to do next

This completes the procedure for replacing Cisco ASR1002-X Router DIMMs.

After you have correctly installed the DIMMs and reinstalled the route processor, the system should reboot correctly.

If the system fails to boot properly or if the console terminal displays a checksum or memory error after you have installed new DIMMs, ensure that all DIMMs are installed correctly. If necessary, shut down the system and remove the route processor. Check the DIMMs by looking straight down on them to inspect them at eye level. The DIMMs should all be aligned at the same angle and the same height when properly installed. If a DIMM appears to stick out or rest in the socket at a different angle from the others, remove the DIMM and reinsert it. Then replace the route processor and reboot the system for another installation check.


Note
If after several attempts the system fails to restart properly, contact a service representative for assistance. Before you call, make note of any error messages, unusual LED states, or any other indications that might help solve the problem.

Removing and Replacing Cisco ASR 1000 Router eUSB Devices

The Cisco ASR1000-RP1 and ASR1000-RP2 come with an embedded USB (eUSB) flash device that functions as the route processor Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) and boot disk of the route processor. The Cisco ASR1000-RP1 supports a 1 GB eUSB flash field-replaceable unit (FRU), and the Cisco ASR1000-RP2 supports a 2 GB eUSB on the Cisco ASR 1006 Router and the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.

The Cisco ASR 1001 Router has only one eUSB on the chassis. It is located at the eUSB connector P26, as shown in xref figure. To replace this component, you must remove a screw on the mounting hole.

Minimum Requirements of eUSB Devices Supported on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers

This section provides details regarding addition of an output message, indicating whether the eUSB device currently used on the Route Processor (RP) is correct or the eUSB device is of less capacity and is incompatible with the RP. This additional message has been introduced for the ASR 1000 Chassis Types (2,4,6,13RU) in Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3.0S. Additionally, this change specifically for Cisco ASR 1001 Router Chassis has been introduced in the Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0S.

Previous Behavior

Some of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers were shipped with low-capacity eUSB devices on the Route-processor boards. It is not an easy way to detect the presence of an invalid eUSB device with low capacity on the RP. As the RP boards has already been shipped, it is important to provide information about the presence of an incorrect eUSB device or a eUSB device with less capacity. Earlier, an additional informational message was not displayed even if the eUSB device was of less capacity for the RP used on the system.

Corrective Action Required

If the eUSB device is of less capacity and is not compatible as indicated in the Cisco IOS message then you need to contact Cisco System Inc. and get the eUSB replaced. Prolonged use of routers with less capacity eUSB devices would result in unpredictable behavior.

New Behavior

From Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3.0 onwards, an additional message is displayed on the auxiliary port and on the Cisco IOS console port, providing information whether the eUSB device currently used is correct. For Cisco ASR 1001 Router, this change for eUSB compatibility has been implemented from Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0S onwards. The recommended eUSB devices with the minimum memory capacity for the RP types compatible are:

Table 6. Matrix for eUSB Memory Capacity Support and Route Processor on ASR 1000 Routers

Router Type

13RI-RP1

1 (subject to change)

4RU-RP2

2

When the system is started, Cisco IOS Software detects the capacity of the eUSB device currently used on the system. If the eUSB device matches the minimum value of the eUSB capacity as specified above then no messages are displayed at the Cisco IOS console.

However, an informational message is displayed at the auxiliary port. For example, on a 6RU system, at the auxiliary port, the following message appears if the eUSB is valid:

.... 


Checking eUSB capacity information for 6RU:ASR1000-RP1 ... 1003520 KBytes [ OK ]
..

However, when an invalid eUSB device is found, the following messages are displayed at the Cisco IOS Console: 


...
    %IOSXEBOOT-4-EUSB_PROVISIONING: (rp/0): Unsupported low capacity eUSB detected in 2RU board
...

The following message is displayed at the auxiliary port: 


...
    Checking eUSB capacity information for 2RU:ASR1000-RP-2RU ... 
	 The capacity of the installed eUSB device is insufficient.
	 It is 1003520 KBytes. The recommended capacity is 8 GByte(s).
	%IOSXEBOOT-4-EUSB_PROVISIONING: (rp/0): Unsupported low capacity eUSB detected in 2RU board
...

Note
Even though this message is displayed, the system is permitted to proceed through it’s bring up and should start functioning properly initially. The router should perform normally until the free resource available in the eUSB device drops to an unacceptably low level. That low threshold is non-deterministic and hence the invalid eUSB device should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. System behavior is unpredictable when the eUSB resources are running low.

Removing and Replacing Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Service Processors

The following sections describe the procedures for replacing the Cisco ASR 1000 Series embedded service processors in your system. The module also contains card handles to assist in insertion and removal of the module and retention of the module into the chassis. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series embedded services processors have no front panel I/O connectors.


Note
See xref Table 1-2 for information about the embedded services processors that are supported on the various Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Routers. On some routers, the embedded services processor is an integral part of the router. On these routers, you cannot remove the embedded services processor. For example, Cisco ASR1002-ESP-F is integrated on the chassis of Cisco ASR 1002-F Router.

This section contains the following topics:


Note
Before you begin the procedure, verify that your system meets the minimum requirements as described in xref Chapter 2, “Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Component Overview.”

Important Notes about Cisco ASR1000-ESP Upgrades

You can upgrade from an earlier release of an embedded services processor to a later release. For example, a router can be upgraded from Cisco ASR1000-ESP10 to Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 or from Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 to Cisco ASR1000-ESP40.

The following sample procedure describes an upgrade from Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 to Cisco ASR1000-ESP40 on Cisco ASR 1006 Router:

Procedure

Step 1

Ensure that Cisco ASR 1006 Router has Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 in the F0 slot in the Active state.

Step 2

Insert Cisco ASR1000-ESP40 in the F1 slot. The Cisco ASR1000-ESP40 comes up as the standby.

Step 3

Reload Cisco ASR1000-ESP20. The ASR1000-ESP40 becomes active, the Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 is disabled, and an error message is displayed.

Note 
If there are two different versions of the Cisco ASR1000-ESP in a router when you reload, the F0 slot always comes up as Active and the F1 slot comes up as Standby or Disabled, depending on whether the F1 slot has a later version of the Cisco ASR1000-ESP or an earlier one. A downgrade from a later version ESP to an earlier version is not supported and that is the reason the Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 is disabled in this step. To downgrade back to a Cisco ASR1000-ESP20, you must remove the Cisco ASR1000-ESP40 and reload the router. Similarly, to downgrade back to a Cisco ASR1000-ESP10 from a Cisco ASR1000-ESP20, you must remove the Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 and reload the router.

Caution

When removing or replacing SPAs, make certain that all the screw fasteners on each card and each SIP are screwed in tightly to prevent accidental removal of another card. Each SIP has two screw fasteners per slot and each SPA has two screw fasteners.

We suggest you have the following tools and parts readily available for installation of the SIPs and SPAs:

  • Number 2 Phillips or a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
  • Shared port adapter interface processor (SIP)
  • Shared port adapters (SPAs)
  • Cables
  • Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
  • Antistatic mat or surface, or static shielding bag

If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.

Electrostatic Discharge Prevention

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry. ESD occurs when printed circuit boards are improperly handled and results in complete or intermittent failures.

Each SPA circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. The SIP and SPAs consist of a printed circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors, and a handle are integral components of the carrier.

When a subslot is not in use, a SPA blank filler plate must fill the empty subslot to allow the router to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the installed modules. If you plan to install a SPA in a subslot that is not in use, you must first remove the SPA blank filler plate.


Caution

Always handle the SIP by the carrier edges and its handle; never touch the SIP components or connector pins.

Figure 36. Handling the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface Processor

Add a callout table.

1 - Printed circuit board

2 - Metal carrier

Although the metal carrier helps to protect the SIP and SPA from ESD, wear a preventive antistatic strap whenever handling the SIP and SPA. Ensure that the strap makes good skin contact and connect the strap’s clip to an unpainted chassis surface to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.

If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

  • Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap when installing or replacing the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface (SIP) and shared port adapter. Ensure that the ESD strap makes contact with your skin.
  • Handle the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface (SIP) or shared port adapter by its metal carrier edges and handles; avoid touching the printed circuit board or any connector pins.
  • When removing an Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface (SIP) or shared port adapter, place it on an antistatic surface with the printed circuit board components facing upward, or in a static shielding bag. If you are returning a shared port adapter or Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface (SIP) to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.

If you remove a power supply from a system that are connected and powered on, the system can run only for a maximum of five minutes before shutting down. However, because the fans and power elements are independent within the power supply, the replacement power supply does not have to be energized within five minutes. The only requirement is that the power supply be installed in the chassis in order to energize the fans and maintain proper system cooling.

Step 6

Grasping the power supply handles, pull the power supply from the chassis.

Step 7

Replace the +24 VDC power supply within five minutes.

What to do next

This completes the procedure of removing a +24 VDC power supply from the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.

Replacing the +24 VDC Power Supply in Cisco ASR 1002 Router

The +24 VDC power supply uses a spring-loaded terminal block. The input terminal block requires 8 AWG multi-strand wiring to support input current. Features are provide for strain relieving the input wires from the terminal block on the front panel. The recommended branch circuit breaker for the Cisco ASR 1002 Router +24 VDC power supply is 40 A UL listed circuit breaker.

Before you begin, read these important notices about the +24 VDC power supply:

  • The labeling displays +27 VDC INPUT. This labeling describes the nominal voltage provided at a cell site.
  • Observe the polarity—Unlike the polarity labels of the –48 VDC power supply (ground, positive, negative), the polarity labels on the +24 VDC are ground, negative, positive as shown in xref fig from right to left as they appear on the actual power supply unit.
  • The ground (GND) lead is always installed first and removed last.
  • The +24 VDC power supply uses a spring loaded terminal block; therefore have the recommended screwdriver size available.
  • Review the diagrams to see how the wire is stripped and how the screwdriver is inserted at an angle into the terminal block.
  • Have the following equipment available to install and remove the +24 VDC power supply:
    • 3.5mm flat-blade screwdriver
    • 8-gauge wire

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. At the front of the router, make sure the power switch is in the standby (|) position.
  2. Move the circuit-breaker switch handle to the off position, and apply tape to hold it in the off position.
  3. Gather the DC power supply terminal block plug.
  4. Insert the lead wires before inserting the plug into the terminal block header on the DC power supply.
  5. Use a 10 gauge wire-stripping tool to strip each of the three wires coming from the DC input power source. If you are using the connector plug with the raised screw holes, strip the wires to 0.39 inch (10 mm) + 0.02 inch (0.5 mm). If you are using the connector plug with the screw holes that are not raised, strip the wires to 0.27 inch (7 mm) + 0.02 inch (0.5 mm). Do not strip more than the recommended length of wire because doing so could leave the wire exposed from the terminal block plug. The following figure shows a stripped DC input power source wire.
  6. Identify the positive, negative, and ground feed positions for the terminal block connection. The recommended wiring sequence is:
  7. Insert the exposed wire of one of the ground wire into the terminal block plug. Make sure that you cannot see any wire lead. Only wire with insulation should extend from the terminal block.
  8. Use a ratcheting torque screwdriver to torque the terminal block plug captive screw (above the installed wire lead) to from 0.5 Nm (4.425 lbf in. to 0.6 Nm (5.310 lbf in.) as shown in the following figure.
  9. Repeat Step 6 through Step 8 for the remaining two DC input power source wires, the positive lead wire and the negative lead wire (see the following figure).
  10. Use a tie wrap to secure the wires to the rack, so that the wires are not pulled from the terminal block plug by casual contact. Make sure the tie wrap allows for some slack in the ground wire as shown in the following figure.
  11. Make certain the terminal block plug is fully seated in the terminal block header on the DC power supply panel. You will hear a snap or click when installed properly.
  12. Remove the tape (if any) from the circuit-breaker switch handle and move the circuit-breaker switch handle to the on position.
