Installing the SP Bootflash Memory Upgrade Kit

The SP memory upgrade procedure is divided into the following tasks:

•Verifying the SP ROMMON Version, page 8

•Upgrading and Verifying the SP ROMMON Image, page 8

•Removing the Supervisor Engine 720, page 10

•Installing the CompactFlash Adapter, page 13

•Reinstalling the Supervisor Engine 720, page 16

If your system has redundant supervisor engines, you need to install the SP memory upgrade on both

supervisor engines. To install the SP memory upgrade on both supervisor engines:

•Perform the SP Bootflash memory upgrade procedure on the current standby supervisor engine.

•Perform a manual supervisor engine switchover, switching the upgraded standby supervisor engine

to active and the active supervisor engine to standby.

•Perform the SP Bootflash memory upgrade procedure on the current standby supervisor engine.

•If necessary, perform a manual supervisor engine switchover to restore the original redundant

supervisor engine configuration.

Verifying the SP ROMMON Version

An SP ROMMON upgrade may be required to support the CompactFlash adapter; you must determine

what SP ROMMON release is installed on the Supervisor Engine 720 prior to performing an SP

ROMMON upgrade. The minimum SP ROMMON release required is 8.4(2). To determine the currently

running SP ROMMON release, enter the remote command switch show version | include ROM

command

If your system is running SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2) or a later release, you can continue on to

“Removing the Supervisor Engine 720” section on page 10. If your SP ROMMON release is earlier than

8.4(2), you must upgrade the SP ROMMON image. Go to the “Upgrading and Verifying the SP

ROMMON Image” section on page 8.

Upgrading and Verifying the SP ROMMON Image

In order to utilize the SP CompactFlash adapter, your Supervisor Engine 720 must have SP ROMMON

Release 8.4(2) or a later release installed on it.

Note The upgrade task description is based on the Supervisor Engine 720 installed in a 9-slot chassis currently

running ROMMON from its S (Gold) region; the ROMMON upgrade to support the CompactFlash

adapter will be done in the F1 region.

Installing the SP Bootflash Memory Upgrade Kit

To upgrade your SP ROMMON, perform these steps:

Step 1 Download the latest SP ROMMON (c6ksup3-rm2.srec.8.4.2) from cisco.com and copy it to any of the

following locations: sup-bootflash:, bootflash:, disk0:, or disk1: by entering this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cat6000-rommon

Step 2 Display the SP ROMMON image status by entering the show rom-monitor slot 5 sp command

Note The system responds with a message indicating that SP is: “Currently running ROMMON from

the S (Gold) region.”

Step 3 Verify that the necessary SP ROMMON version is present by entering the dir

{sup-bootflash:|bootflash:|disk 0:|disk 1:} command.

Step 4 Upgrade the SP ROMMON image by entering the upgrade rom-monitor slot 5 sp file

{sup-bootflash:|bootflash:|disk 0:|disk 1:}c6ksup3-rm2.srec.8.4.2 command.

Note Slot 5 indicates the slot number of the supervisor engine to be upgraded; the supervisor engine

can be installed in either slot 5, slot 6, or in both slots.

Reload the switch by entering the reload command. At the prompt, type Yto confirm and press Enter.

Note Do not perform a Reset.

Step 5 Boot the Cisco IOS software from the boot device. At this point the SP ROMMON upgrade process is

complete; the next steps are used to verify that the upgrade has been completed correctly.

Step 6 Enter privileged EXEC mode by entering the enable command

Step 7 Display the SP ROMMON image status by entering the show rom-monitor slot 5 sp

Note The system responds with a message indicating that SP is “Currently running ROMMON from

F1 region.”

Step 8 Verify the SP ROMMON version by entering the remote command switch show version | include

ROM command.

Note You should see “ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 8.4(2).”

Installing the SP Bootflash Memory Upgrade Kit

Removing the Supervisor Engine 720

Warning

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

Statement 1030

The following tools are required to perform the bootflash upgrade kit installation:

•3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on the supervisor engine

•Antistatic mat or foam pad to support and protect the removed supervisor engine

•Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all

upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to

hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; 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

Warning

Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution

when servicing.

Statement 1034

Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling the Supervisor Engine 720 or coming in contact with

internal components.

To remove the supervisor engine, follow these steps:

Step 1 Power down your system.

Step 2 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the supervisor engine.

Step 3 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to

attach an ESD grounding strap, see the “Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap” section on page 24 for

instructions.)

Step 4 Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures

that the space created by the removed module is maintained.

Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push

the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to reinstall

the module.

Step 5 Loosen the two captive screws on the supervisor engine that is to be removed.
