RSP4+ Bootflash Memory Upgrade to 16MB

Installation and Configuration Guide

Product Numbers: MEM-16F-RSP4+=

Customer Order Number: DOC-7812288=

Introduction

An 8 MB bootflash image is supplied with the RSP4+, RSP4, RSP2, RSP1 and RSP7000 on the Cisco

7500 series routers. This image is insufficient to store newer, larger Cisco IOS Releases, such as

12.1(4.4)T2 and 12.1(5)T, and future releases on the RSP4+. Use the instructions in this document to

upgrade to a 16-MB bootflash. Alternatively, you can use Cisco IOS Release 12.0(13)S rsp-boot-mz

image or other image, which is less than 7.7 MB in size. Contact the Technical Assistance Center (see

Technical Assistance Center, page 19) for more information on this latter alternative.

Note: The RSP8 has 16 MB of Flash memory and does not encounter this problem.

Objectives

The purpose of this document is to explain how to perform the following procedures:

•Remove the 8-MB SIMM and install a 16-MB SIMM

•Upgrade the bootflash memory image

Installation Requirements

Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

•Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the router interior, locate the emergency

power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

•Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a router.

•Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

•Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard or makes the equipment unsafe.

•Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power

extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are

improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures.

Use the following guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

•Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.

•When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to

properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane.

•When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to

release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.

•Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or

connectors.

•Place a removed board component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container;

otherwise, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

•Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects

components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

•Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement

should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

Wrist Strap Warning

Warning

During this procedure, 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.

Waarschuwing

Draag tijdens deze procedure aardingspolsbanden om te vermijden dat de kaart

beschadigd wordt door elektrostatische ontlading. Raak het achterbord niet

rechtstreeks aan met uw hand of met een metalen werktuig, omdat u anders een

elektrische schok zou kunnen oplopen.

Varoitus

Käytä tämän toimenpiteen aikana maadoitettuja rannesuojia estääksesi kortin

vaurioitumisen sähköstaattisen purkauksen vuoksi. Älä kosketa taustalevyä suoraan

kädelläsi tai metallisella työkalulla sähköiskuvaaran takia.

Attention

Lors de cette procédure, toujours porter des bracelets antistatiques pour éviter que

desdéchargesélectriques n’endommagentlacarte.Pour éviter l’électrocution,nepas

toucher le fond de panier directement avec la main ni avec un outil métallique.

Warnung

Zur Vermeidung einer Beschädigung der Karte durch elektrostatische Entladung

während dieses Verfahrens ein Erdungsband am Handgelenk tragen. Bei Berührung

der Rückwand mit der Hand oder einem metallenen Werkzeug besteht

Elektroschockgefahr.

Avvertenza

Durante questa procedura, indossare bracciali antistatici per evitare danni alla

scheda causati da un’eventuale scarica elettrostatica. Non toccare direttamente il

pannello delle connessioni, né con le mani né con un qualsiasi utensile metallico,

perché esiste il pericolo di folgorazione.

Advarsel

Bruk jordingsarmbånd under prosedyren for å unngå ESD-skader på kortet. Unngå

direkte berøring av bakplanet med hånden eller metallverktøy, slik at di ikke får

elektrisk støt.

Aviso

Durante este procedimento e para evitar danos ESD causados à placa, use fitas de

ligação à terra para os pulsos. Para evitar o risco de choque eléctrico, não toque

directamente na parte posterior com a mão ou com qualquer ferramenta metálica.

¡Advertencia!

Usartiras conectadas a tierra en las muñecas durante este procedimiento para evitar

daños en la tarjeta causados por descargas electrostáticas. No tocar el plano

posterior con las manos ni con ninguna herramienta metálica, ya que podría producir

un choque eléctrico.

Varning!

Använd jordade armbandsremmar under denna procedur för att förhindra

elektrostatisk skada på kortet. Rör inte vid baksidan med handen eller metallverktyg

då detta kan orsaka elektrisk stöt.

RSP4+ Bootflash Memory Upgrade to 16MB Installation and Configuration Guide

78-12288-02

Overview

Bootflash is a single inline memory module (SIMM) with a bootloader image that allows the router to

access the Cisco IOS image when powering up or initializing the system. Bootloader images can be

downloaded over the network, or from a local server. Refer to Table 1 for a list of IOS images that require

a 16MB bootflash.

In this document, you will perform the following steps to upgrade the bootflash to 16MB:

•Confirm the bootflash size

•Remove the RSP4+

•Remove the 8-MB SIMM

•Install the 16-MB SIMM

•Reinstall the RSP4+

•Load and configure the new bootflash

Confirming the Bootflash Memory Size

To check the bootflash memory size on your RSP4+, use the show version command. The following

example indicates that the bootflash memory size is insufficient for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4.4)T2 and

12.1(5)T, and later releases.

Router# show version

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software

IOS (tm) 7500 Software (C7200-J-M), Released Version 12.0(2)

20480K bytes of Flash PCMCIA card at slot 0 (Sector size 128K).

8192K bytes of Flash internal SIMM (Sector size 256K)

Removing the RSP4+

The first step in upgrading the bootflash is to remove the RSP4+ from the Cisco 7500 series router.

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface.

Step 2 Turn off the system power.

Step 3 Disconnect the cables from the RSP4+.

Step 4 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at both ends of the board. (See Figure 1.)

Caution Use the ejector levers to remove or install the RSP4+. Failure to do so can cause erroneous

system error messages indicating a board failure.

Step 5 Place your thumbs on the ejector levers and simultaneously pull both of the ejectors outward (in the

opposite direction from that show in c in Figure 1) to release the RSP4+ from the backplane connector.

RSP4+ Bootflash Memory Upgrade to 16MB Installation and Configuration Guide 78-12288-02

Removing the RSP4+

Step 6 Use the RSP4+ handle to carefully pull it straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the

carrier to guide it. (See Figure 2.) Keep the RSP4+ parallel to the backplane. Avoid touching the board

or any connector pins.

Step 7 Place the removed RSP4+ on an antistatic mat or foam pad for installation later in this procedure.
