CHAPTER 1
Overview of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series MIP and
EPAs
This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Interface Processor
(ASR1000-MIP100), and Ethernet port adapters (EPAs).
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Introduction to MIPs and EPAs, page 1-1
• MIP and EPA Hardware and Software Compatibility Matrix, page 1-3
• Modular Optics Compatibility, page 1-4
• Displaying the Cisco ASR 1000 Series MIP Hardware Type, page 1-5

• LED Details, page 1-9
Introduction to MIPs and EPAs

Cisco ASR 1000 Series modular interface processors (MIPs) and Ethernet port adapters (EPAs) use a
carrier card and port adapter architecture that increases modularity, flexibility, and density across Cisco
routers for network connectivity. This section describes the MIPs and EPAs, and provides some
guidelines for their use.
Modular Interface Processors

The ASR1000-MIP100 is a modular interface processor with a 100 Gbps connection to the backplane,
for the ASR 1000 platform. However, it can have an interface bandwidth of up to 200 Gbps. The
ASR1000-MIP100 provides higher I/O speeds, increased density, and interface flexibility to the
ASR1000.
The ASR1000-MIP100 is capable of 100 Gbps full-duplex traffic forwarded using a modular-port
interface design. The ASR1000-MIP100 architecture is composed of a host carrier card, which accepts
up to two EPAs.

1 MIP, with EPA in subslot 0 2 MIP, with EPA in subslot 1
The following list describes some of the general characteristics of a MIP:

• A MIP is a carrier card that inserts into a router slot like a line card. It provides no network
connectivity on its own.
• A MIP has two subslots, which are used to house up to two EPAs. The EPA provides interface ports
for network connectivity.
• During normal operation, the MIP should reside in the router fully populated either with functional
EPAs in all subslots, or with a blank filler plate (EPA-BLANK=) inserted in all empty subslots.
• MIPs support online insertion and removal (OIR) with EPAs inserted in their subslots. EPAs also
support OIR and can be inserted or removed independently from the MIP.
Note Fully populate all slots and subslots with functional EPAs or blank filler plates for maximum efficiency
of the cooling system.
Ethernet Port Adapters

EPAs are small plug-in modules containing circuitry to provide optical or electrical network interfaces.
The packet data between the EPA and MIP carrier card can support a 100Gbps full-duplex bandwidth.
The data path supports operating at various predefined data rates and protocols.
The following list describes some of the general characteristics of an EPA:
• An EPA is a modular type of port adapter that inserts into a subslot of a compatible MIP carrier card
to provide network connectivity and increased interface port density.
• EPA inserts into one of the MIP-EPA bay, with EPA subslots as shown in Figure 1-1.
• Each EPA provides a certain number of connectors, or ports, that are the interfaces to one or more
networks. These interfaces can be individually configured using the Cisco IOS command-line
interface (CLI).
• Either a blank filler plate or a functional EPA should reside in every subslot of a MIP during normal
operation to maintain cooling integrity.
EPAs support online insertion and removal (OIR). They can be inserted or removed independently from
the MIP. MIPs also support OIR with EPAs inserted in their subslots.

Figure 1-7 1-Port 100 Gigabit QSFP Ethernet EPA (EPA-QSFP-1x100GE)
The QSFP based EPA supports transceiver modules based on a QSFP form factor. Whereas
EPA-1X100G supports CFP-based transceivers.
The 1-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet EPA and the 2-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet EPA are QSFP-based EPAs. Both
these EPAs support Ethernet features, Synchronous Ethernet and MACsec. The 2-port 40 Gigabit EPA
has two 40GE ports without any licenses. The 1-port 40 Gigabit EPA has two 40 GE interfaces but only
the first port is usable without license. Second port is licensed-based and supports Cisco Smart
Licensing.
The 1-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet EPA is a QSFP-based EPA. This EPAs support Ethernet features,
Synchronous Ethernet and MACsec. The port is license-based and supports Cisco Smart
Licensing(FLSA1-MACSEC100G / L-FLA1-MACSEC100G=)
Table 1-1 Minimum Software for MACsec Support
Synchronous Ethernet Support

The following EPAs support Synchronous Ethernet:
• EPA-10X10GE
• EPA-18X1GE
• EPA-1X40GE
• EPA-2X40GE
• EPA-1X100GE
• Built-in EPAs on ASR1001-HX, ASR1002-HX
Modular Optics Compatibilities

The EPA-1X100GE uses a CPAK module to provide network connectivity. The EPA-CPAK-2X40GE
uses a CPAK module and a 2x40 GE breakout cable to provide network connectivity. The EPA-10X10GE
uses small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) optical transceivers to provide network connectivity. The
EPA-18X1GE uses SFP optical transceivers to provide network connectivity.

Safety Guidelines
Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power off switch for the room in which you are working.
• Disconnect power and all the external cables before moving a chassis.
• 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 to people 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.
Telephone Wiring Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or
to other network cabling:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
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. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular
Interface Processors comprise printed circuit boards that are fixed to metal carriers. Electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of these carriers. Although the
metal carriers help to protect the boards from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap when handling the
line cards.
The following are the guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap and ensure that it is touching the skin.
• 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 or midplane. These devices prevent accidental
removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that the bus connectors are
properly seated.
• When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
• Handle the carriers using the available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit
boards or connectors.

2-7
Laser and LED Safety
• Place a removed board component-side-up on an antistatic surface or on a static shielding container.

If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding
container.
• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap protects only
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 (Mohms).

An optical single-mode transmitter uses a small laser to transmit the light signal to the network ring.
Keep the transmit port covered whenever a cable is not connected to it. Although multimode transceivers
typically use LEDs for transmission, it is a good practice to keep open ports covered and avoid staring
into open ports or apertures. The single-mode aperture port contains a laser warning label, as shown in
Figure 2-1. The multimode aperture contains a Class 1 LED warning label, as shown in Figure 2-2.

Installing and Removing a MIP
This chapter describes how to install and remove a MIP on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Handling the MIP, page 3-1
• Online Insertion and Removal, page 3-2
• MIP Installation and Removal, page 3-5
Handling the MIP

Each MIP circuit board is mounted on a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage. Before you begin installation, read Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install a MIP or EPA” for a list of
parts and tools required for installation.
Caution Always handle the MIP by the carrier edges and handles; never touch the line card components or
connector pins.

When a slot is not in use, a blank filler plate must be installed in the empty slot to allow the router or
switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emission requirements and to allow proper
airflow across the installed modules. If you plan to install the MIP in a slot that is not in use, you must
first remove the blank filler plate.

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers support online insertion and removal (OIR)
of the MIP, the EPAs, and the SFP+ and CPAK modules. Therefore, you can remove the MIP with its
SFP+ or CPAK modules still intact, or you can remove SFP+ or CPAK modules independently from the
MIP, leaving the line card installed in the router.
This section includes the following topics on OIR support:
• Preparing for Online Removal of the MIP, page 3-2
• Deactivating a MIP, page 3-3
• Reactivating a MIP, page 3-3
• Verifying the Deactivation and Activation of the MIP, page 3-3
Preparing for Online Removal of the MIP

The Cisco ASR 1000 series router support OIR of the MIP. If you plan to remove a MIP, deactivate the
line card first using the hw-module slot slotnumber shutdown global configuration command.
When you deactivate the MIP using this command, it automatically deactivates each of the SFP+ or
CPAK modules that are installed in the MIP. Therefore, it is not necessary to deactivate each of the SFP+
or CPAK modules prior to deactivating the MIP.
Although graceful deactivation of the MIP is preferred using the hw-module slot slotnumber shutdown
command, the Cisco ASR 1000 series router do support the removal of the MIP without deactivating it
first.

3-2
Deactivating a MIP
To deactivate a MIP and its installed SFP+ or CPAK modules prior to the removal of the MIP, use the
following command in the global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Router(config)# hw-module slot Shuts down the installed interfaces and deactivates the
slotnumber shutdown MIP in the specified slot, where:
slotnumber—Specifies the chassis slot number in which
the MIP is installed.
Reactivating a MIP
After you deactivate the MIP, whether or not you have performed an OIR, you must use the no
hw-module slot slotnumber shutdown global configuration command to reactivate the MIP.
The installed SFP+ or CPAK modules automatically get reactivated upon reactivation of the MIP in the
router. For example, consider a scenario where you remove a MIP from the router to replace it with
another MIP. You reinsert the same EPAs and SFP+ or CPAK modules into the new MIP. When you enter
the no hw-module slot slotnumber shutdown command on the router, the SFP+ or CPAK modules will
automatically get reactivated with the new MIP.
To reactivate a MIP and its installed SFP+ or CPAK modules after the MIP has been deactivated, use the
following command in the global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Router(config)# no hw-module slot Reactivates the line card in the specified slot and its
slotnumber shutdown installed SFP+ or CPAK modules. Here:
slotnumber—Specifies the slot number of the chassis
on which the MIP is installed.
Note This command is used only if this card was
previously shut down using the hw-module slot
slotnumber shutdown global configuration
command. A newly inserted line card does not
require this command to activate the card.
Verifying the Deactivation and Activation of the MIP

To verify the deactivation of the MIP, enter the show platform command in the privileged EXEC
configuration mode. Observe the State field associated with the MIP that you want to verify.

3-3
The following example shows the MIP located in slot 1. In this scenario, slot 1 is powered down. This
is indicated by its disabled status.

MIP Installation and Removal

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing and removing a MIP.
Caution When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the
MIP. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly touch the
midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool.
To install a MIP, refer to Figure 3-2 and do the following:
Step 1 Before inserting a MIP, make sure that the chassis is grounded.
Step 2 To insert the MIP, carefully align the edges of the MIP between the guide rails in the router slot.
Step 3 Carefully slide the MIP into the router slot until the MIP makes contact with the backplane.
Step 4 Tighten the captive installation screws on both sides of the MIP.
To remove a MIP, refer to Figure 3-2 and do the following:
Step 1 To remove the MIP, first disconnect all cables from the SPF+ or CPAK interfaces.
Step 2 Loosen the captive installation screws on both sides of the MIP.
Step 3 Slide the MIP out of the router slot.

When a subslot is not in use, an EPA 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 EPAs. If you plan to install an EPA in a subslot that is not in use, you must first remove the
EPA blank filler plate.

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers support the OIR of an EPA independent of removing the MIP.
This means that a MIP can remain installed in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router with one EPA
remaining active, while you remove another EPA from one of the MIP subslots. If you are not planning
to immediately replace an EPA into the MIP, ensure that you install a blank filler plate in the subslot.
The MIP should always be fully installed with either functional EPAs or blank filler plates.
If you are planning to remove a MIP along with its EPAs, you do not have to follow the instructions
provided in this section. To remove a MIP, see the “Preparing for Online Removal of the MIP” section
on page 3-2.
This section includes the following topics on OIR support:
• Preparing for Online Removal of the EPA, page 4-2
• Deactivating EPA, page 4-3
• Reactivating EPA, page 4-3
• Verifying the Deactivation and Activation of the EPA, page 4-4
Preparing for Online Removal of the EPA

The Cisco ASR 1000 series router support OIR of the EPA. If you plan to remove an EPA, deactivate the
EPA first using the hw-module subslot slotnumber/subslotnumber shutdown global configuration
command.
When you deactivate the EPA using this command, it automatically deactivates each of the SFP+ or
CPAK modules that are installed in the EPA. Therefore, it is not necessary to deactivate each of the SFP+
or CPAK modules prior to deactivating the EPA.

4-2
Although graceful deactivation of the EPA is preferred using the hw-module subslot slotnumber/
subslotnumber shutdown command, the Cisco ASR 1000 series router do support the removal of the
EPA without deactivating it first.
Deactivating EPA
To deactivate an EPA and its installed SFP+, CPAK or QSFP modules prior to the removal of the EPA,
use the following command in the global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Router(config)# hw-module subslot Shuts down the installed interfaces and deactivates the
slotnumber/subslotnumber shutdown EPA in the specified slot and subslot of the MIP, where:
• slotnumber—Specifies the chassis slot number in
which the MIP is installed
• subslotnumber—Specifies the subslot number on a
MIP where an EPA is installed
Reactivating EPA
After you deactivate the EPA, whether or not you have performed an OIR, you must use the no
hw-module slot slotnumber/subslotnumber shutdown global configuration command to reactivate the
EPA. The installed SFP+, CPAK or QSFP modules automatically get reactivated upon reactivation of the
EPA in the router.
To reactivate a EPA and its installed SFP+, CPAK or QSFP modules after the EPA has been deactivated,
use the following command in the global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Router(config)# no hw-module subslot Reactivates the line card in the specified slot and its
slotnumber/subslotnumber shutdown installed SFP+, CPAK or QSFP modules. Here:
• slotnumber—Specifies the chassis slot number in
which the MIP is installed.
• subslotnumber—Specifies the subslot number on a
MIP where an EPA is installed
Note This command is used only if this card was
previously shut down using the hw-module slot
slotnumber/subslotnumber shutdown global
configuration command. A newly inserted line
card does not require this command to activate
the card.

EPA Installation and Removal
Verifying the Deactivation and Activation of the EPA

To verify the deactivation of the EPA, enter the show hw-module subslot all oir command in the
privileged EXEC configuration mode. Observe the State field associated with the EPA that you want to
verify.
The following example shows the EPA located in slot 1, subslot 1 as administratively down.
Router(config)# hw-module subslot 1/1 shutdown
Router# show hw-module subslot all oir

Module Model Operational Status
-------------- ------------------ -------------------------

To verify the activation and proper operation of an EPA, enter the show hw-module subslot all oir and
observe slot 1, subslot 0, in the ok state, as shown in the following example:
Router(config)# no hw-module subslot 1/1 shutdown
Router# show hw-module subslot all oir

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing and removing an EPA in a MIP.
Caution When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the
EPA. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly touch the
midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool.
To install an EPA in a MIP, refer to Figure 4-2 and do the following:
Step 1 To insert the EPA in the MIP, locate the guide rails inside the MIP that hold the EPA in place.
Step 2 Align the EPA with the guide rails and carefully slide the EPA all the way into the MIP slot until the EPA
stops.
Step 3 Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to fully seat the EPA by turning the captive screw clockwise. When
fully seated, the EPA should be flush with the MIP faceplate.
Note Avoid over torquing the EPA captive screw when installing the EPA. Tighten the captive screw
on the EPA to a torque of 11 +/-1 inch-pounds.

4-4
To remove the EPA from the MIP, refer to Figure 4-2 and do the following:
Step 1 Disconnect all cables from the SPF+, CPAK or QSFP interfaces
Step 2 Loosen the captive screw in the center of the EPA by turning it counterclockwise.
Step 3 Slide the EPA out of the MIP.

Checking the Installation

This section describes the procedures you can use to verify the MIP and EPA installation, and includes
information on the following topics:
• Verifying the Installation, page 4-6
• Using show Commands to Verify the MIP and EPA Status, page 4-7
• Using show Commands to Display EPA Information, page 4-8
Verifying the Installation

This section describes how to verify the MIP and EPA installation by observing the MIP LED states,
EPA LED states, and the information displayed on the console terminal.
When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the MIP STATUS LED should be green (on) and the
EPA STATUS LEDs should be green (on). The port LEDs may be green (on), depending on your
connections and configuration. The console screen also displays a message as the system discovers each
interface during reinitialization.
Use the following procedure to verify that a MIP and EPA are installed correctly:
Step 1 Observe the console display messages and verify that the system discovers the MIP, while the system
reinitializes each interface, as follows:
• When a new EPA is inserted into the system, the default configuration will be used for the associated
interfaces.
• As a MIP is initialized, the STATUS LED will first be amber, indicating that power is on, but the
MIP is being configured. When the MIP is active, the STATUS LED will illuminate green.
• EPAs will follow the same sequence once the MIP has completed its initialization. The EPA
STATUS LEDs will illuminate amber, turning to green when the EPAs become active.
• When the MIP and EPA STATUS LEDs are green, all associated interfaces are configurable.
Note Refer to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card Software Configuration Guide
for configuration instructions.
• If a MIP or EPA is replaced with a module of the same type (as in an OIR or hardware swap), the
previous configuration will be reinstated when the MIP or EPA becomes active.
• If a MIP or EPA has not been previously installed in the same slot or subslot, then the configuration
for all associated interfaces will be empty.
Note New interfaces are not available until you configure them.

4-6
Step 2 If the MIPs and EPAs have not become active within three minutes, refer to the system console messages
as follows:
• If a MIP or EPA is undergoing a field-programmable device (FPD) upgrade, then console messages
will indicate that the FPD process has been initiated. The upgrade process might take several
minutes. Use the show upgrade fpd progress command to obtain information about the FPD
process. MIPs or EPAs that undergo an FPD upgrade will automatically be rebooted. Return to
Step 1.
• If there is no indication that an FPD upgrade is under way, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.”
Using show Commands to Verify the MIP and EPA Status

The following procedure uses show commands to verify that the new EPAs are configured and operating
correctly.
Step 1 Use the show running-config command to display the system configuration. Verify that the
configuration includes the new EPA interfaces.
Step 2 Display all of the current EPAs and a summary of their status using the show hw-module subslot all oir
command.
Step 3 Display information about the installed MIPs using the show diag command.
Step 4 Use the show hw-module subslot all fpd command to verify the FPD version information of the EPAs
installed in the system.
Note If an EPA does not meet the minimum FPD version required, it will be updated automatically. If
the update fails, the failing EPA will be powered down and an error message will be reported on
the system console.
For more information about FPD upgrades, refer to the “Upgrading Field-Programmable
Devices” chapter of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card Software Configuration
Guide.
Step 5 Use the show version command to obtain a few details on the installed MIPs and interfaces.

4-7

EPA blank filler plates (EPA-BLANK=) are available to fill an unused EPA subslot.
When an EPA subslot is not in use, an EPA blank filler plate must be installed in the empty subslot to
allow the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and
to allow proper airflow across the EPAs. If you plan to install a new EPA in a subslot that is not in use,
you must first remove the EPA blank filler plate.

CHAPTER 5
Installing and Removing the SFP+, CPAK, and
QSFP Modules
This chapter describes how to install and remove small form-factor pluggable (SFP+), CPAK, and QSFP
modules in the EPAs. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Preparing for Online Removal of SFP+, CPAK, and QSFP Modules, page 5-1
• Installing and Removing SFP+ Modules, page 5-1
• Installing and Removing CPAK Modules, page 5-11
• Installing and Removing QSFP Modules, page 5-15
• Optical Device Maintenance, page 5-17
Preparing for Online Removal of SFP+, CPAK, and QSFP Modules

The Cisco ASR 1000 series router support OIR of an SFP+, CPAK, or a QSFP module without removing
the EPA or MIP.
The interface configuration is retained or recalled if an EPA, MIP, SFP+, or CPAK is removed and then
replaced with one of the same type.
However, if the line card is already installed in the router and the system is operational, we recommend
that you shut down the port using the interface config command before removing the SFP+, or CPAK,
or QSFP modules.
Installing and Removing SFP+ Modules

Note The EPA supports only the SFP+ modules listed in the “Modular Optics Compatibilities” section on
page 1-4. An SFP+ check is run every time an SFP+ module is inserted into an EPA, and only those SFP+
modules that pass this check are usable.
Before you remove or install an SFP+ module, read the installation information provided in this section
and the “Laser and LED Safety” section on page 2-8.

5-1
Chapter 5 Installing and Removing the SFP+, CPAK, and QSFP Modules
Caution Protect the SFP+ modules by inserting clean dust covers on them after the cables are removed. Ensure
that you clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports of
another SFP+ module. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical ports of your SFP+
modules because the optics will not work correctly when obstructed with dust.
Caution We recommend that you do not install or remove the SFP+ module with fiber-optic cables attached to it
because of potential damage to the cable, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP+
module. Disconnect all the cables before removing or installing an SFP+ module.
Removing and inserting an SFP+ module can shorten its useful life. Therefore, you should not remove
and insert SFP+ modules unless it is absolutely necessary.
SFP+ modules use one of four different latching devices to install and remove the module from a port.
The four types of SFP+ module-latching devices are described in the following sections:
• Bale Clasp SFP+ Module, page 5-2
• Mylar Tab SFP+ Module, page 5-4
• Actuator Button SFP+ Module, page 5-6
• Slide Tab SFP+ Module, page 5-8
Bale Clasp SFP+ Module

The bale clasp SFP+ module has a clasp that you should use to remove or install the SFP+ module.

Optical Device Maintenance

Any contamination of the fiber connection can cause failure of the component or failure of the whole
system. A particle that partially or completely blocks the core generates strong back reflections, which
can cause instability in the laser system. Inspection, cleaning, and reinspection are critical steps to take
before making fiber-optic connections.
Cleaning Optical Devices

See the Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections and the Compressed Air
Cleaning Issues for Fiber-Optic Connections documents for information on cleaning optical devices.

Using debug Commands
Using debug Commands

The debug hw-module subslot command is intended for use by Cisco Systems technical support
personnel.
Caution Because debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process, it can render the system
unusable. For this reason, use debug commands only to troubleshoot specific problems or during
troubleshooting sessions with Cisco technical support staff. Moreover, it is best to use debug commands
during periods of lower network traffic and fewer users. Debugging during these periods decreases the
likelihood that increased debug command processing overhead will affect system use.
For information about the other debug commands supported on the Cisco ASR 1000 series router error
messages, including messages related to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Interface Processor, refer
to the following documents:
• Cisco IOS Release 12.2 SR Command References
• Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card Software Configuration Guide
Packing a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Interface Processor

for Shipment
This section provides step-by-step instructions for packing a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Interface
Processor for shipment. Before beginning this procedure, you should have the following original Cisco
Systems packaging materials:
• Static shielding bag
• Smaller inner carton
• Larger exterior carton
• Two-foam packing cushions
Caution The Cisco Systems original packaging is to be used for the shipment of all Cisco ASR 1000 native line
cards. Failure to use Cisco Systems packaging properly may result in damage or loss of product.
Caution 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 electrocute yourself.
Note The following instructions assume that the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Interface Processor has been
removed from the router according to the procedures specified in this guide.
