The VIP6-80 ROM monitor functions similarly to the boot loader image on the RSP, which runs a copy of the Cisco IOS image. The boot loader image allows the router to access the Cisco IOS image when powering up or initializing the system. Port Adapter Slots The VIP6-80 supports up to two single-width port adapters, or one dual-width port adapter. Figure 1 shows a VIP6-80 with two single-width port adapter slots. A dual-width port adapter occupies both port adapter slots (not shown). To ensu

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 inst

Removing a VIP6-80 This section describes the procedure for removing a VIP6-80. Caution If your router has an RSP2 as the standby with the high system availability (HSA) feature or high availability (HA) features enabled, online insertion and removal of any interface processor in either CyBus might cause the standby RSP2 to reboot with a bus error or a processor memory parity error. The active RSP recovers from this event and issues a “cBus Complex Restart” message. Systems that are configu

Step 5 Place the removed board on an antistatic mat or foam pad, or place it in an antistatic container if you plan to return it to the factory. This completes the procedure for removing a VIP6-80. Proceed to the“Installing a VIP6-80” section on page 24. Note If you have an RSP2 configured as the standby with HSA or HA enabled, continue with the following steps to finish the removal of the VIP6-80 from the router. Step 1 Wait 20 to 30 seconds. This time will vary depending on the number of

When a single-width port adapter slot is not in use, use a blank port adapter to fill the empty slot to allow the router to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow through the router. If you plan to install a new single-width port adapter in a port adapter slot that is not in use, first remove
