Note Each ATM LANE Dual PHY module contains a STATUS LED. When on, this LED indicates that the module is powered up and operational. It does not necessarily mean that the interface ports are functional or enabled.


Table 3: ATM LANE and Module LEDs
LED Description
STATUS The switch performs a series of self-tests and diagnostic tests.
If all the tests pass, the LED is green.
If a test other than an individual port test fails, the LED is red.
During system boot or if the module is disabled, the LED is orange.
During self-test diagnostics, the LED is orange.
If the module is disabled, the LED is orange.
TX (Transmit) When a port is transmitting a packet, the LED is green for approximately 50 ms1; otherwise, it is off.
RX (Receive) When a port is receiving a packet, the LED is green for approximately 50 ms; otherwise, it is off.
ACTIVE2 When green, the port is active. If the LED is off, the port is the standby port.
LINK Displays the link integrity status of an ATM port. If the integrity is good, the LED is green.

1 ms = milliseconds

Ensuring Safety

Use the following guidelines to ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list does not include all potentially hazardous situations during installation, so be alert.


Note Power supplies in the Catalyst 5002 switch do not have on/off switches.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace this equipment.

Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Following Basic Electrical Safety Guidelines

When working with electrical equipment, exercise these basic safety guidelines:


Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Following Telephone Wiring and Network Cabling Safety Rules

Use the following safety rules when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source but still connected to telephone wiring or other network cabling:

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic boards or components are improperly handled. ESD can result in complete or intermittent failures of electronic components. Guidelines for preventing ESD damage are as follows:


Figure 1: Placement of ESD Wrist Strap on the Catalyst 5002 Switch




Figure 2: Types and Placement of ESD Wrist Straps on the Catalyst 5000 Switch




Figure 3: Placement of ESD Wrist Strap on the Catalyst 5500 Switch




Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

Switching Modules Installation and Configuration

All Catalyst 5000 series switches support hot swapping, which lets you install, remove, replace, and rearrange switching modules without turning off the system power. When the system detects that a switching module has been installed or removed, it automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines, acknowledges the presence or absence of the module, and resumes system operation with no operator intervention.

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace this equipment.

Warning Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture ports of the single-mode ATM products when no fiber-optic cable is connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare into open apertures. This product meets the Class 1 Laser Emission Requirement.

Tools Required

You need a flat-blade screwdriver to remove any filler (blank) switching modules and to tighten the captive installation screws that secure the modules in their slots. Whenever you handle switching modules, you should use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent ESD damage. See the section "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage."

Removing Switching Modules

To remove a switching module from a Catalyst 5000 series switch, perform the following steps:

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle switching modules by the carrier edges only.

Step 1 If you do not plan to reinstall the switching module immediately after removing it, disconnect any network interface cables attached to the switching module ports.

Step 2 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws, shown in Figure 4.


Figure 4: Ejector Levers and Captive Installation Screws



Step 3 Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously push the levers outward to release the module from the backplane connector. Figure 4 shows a close-up of the right ejector lever.

Step 4 Grasp the switching-module handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it out of the slot. Avoid touching the module.

Step 5 Carefully pull the switching module straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it. Keep the switching module oriented horizontally.

Step 6 Place the switching module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam or immediately install it in another slot.

If the slot is to remain empty, install a switching-module filler plate (part number 800-00292-01) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the switching-module compartment.

Caution Always install the switching-module filler plate in empty switching module slots to maintain the proper flow of cooling air across the modules.

Installing Switching Modules

All Catalyst 5000 series switching modules are installed in horizontal slots that are numbered from top to bottom. Figure 5 shows an example of how slots are numbered on the chassis; in this case using the Catalyst 5000 switch. The slot numbering for the Catalyst 5002 switch and the Catalyst 5500 switch is similar to that shown in Figure 5.


Figure 5: Module Slot Numbers



To install a switching module in a Catalyst 5000 series switch, perform the following steps:

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle switching modules by the carrier edges only.

Step 1 Make sure you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage, as described in the section "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage."

Step 2 Choose a slot for the new switching module. Ensure that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the switching module ports. If possible, place switching modules between empty slots that contain only switching module filler plates.

Step 3 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws securing the switching-module filler plate (or the existing switching module) from the desired slot.

Step 4 Remove the switching-module filler plate (or the existing switching module).

Step 5 Hold the switching-module handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support the switching module and guide it into the slot. Avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connector pins.

Step 6 Place the switching module in the slot. Align the notch on the sides of the switching-module carrier with the groove in the slot, as shown in Figure 6 for the Catalyst 5000 switch. Use the same procedure for the Catalyst 5002 and Catalyst 5500 switches.


Figure 6: Module Installation



Step 7 Maintain the switching module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane and carefully slide the switching module into the slot until the switching-module faceplate contacts the ejector levers.

Use the thumb and forefinger of each hand and simultaneously push in the left and the right levers to seat the switching module in the backplane connector.

Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing switching modules. A module that is partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to halt and subsequently crash.

Step 9 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the left and right ends of the switching module.

Step 10 Attach network interface cables or other devices to the interface ports.

Step 11 Check the status of the interfaces as follows:

The following example shows the output of the show module command, with the ATM LANE Single PHY Module (MMF) (WS-X5155) in slot 4:
