For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected. |
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
![]() | Caution To avoid damaging ESD-sensitive components, ensure that you have discharged all static electricity from your body before opening the chassis. |
![]() | Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm). |
You need the following tools and equipment to install an HSSI network processor module in a Cisco 4000 series chassis slot:
To install a network processor module, you must first remove the component tray from the chassis.

Step 4 If you have a DC-powered router, follow these steps to remove the power cables:
Step 5 Using a Number 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the nonremovable chassis release screw on the rear panel of the chassis.
![]() | Caution When you remove the component tray from the chassis, support it from underneath, either on your work surface or with your hands. |
Step 6 To remove the component tray, pull on the handle at the upper right corner of the rear panel.
If your chassis has a safety latch (see Figure 1), slide the component tray out of the chassis shell just until the safety latch catches. Support the component tray with one hand, push down on the safety latch tab, and pull the component tray out the rest of the way.
If your chassis does not have a safety latch (see Figure 2), support the component tray with one hand while you slide it out of the chassis shell.
Step 7 Set the tray on your work surface.
Figure 3 shows the component tray for the Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers and older versions of the Cisco 4500-M router. Figure 4 shows the component tray for the Cisco 4700-M router and newer versions of the Cisco 4500-M router.


If you need to remove any network processor modules, follow the procedure in this section.
![]() | Caution Some network processor modules are fastened to the rear of the chassis with two external screws. You must remove these screws before you can lift the module out of the chassis. |
Step 1 Using a Number 1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the internal module mounting screw from the end of the module card. Remove the two external rear mounting screws, if present, from the rear panel and set them aside.
Step 2 Hold the module handle and pull it straight up to lift the module out of its connector. (See Figure 5.)
Step 3 Place the removed module on an ESD mat.
![]() | Caution Do not wiggle the module's handle or exert any side-to-side pressure. The handle can work loose and damage the module. |

![]() | Caution If any of the modules have daughter cards projecting at right angles to the module (see Figure 6), do not bend the module during installation, because the daughter cards could become disconnected. Carefully reseat any loosened cards, handling them by the edges without touching any components. |

Follow these steps to insert a new or replacement network processor module:
Step 1 Pick up the module by its handle, align it with the grooves on the component tray rear panel, and hold it gently against the chassis wall. (See Figure 5.)
Step 2 Push the module carefully into place, inserting its male connector into the female connector on the system board. Be careful not to bend any pins.
Step 3 Using a Number 1 Phillips screwdriver, replace the internal module mounting screw on the end of the module card. (See Figure 5.)
Step 4 Replace the external rear mounting screws, if any, in the rear panel.
![]() | Caution Do not overtorque the screws, because this can damage the module or the underlying system board. The maximum torque is 7 inch-lb. |
Follow these steps to replace the component tray in the chassis shell:
Step 1 Insert the component tray into the shell, pushing on the back of the tray while pressing on the chassis release screw (shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2) with your thumb.
Step 2 Using a Number 2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the chassis release screw.
Follow these steps to make final connections to the router:

If you have a DC-powered router, rewire the DC-input power supply (40 to 72 VDC) to the terminal block. The proper wiring sequence is ground to ground, positive to positive, and negative to negative. (See Figure 7.) After connecting the DC power cables, use a screwdriver to reinstall the terminal block cover.

![]() | Warning The illustration shows the DC power supply terminal block. Wire the DC power supply using the appropriate lugs at the wiring end, as illustrated. The proper wiring sequence is ground to ground, positive to positive (line to L), and negative to negative (neutral to N). Note that the ground wire should always be connected first and disconnected last. |
![]() | Warning After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position. |
Step 3 Turn ON the power switch. The power LED on the front should go ON.
Step 4 Check the OK LED on the right side of the front panel to verify that it goes ON after a few seconds delay when booting.
![]() | Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use. |
If you have questions or need help, refer to the section "Cisco Connection Online" later in this document.

Figure 10 shows HSSI network processor module LEDs, and Table 4 describes their function.

| LED | Meaning |
|---|---|
| LOOP (Loopback) | The module is in loopback mode. |
| CONN (Connect) | Normal operation. The module is connected to the external DSU, and the signals TA (DTE available) and CA (DCE available) are active. Off when the module is in loopback mode or not connected to the DSU. |
| TXD (Send Data) | The module is sending packets to the external DSU. |
| TXC (Send Timing) | The module is transmitting a transmit clock signal to the external DSU. During normal operation, this signal is derived from the RT signal from the external DSU. During loopback, this signal is generated internally. |
| RXD (Receive Data) | The module has detected the external DSU and is receiving packets from it. |
| RXC (Receive Timing) | The module has detected a receive clock signal. During normal operation, this signal is received from the external DSU. During loopback, this signal is generated internally. |
Whenever you install a new interface, or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must configure it. If you replace a module that was already configured, the router recognizes it and brings up the interface using the existing configuration.
Before you configure an interface, have the following information available:
![]() | Time Saver Obtain this information from your system administrator or network plan before you begin to configure the router. |
To configure an HSSI interface, you must use configuration mode (manual configuration). In this mode, you can enter Cisco IOS commands at the router prompt.
Before you begin to configure an interface, disconnect all WAN cables from the router to keep it from trying to run the AutoInstall process. The router tries to run AutoInstall whenever you power it ON if there is a WAN connection on both ends and the router does not have a valid configuration file stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) (for instance, when you add a new interface). It can take several minutes for the router to determine that AutoInstall is not connected to a remote Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) host.
If you have questions or need help, refer to the section "Cisco Connection Online" later in this document for more information.
This section describes basic configuration, including enabling the interface and specifying IP routing. Depending on your own requirements and the protocols you plan to route, you might also need to enter other configuration commands.
To configure the HSSI interface for connection to a DSU using an HSSI DTE cable, follow this procedure:
Step 1 Connect a console to the router. If you need instructions for connecting a console, refer to the Cisco 4000 Series Installation Guide or the Cisco 4000 Hardware Installation and Maintenance publication. Power up the router.
Step 2 If the current configuration is no longer valid, after about a minute you see the following prompt:
Answer no. You now enter the normal operating mode of the router.
Step 3 After a few seconds you see the user EXEC prompt (Router>). Type enable and the password to enter enable mode:
enable
Configuration changes can be made only in enable mode. The prompt changes to the privileged EXEC (enable) prompt (Router#):
Step 4 Enter the config terminal command to enter configuration mode:
config terminal
The router enters global configuration mode, indicated by the Router(config)# prompt.
Step 5 If you have not configured the router before, or want to change the configuration, configure global parameters, passwords, network management, and routing protocols. In the following example, IP routing is enabled:
ip routing
For complete information about global configuration commands, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guides and command references.
Step 6 Select the HSSI interface to configure by entering the interface command, followed by the interface type and unit number:
interface hssi 0
The prompt changes again to show that you are in interface configuration mode.
Step 7 Configure routing protocols on the interface. (You must have previously enabled these protocols as part of global configuration.) In this example, IP is configured on the HSSI interface:
ip address 145.22.4.67 255.255.255.0
Step 8 Enable the HSSI interface by changing the shutdown state to up:
no shutdown
Step 9 Enter any further configuration commands needed to enable routing protocols or modify the interface characteristics.
Step 10 To configure another interface, repeat Step 6 through Step 9 of this procedure.
Step 11 When you finish configuring interfaces, exit configuration mode and return to the enable prompt by pressing Ctrl-Z. To see the current operating configuration, including any changes you just made, enter the show running-config command:
show running-config
To see the configuration currently stored in NVRAM, enter the show startup-config command at the enable prompt.
show startup-config
Step 12 The results of the show running-config and show startup-config commands differ from each other if you have made changes to the configuration, but have not yet written them to NVRAM. To write your changes to NVRAM, making them permanent, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the enable prompt:
copy running-config startup-config
Continue with the section "Checking the Configuration" later in this document to check the interface configuration using show commands.
This section describes how to configure the HSSI interface for back-to-back operation. Back-to-back operation allows you to verify operation of the HSSI port or link routers directly to build a larger node.
To configure the HSSI interface for back-to-back operation using an HSSI null modem cable, follow this procedure:
Step 1 Connect a console to the router. If you need instructions for connecting a console, refer to the Cisco 4000 Series Installation Guide or the Cisco 4000 Hardware Installation and Maintenance publication. Power up the router.
Step 2 If the current configuration is no longer valid, after about a minute you see the following prompt:
Answer no. You now enter the normal operating mode of the router.
Step 3 After a few seconds you see the user EXEC prompt (Router>). Type enable and the password to enter enable mode:
enable
Configuration changes can be made only in enable mode. The prompt changes to the privileged EXEC (enable) prompt (Router#):
Step 4 Enter the config terminal command to enter configuration mode:
config terminal
The router enters global configuration mode, indicated by the Router(config)# prompt.
Step 5 If you have not configured the router before, or want to change the configuration, configure global parameters, passwords, network management, and routing protocols. In the following example, IP routing is enabled:
ip routing
For complete information about global configuration commands, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guides and command references.
Step 6 Select the HSSI interface to configure by entering the interface command, followed by the interface type and unit number:
interface hssi 0
The prompt changes again to show that you are in interface configuration mode.
Step 7 Select the internal 51.84-MHz master clock by entering the hssi internal-clock command:
hssi internal-clock
Step 8 When you finish configuring interfaces, exit configuration mode and return to the enable prompt by pressing Ctrl-Z. To see the current operating configuration, including any changes you just made, enter the show running-config command:
show running-config
To see the configuration currently stored in NVRAM, enter the show startup-config command at the enable prompt.
show startup-config
Step 9 The results of the show running-config and show startup-config commands differ from each other if you have made changes to the configuration, but have not yet written them to NVRAM. To write your changes to NVRAM, making them permanent, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the enable prompt:
copy running-config startup-config
Step 10 Repeat this procedure on the other router. Both routers must be configured for back-to-back operation.
Continue with the next section to check the interface configuration using show commands.
After configuring the new interface, use the following show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces.
If an interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, make sure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still have problems, refer to the section "Cisco Connection Online" later in this document.
If you are removing a network processor module permanently, or to replace it with a different or reconfigured module, shut down (disable) the interface first to prevent anomalies. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in show command displays.
Follow this procedure to shut down an interface:
Step 1 Connect a console to the router. If you need instructions for connecting a console, refer to the Cisco 4000 Series Installation Guide or the Cisco 4000 Hardware Installation and Maintenance publication. Power up the router.
Step 2 After a few seconds you see the user EXEC prompt (Router>). Type enable and the password to enter enable mode:
enable
Configuration changes can be made only in enable mode. The prompt changes to the privileged EXEC (enable) prompt (Router#):
Step 3 Enter the config terminal command to enter configuration mode:
config terminal
The router enters global configuration mode, indicated by the Router(config)# prompt.
Step 4 Select the interface that you want to shut down by entering the interface command, followed by the interface type and unit number:
interface hssi 0
The prompt changes again to show that you are in interface configuration mode.
Step 5 Enter the shutdown command:
shutdown
Step 6 When you finish shutting down interfaces, exit configuration mode and return to the enable prompt by pressing Ctrl-Z. To write your changes to NVRAM, making them permanent, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the enable prompt:
copy running-config startup-config
Step 7 To verify that an interface is in the correct state (shut down), use the show interface hssi unit command to display an individual interface, or the show interfaces command, without variables, to display the status of all interfaces in the router:
show interface hssi 0
Step 8 To reenable an interface, repeat this procedure using the no shutdown command in Step 5. Then write the new configuration to NVRAM:
interface hssi 0
no shutdown
^z
copy running-config startup-config
show interface hssi 0
