Installing the SP Bootflash Memory Upgrade Kit
Installing the SP Bootflash Memory Upgrade Kit
The SP memory upgrade procedure is divided into the following tasks:
•Verifying the SP ROMMON Version, page 8
•Upgrading and Verifying the SP ROMMON Image, page 8
•Removing the Supervisor Engine 720, page 10
•Installing the CompactFlash Adapter, page 13
•Reinstalling the Supervisor Engine 720, page 16
If your system has redundant supervisor engines, you need to install the SP memory upgrade on both
supervisor engines. To install the SP memory upgrade on both supervisor engines:
•Perform the SP Bootflash memory upgrade procedure on the current standby supervisor engine.
•Perform a manual supervisor engine switchover, switching the upgraded standby supervisor engine
to active and the active supervisor engine to standby.
•Perform the SP Bootflash memory upgrade procedure on the current standby supervisor engine.
•If necessary, perform a manual supervisor engine switchover to restore the original redundant
supervisor engine configuration.
Verifying the SP ROMMON Version
An SP ROMMON upgrade may be required to support the CompactFlash adapter; you must determine
what SP ROMMON release is installed on the Supervisor Engine 720 prior to performing an SP
ROMMON upgrade. The minimum SP ROMMON release required is 8.4(2). To determine the currently
running SP ROMMON release, enter the remote command switch show version | include ROM
command
If your system is running SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2) or a later release, you can continue on to
“Removing the Supervisor Engine 720” section on page 10. If your SP ROMMON release is earlier than
8.4(2), you must upgrade the SP ROMMON image. Go to the “Upgrading and Verifying the SP
ROMMON Image” section on page 8.
Upgrading and Verifying the SP ROMMON Image
In order to utilize the SP CompactFlash adapter, your Supervisor Engine 720 must have SP ROMMON
Release 8.4(2) or a later release installed on it.
Note The upgrade task description is based on the Supervisor Engine 720 installed in a 9-slot chassis currently
running ROMMON from its S (Gold) region; the ROMMON upgrade to support the CompactFlash
adapter will be done in the F1 region.

Removing the Supervisor Engine 720
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030
The following tools are required to perform the bootflash upgrade kit installation:
•3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on the supervisor engine
•Antistatic mat or foam pad to support and protect the removed supervisor engine
•Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all
upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement
1029
Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing. Statement 1034
Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling the Supervisor Engine 720 or coming in contact with
internal components.
To remove the supervisor engine, follow these steps:
Step 1 Power down your system.
Step 2 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the supervisor engine.
Step 3 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to
attach an ESD grounding strap, see the “Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap” section on page 24 for
instructions.)
Step 4 Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures
that the space created by the removed module is maintained.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push
the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to reinstall
the module.
Step 5 Loosen the two captive screws on the supervisor engine that is to be removed.

following two sets of steps:
Horizontal slots
a. Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward
to unseat the supervisor engine from the backplane connector. (See Figure 2.)
b. Grasp the front edge of the supervisor engine, and slide the supervisor engine partially out of the
slot. Place your other hand under the supervisor engine to support the weight of the module. Do not
touch the module circuitry. (See Figure 3.)
Vertical slots
a. Place your thumbs on the ejector levers located at the top and bottom of the supervisor engine, and
simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the supervisor engine from the backplane
connector.
b. Grasp the edges of the supervisor engine, and slide the supervisor engine straight out of the slot. Do
not touch the module circuitry.
Step 7 Immediately place the supervisor engine on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

Reinstalling the Supervisor Engine 720
Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps and handle modules by the carrier edges only to
avoid ESD damage to the card.
To reinstall the Supervisor Engine 720 in the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to
attach an ESD grounding strap, see the “Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap” section on page 24 for
instructions.)
Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis. This
action assures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the
opening space for the removed module.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push
adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to
install the removed module.
Step 3 Fully open both ejector levers on the supervisor engine that is being installed. (See Figure 7.)

Step 4 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the
following two sets of steps:
Horizontal slots
a. Position the supervisor engine in the slot. (See Figure 7.) Make sure that you align the sides of the
module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot.
b. Carefully slide the supervisor engine into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the
module makes contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have closed to
approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 8.)
c. Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and press down to create
a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the supervisor engine’s EMI gasket and the module above
it. (See Figure 8.)
Note Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and be damaged.
d. While pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the
supervisor engine in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush
with the module faceplate. (See Figure 8.)
Note Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.
e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine.
Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation
screws.
f. Power up your system.
Note Depending on how your system bootstring is configured, your system might stay in
ROMMON. To boot the system from the CF adapter, enter the boot bootdisk: command.
Once you install the CF adapter, you must define the Cisco IOS bootstring as
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:[image name]
With SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2), the bootstring has to be defined as sup-bootdisk:. SP
ROMMON releases later than 8.4(2) only accept the bootstring defined as sup-bootflash:.
g. Verify that the Supervisor Engine 720 STATUS LED is lit.
Periodically check the STATUS LED. If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the
module has successfully completed the boot process and is now online.
If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the supervisor engine has not successfully
completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.
