Installing the Supervisor in the Cisco cBR
Chassis
This section provides information on installing the Supervisor.
Check if your hardware might have a supervisor card. For supervisor cards that are shipped as a spare module,
the supervisor card bootflash would be empty. Ensure that you manually copy the image on the bootflash to
avoid issues while booting.

•Blank PIC for the Supervisor
Do not support mix use of 250G and 160G SUP and SUP-PIC.Note
Before You Begin
If you are adding a new Supervisor PIC or upgrading the existing Supervisor PICs, ensure that the power
modules installed in the chassis are adequate to support the Supervisor PICs.
Warning
•Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the other end to the grounding lug
connected to the chassis.

•Be aware of the weight and size of the equipment. Handle it with care.
Restrictions
•If you are using a single Supervisor, you must install the Supervisor PIC in the slot corresponding to
the Supervisor Card.
In the Cisco cBR-8 router,Note
•Slot 4/1 for the Supervisor PIC corresponds to slot SUP0 for the Supervisor Card.
•Slot 5/1 for the Supervisor PIC corresponds to slot SUP1 for the Supervisor Card.
Required Tools and Equipment
•ESD-preventive wrist strap
•Supervisor PIC or blank PIC for the Supervisor
•3/16" flat-blade torque screwdriver
Step 1 Grasp the faceplate of the PIC with one hand and place your other hand under the PIC to support its weight.
Step 2 Carefully align the PIC with the plastic guides in the slot.
Step 3 Slide the PIC into the slot applying even pressure using both your hands until it is within an inch of full insertion.

Installing the QSFP+ or QSFP28 Transceiver Modules in the Supervisor PIC
The 40-Gigabit (GE) QSFP+ and 100 Gigabit (QSFP28) transceiver module is a hot-swappable, parallel
fiber-optical module with four independent optical transmit and receive channels. These channels can terminate
in another 40-Gigabit QSFP+ transceiver, or the channels can be broken out to four separate 10-Gigabit SFP+
transceivers. The QSFP+ transceiver module connects the electrical circuitry of the system with an optical
external network.
The following figure shows the 40-Gigabit optical QSFP+ transceiver. The transceiver is used primarily in
short reach applications in switches, routers, and data center equipment where it provides higher density than
SFP+ modules. The 100-Gigabit optical QSFP28 transceiver is similar to the 40-Gigabit optical QSFP
transceiver.
Figure 4: 40-Gigabit QSFP+ Transceiver Module (Optical)
Electrical connection to the module circuitry340GBASE QSFP+ transceiver body1
Bail-clasp latch2
The QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module can have either a bail-clasp latch or a pull-tab latch. Installation
procedures for both types of latches are provided.
Before You Begin
Do not install or remove the QSFP28 module with fiber-optic cables still attached to it. Doing so may
damage cables, cable connectors, or the optical interfaces and may interfere with the QSFP28 module
latching properly into its socket connector. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an QSFP28
module.
Caution
The QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or
similar individual grounding device when handling QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules or coming
into contact with system modules.
Caution
•Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the other end to the grounding lug
connected to the chassis.

•Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment.
Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap to yourself and a properly grounded point on the chassis or the rack.
Step 2 Remove the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module from its protective packaging.
Step 3 Check the label on the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module body to verify that you have the correct model for your
network.
Step 4 For optical QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules, remove the optical bore dust plug and set it aside.
Step 5 For QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules equipped with a pull-tab, hold the transceiver so that the identifier label is
on the top.
Step 6 For QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules equipped with a bail-clasp latch, keep the bail-clasp aligned in a vertical
position.
Step 7 Align the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module in front of the module’s transceiver socket opening and carefully slide
the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver into the socket until the transceiver makes contact with the socket electrical connector
(see the figure below).
Figure 5: Installing the 40-Gigabit QSFP+ or 100-Gigabit QSFP28 Transceiver Module (Optical Transceiver Equipped with a Bail-Clasp
Latch Shown)

Step 9 For optical QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules, reinstall the dust plug into the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceivers optical
bore until you are ready to attach the network interface cable. Do not remove the dust plug until you are ready to attach
the network interface cable.
What to Do Next
•Verify if the QSFP+ or QSFP28 module is seated and latched properly. Grasp the QSFP+ or QSFP28
module and try to remove it without releasing the latch. If the QSFP+ or QSFP28 module cannot be
removed, it is installed and seated properly. If the QSFP+ or QSFP28 module can be removed, reinstall
it.
•Connect fiber-optic cable to the QSFP+ or QSFP28 port.

What to Do Next
Route the cable through the Supervisor PIC cable management bracket and chassis-mounted fiber/cable routing
guide.
Cable Management for the Supervisor PIC in the Cisco cBR Chassis
The following accessories are used for routing the cables connected to the Supervisor PIC:
•Supervisor PIC cable management bracket
•Chassis-mounted cable strap-down clips
•Chassis-mounted snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guides
Use the upper cable management bracket and fiber/cable routing guides for routing the cables connected to
the upper Supervisor PIC and the lower cable management bracket and fiber/cable routing guide for routing
the cables connected to the lower Supervisor PIC.
The strap-down clips have multiple uses. They can be used:
•to strap down cable bundles or conduit (there are multiple tie down points on each strap-down clip)
•as a base for two snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guides
Before You Begin
•Install the Supervisor PIC.
•Install the Supervisor PIC cable management bracket.
•Install the chassis-mounted cable strap-down clips and attach the snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing
guides, as necessary based on the cable routing preference.
•Connect the cables to the appropriate ports on the Supervisor PIC.
Required Tools and Equipment
•Cable ties
Step 1 Perform the following for the fiber-optic cables connected to the Supervisor PIC:
•If you are using a chassis-mounted snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guide, route the fiber-optic cables through
the upper slot of the snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guide and then through the upper slot of the Supervisor PIC
cable management bracket. Secure the cable bundle using cable ties.
•If you are using a chassis-mounted cable strap-down clip without the snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guide,
route the fiber-optic cables through the upper slot of the Supervisor PIC cable management bracket. Secure the
cable bundle to the upper tie down point on the strap-down clip using a cable tie.
