810, Canada:Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 1052

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It can occur if electronic
printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures. Always follow
ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:
• Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to 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 channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To guard
against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.

Caution For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the anti-static strap. It should be
between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

 Prepare for Router Installation
Safety Recommendations

The following information can help you plan your equipment rack configuration:
• Allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.
• Allow at least one rack unit of vertical space between routers; more clearance is required when stacking
multiple Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers. Provide adequate heat removal mechanism to
keep the surrounding air temperature well within the specified operating temperature condition.

Note More spacing may be required depending on the installation environment.

• Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested because each router
generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. The heat
generated by the equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the
equipment above it.
• When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intake or exhaust
ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated in the rack.

Install a Pluggable Interface Module on a C1101-4P

Note Ensure to use the correct tool for removing the Micro-SIM door.

1. Place the pluggable module on its bottom side, remove the SIM door screw, use a #1 Philips screw driver
for removing the screws, and then carefully remove the Micro-SIM cover from the pluggable module.

Caution Do not touch any part of the exposed PCB circuit area when the Micro-SIM cover is removed.

2. Slot 1 and slot 0 are the Micro-SIM slots. (see figure 5, step 2).
3. Install SIM 0 and SIM 1 in their respective slots. SIM 0 or SIM 1 is marked on the pluggable interface
module above the Micro-SIM cover. The SIM icons show the correct orientation required to install the
SIM into each respective connector (SIM connectors are a push-push type).
To install, insert the SIM card in the connector until you feel it click, then let go and the SIM is locked
to the connector. To remove the SIM card, depress the SIM in the connector slot again until you feel the
same click and let it go, the SIM connector should eject part way out of the connector. The SIM card can
then be grabbed and removed).
Secure the Micro-SIM cover with a screw, use a number 1 Philips screw driver to secure the screw on the
Micro-SIM cover. The recommended torque is 2.8 - 3.8 inch LBF.

Note We recommend using industrial-grade SIM cards.

4. You have now successfully inserted the Micro-SIM cards into the LTE pluggable module. The marking
on the Mirco-SIM door should align with Micro-SIM 0 on the pluggable module with the arrow pointing
upward.

Figure 76: Attaching the Antennas

Step 1 Use your thumb and index finger to insert and tighten antenna 1 and antenna 3 in the middle antenna attachment slots,
as indicated in the figure.
Note While installing the antennas, first install antenna 1 and antenna 3 (this instruction is for the two antenna
attachments present in the middle) and secure it completely. If you install antenna 2 and antenna 0 first (this
refers to the first and the last antenna attachments), there will be less space to insert your thumb and index
finger and therefore, you may not be able to secure antenna 1 and 3.

Step 2 Insert antenna 2 and antenna 0 in the first and last antenna attachment slots.
Step 3 After installing the antennas, adjust the antenna orientation by spacing out each of them equally until they are spread out.
This is important because it helps in getting higher RF performance.

 CHAPTER 5
ROM Monitor Overview
The ROMMON is the bootloader that initializes the hardware when the platform is powered on or reset. From
the ROMMON prompt, a Cisco IOS XE image can be manually booted. There is also an autoboot option to
boot a specified IOS XE image for every power-on or reset. When new features or significant defects are
resolved, a newer ROMMON release is available on CCO. To determine the current ROMMON version and
the location of the latest ROMMON release, these details are available in the following sections:
.
• ROM Monitor Overview, on page 99

ROM Monitor Overview

The ROM Monitor software is also known as ROMMON, boot software, boot image, or boot helper. Although
it is distributed with routers that use the Cisco IOS XE software, the ROMMON is a separate program from
the Cisco IOS XE software. During normal startup, ROMMON initializes the router, and then, the control
passes to the Cisco IOS XE software.
When you connect a terminal to the router that is in ROMMON mode, the ROMMON command-line interface
(CLI) prompt is displayed.
Access the ROMMON mode to perform these tasks:
• Specify config-register value to use for the next boot up
• Boot a valid IOS XE image
• Bypass NVRAM settings and config-register value for password recovery

Note After the Cisco IOS XE software boots up, ROMMON is no longer in use.

Environmental Variables and the Configuration Register

Two primary connections exist between ROMMON and the Cisco IOS XE software: the ROMMON
environment variables and the configuration register.

Hardware Installation Guide for the Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Router
99
 ROM Monitor Overview
ROM Monitor Overview

The ROMMON environment variables define the location of the Cisco IOS XE software and describe how
to load it. After ROMMON has initialized the router, it uses the environment variables to locate and load the
Cisco IOS XE software.
The configuration register is a software setting that controls how a router starts up. One of the primary uses
of the configuration register setting is to control whether the router starts in ROMMON mode or Administration
EXEC mode. The configuration register is set in either ROMMON mode or Administration EXEC mode as
needed. You can set the configuration register using the Cisco IOS XE software prompt when you need to
use ROMMON mode. When maintenance in ROMMODE mode is complete, change the configuration register
back so that the router reboots with the Cisco IOS XE software.

Access ROMMON Mode with a Terminal Connection

When the router is in ROMMODE mode, you can access the ROMMODE software only from a terminal
connected directly to the console port of the card. Because the Cisco IOS XE software (EXEC mode) is in
operatiion, the nonmanagement interfaces are not accessible. Therefore, all Cisco IOS XE software resources
are unavailable.

Network Management Access and ROMMON Mode

ROMMON mode is a router mode, not a mode within the Cisco IOS XE software. The ROMMON software
and the Cisco IOS XE software are two separate programs that run on the same router. At any given time, the
router is running one of these programs, but it never runs both at the same time.
One area that can be confusing when using ROMMON and the Cisco IOS XE software is the area that defines
the IP configuration for the Management Ethernet interface. Most users are comfortable with configuring the
Management Ethernet interface in the Cisco IOS XE software. When the router is in ROMMON mode,
however, the router is not running the Cisco IOS XE software, therefore, Management Ethernet interface
configuration is not available.
When you want to access other devices, such as a TFTP server, while in ROMMON mode on the router, you
must configure the ROMMON variables with IP access information.
For more information on ROMMON and Basic Procedures, refer to the Upgrading Field-Programmable
Hardware Devices for Cisco 1000 Series ISRs
