Replacing the Chassis

Tools and Parts Required

This section lists the tools and parts you will need to complete these replacement procedures. Have the necessary tools on hand so that you can complete the replacement without interruption:

•To replace the chassis cover, you need a 3/16-inch, ﬂat-blade screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the chassis cover panel

•To install a replacement chassis, you need a number 1 Phillips and a 3/16-inch, ﬂat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on the processor modules (most of the carriers use slotted screws, but some use Phillips screws)

•To install new cable management brackets or to move brackets from the existing chassis, you need the following tools and parts (panhead screws are included with the brackets):

—Number 1 Phillips screwdriver

—Two cable management brackets

—Six M3 x 8-mm, Phillips panhead screws

•If you will mount or replace the chassis in an equipment rack, you also need the following tools:

—Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

—1/4-inch and 3/16-inch, ﬂat-blade screwdrivers

—Two chassis ears

—Four M4 x 10-mm, Phillips ﬂathead screws to secure the ears to the chassis

—Eight 10-32 x 3/8-inch, slotted binderhead screws to secure the chassis ears to the rack

•Whenever you remove or install processor modules, have the following equipment on hand to help prevent ESD damage:

—Antistatic mat or antistatic foam pad in case you need to put one of the processor modules down

—Your own ESD-preventive strap or the disposable ESD strap that is included with all spares

The RP, SP (or SSP), and RSP1 are required system components in their respective chassis; you must shut down the system power before removing or installing any one of these three processor modules. All interface processors support online insertion and removal (OIR); however, after installing an interface processor on line, you must wait at least 15 seconds for the system to reinitialize the interfaces before installing the next interface processor. Therefore, it is more efﬁcient to leave the power off until all components are moved into the new chassis, then start up the system and check the entire installation.

If you are installing the new chassis in an equipment rack, proceed to the next section. Otherwise, proceed to the section “Installing the Cable Management Brackets” on page 12.
