Note If modules, interface cards, or power supplies need to be removed or installed, Cisco suggests that you perform the installation or removal before you install the chassis. If a chassis cover needs to be removed, the chassis may have to be removed from the rack to permit cover removal.

Note The Cisco 3745 accommodates two AC or two DC hot-swappable power supplies in bays at the rear of the unit. Each unit provides up to 230 W of power, and a single installed power supply meets the router’s requirements. The second installed power supply provides redundancy, load sharing, and increased system availability. Either power supply can be removed without affecting system operation.

If the required network modules, interface cards, and power supplies are already installed, proceed to the “Setting Up the Chassis” section on page 3-2.
