Removing the Router Cover

To access the Cisco 3825 fan unit, you must first remove the router cover. To remove the router cover, complete the steps that follow. You will need a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

If your router uses AC or DC power, observe the following warning:

Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected. Statement 4

If your router uses DC power, observe the following warning:

Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Statement 1003

Caution Before removing the cover, make sure that the flash memory card ejector button is flush with the front panel. If the button projects from the panel, removing the cover can damage it.

Step 1 Power down the router and disconnect the power cord from the front of the router.

Warning Before opening the unit, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages. Statement 1041

Step 2 Disconnect all network interface cables from the back panel of the router.

Step 3 Remove the router from the rack. Remove the rack-mounting brackets from the router, using the number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

Step 4 Place the router on a flat surface. Remove the two screws from the top of the router and set them aside in a safe place.
