Maintaining Your Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 Router
Your Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, or Cisco 7576 router is configured to your order and is ready for installation and startup when it leaves the factory. After you install and configure your router, you might have to perform specific maintenance procedures and operations to ensure that the router is operating properly, to upgrade specific system components, or to replace components with spare parts or field-replaceable units (FRUs). This chapter describes procedures and maintenance operations required to maintain your Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, or Cisco 7576 router.
Note Detailed, up-to-date instructions (called configuration notes) are available on Cisco.com.
The Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 allow you to remove and replace interface processors and RSPs while the system is powered on; however, you must shut down the system power before accessing the chassis interior for any other reason.
Note If you intend to remove and replace an interface processor or RSP while the system is powered on, do so only when no operations are taking place that involve the RSP NVRAM or Flash memory. This includes operations involving system configuration changes and downloading microcode images.
This chapter provides specific component replacement instructions for upgrading, removing, or replacing the following components:
•Chassis cover panels
•Blower module assembly
•Card cage assembly
•Chassis interface (CI) board
•Power supply removal (power supply installation is discussed in the “Installing Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 Power Supplies” section on page 3-27).
Caution To help prevent problems, before performing any procedures in this chapter, review the “Safety Recommendations” section on page 2-2.
