Chapter5 Replacing Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Components
Removing a Chassis from the Equipment Rack
b. Carefully reroute the cables through the horizontal cable management tray at the top of the chassis
(the Cisco ASR 9922 Router has an additional tray at the bottom of the chassis) or side cable
management brackets (CiscoASR 9006 Router and Cisco ASR 9904 Router).
c. Carefully reroute cables through the card cable-management bracket.
d. Starting with the port of the card closest to the cable management bracket, reconnect the interface
cable connectors to each of the card ports using the cable and port connection information you
recorded when removing the cables.
Step3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each card.
Removing a Chassis from the Equipment Rack
Follow these steps to remove the chassis and its components from the equipment rack:
Caution You must use two people to remove the chassis from the equipment rack safely. An empty chassis can
weigh up to approximately 300pounds (136 kg).
Step1 Power off the router (see Powering Off the Router, page5-4).
Step2 Power off the circuit breakers to the power supplies.
Step3 Disconnect the power from the power modules on the rear of the chassis:
•For AC power modules, see Disconnecting AC Power, page5-17.
•For DC power modules, see Disconnecting DC Power, page5-19.
Step4 Disconnect the supplemental bonding and grounding connection from the chassis (see Supplemental
Bonding and Grounding Connections, page2-56).
Step5 Remove the fan tray (see Removing and Replacing the Fan Trays, page5-11).
Step6 Disconnect RSP/RP cables connected to the console port, auxiliary port, or either of the management
Ethernet ports. Be sure to label each of the RSP/RP cables before you disconnect the cables.
Step7 Disconnect any cables connected to the external alarm port on the alarm display.
Label each of the alarm display cables before you disconnect the cables.
Step8 Disconnect the line card interface cables.
Step9 Remove the RSP cards, RP cards, FCs, and LCs from the chassis (see Removing and Replacing Cards
from the Chassis, page 5-25).
Step10 Remove the chassis air filter (see Replacing the Chassis Air Filter, page5-4).
Step11 Remove the chassis from the rack.
a. Using the side handles to support the weight of the chassis, remove the screws that attach the chassis
rack mount flanges and the side rack mount brackets to the rack posts.
b. Carefully lift the chassis out of the rack and set it aside.
c. Use the rear handle on the CiscoASR 9922 Router to push the chassis out of the rack and onto an
adjacent pallet jack for transport.
