Removing a Chassis from the Equipment Rack
Use this procedure 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 24.69pounds (11.2 kg).
Step1 Power off the router (see Powering Off the Router, page5-2).
Step2 Power off the circuit breakers to the power supplies.
Step3 Disconnect the power from the power modules on the front of the chassis:
Step4 Disconnect RP cables connected to the console port, auxiliary port, or either of the management Ethernet
ports.
Be sure to label each of the RP cables before you disconnect the cables.
Step5 Disconnect the line card interface cables.
Step6 Disconnect the supplemental bonding and grounding connection from the chassis (see Supplemental
Bonding and Grounding Connections, page2-9).
Step7 Remove the chassis from the rack.
a. 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.
Installing a Replacement Chassis in the Equipment Rack
Use this procedure to install the replacement chassis and components in the equipment rack:
Step1 Install the new chassis in the rack (see Rack-Mounting the Chassis, page2-4).
Step2 Connect the supplemental bonding and grounding connection (if there is one) to the chassis (see
Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connections, page2-9).
Step3 Connect all line card and interface cables (see Connecting Route Processor Cables, page 3-18).
Step4 Connect power to the power modules on the front of the chassis.
