Cisco Systems Cisco 12008 manual Reinstalling the Power Supplies in the Router

Reinstalling Components in the Router

Step 4 Grasp the front edge of the metal card carrier with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support the card’s weight and guide it into the card cage slot.

Note Alignment grooves at the top and bottom of each slot in the upper card cage help you to align the cards properly for insertion. Make sure you properly align the card carrier with these alignment grooves to facilitate card insertion.

Step 5 Carefully slide the card carrier into the slot until the ejector levers make contact with the top and bottom edges of the card cage.

Step 6 Grasp the line card ejector levers and pivot them toward the card faceplate until they are perpendicular to the faceplate. This action completely seats the card in the backplane.

Step 7 Tighten the two captive installation screws at the top and bottom of the card faceplate.

Go back to Step 3 and repeat the procedure until you have fully repopulated the upper card cage with the previously removed cards.

Note Card blanks must be installed in the upper card cage to cover any unoccupied slots. The card blanks help to maintain proper air flow through the router and ensure EMI compliance.

Reinstalling the Power Supplies in the Router

In this section, it is assumed that you will be reinstalling a power supply that you removed from the power supply bay in preparation for rack mounting the router (see the section entitled “Removing a Power Supply from the Router”). It is also assumed that the router has been mounted in the rack and that you are reinstalling the previously removed components.

The process of reinstalling a power supply is the reverse of the removal procedure depicted in Figure 3-3.
