Cisco Systems OL-11497-03 manual Preparing the Defective Chassis, Disconnecting RP Cables

Chapter 6 Maintaining the Router

Removing and Installing the Chassis

Preparing the Defective Chassis

To prepare the defective chassis for component removal you must disconnect the power from the PDU and disconnect the RP cables, line card network interface cables, and alarm card cables. These procedures are described in the following sections:

•Disconnecting Power from the Power Distribution Unit, page 6-70

•Disconnecting RP Cables, page 6-70

•Disconnecting Line Card Interface Cables, page 6-71

•Disconnecting Alarm Card Cables, page 6-71

Disconnecting Power from the Power Distribution Unit

Before moving the components from the defective chassis to the replacement chassis, you must first power down the router. Although many of the components in this procedure support OIR, that is, they are hot-swappable, the router must be powered down and completely disconnected from the power sources before you remove the PDU.

Warning Power down your router.

To power down the router, see the “Powering Down the Router” section on page 6-2.

Disconnecting RP Cables

Identify and write down each of the RP cable connections on a piece of paper before you disconnect the cables. You must disconnect any cables that are connected to the RP console port, auxiliary port, or to either of the Ethernet ports, RJ-45 or MII (GRP only). After disconnecting the cables, either leave them in the cable management bracket for reuse with the new RP, or move them away from the chassis and place them safely aside.
