Repackaging the Routers

REVIEW DRAFT — CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

Removing the Blower Modules

The blower module weighs 20.5 lb (9.3 kg). By removing the upper blower module from the chassis, you reduce the top-end weight of the chassis by the weight of the blower module. Unless you plan to strip all components to reduce the overall weight of the chassis so you can shift the chassis by lifting it manually, there is no advantage in removing the lower blower module. Remove the blower modules as described in the “Removing the Blower Modules” section on

page 3-14.

Removing the Cards from the Chassis Card Cages

Unless you plan to strip all components to reduce the overall weight of the chassis so you can shift the chassis by lifting it manually, there is no advantage in removing the cards from the card cages. Reducing the overall weight of the chassis is offset by the requirement to store the cards in an ESD-preventive and dust proof (for fiber-optic cards) environment.

If you elect to remove the cards from the chassis card cages, remove the cards as described in Chapter 3, “Installing the Router.”

Detaching the Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connection

If your router has one or more bonding and grounding cables attached to any of the bonding and grounding receptacles on the chassis, you must detach these cable lugs from the chassis before you remove the chassis from the equipment rack.

Detach the bonding and grounding cable lugs from the chassis as instructed in the “Detaching the Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connection” section on page 5-104.
