Chapter 5 Maintaining the Router

Removing and Replacing an AC Power Entry Module

Installation Guidelines

The Cisco XR 12406 router support online insertion and removal (OIR). If you are replacing a redundant power supply, you can remove and install the power supply while the system remains powered on without causing an electrical hazard or damage to the system. This feature enables you replace a power supply while the system maintains all routing information and ensures session preservation.

However, to maintain operational redundancy, proper cooling, and meet EMI compliance standards, you must have both working power supplies installed. When you remove a failed power supply with the router in operation, perform the replacement as quickly as possible. Make sure you have the tools and the replacement power supply ready before beginning the removal and installation procedure.

When you remove a failed power supply with the router in operation, perform the replacement as quickly as possible. Make sure you have the tools and the replacement power supply ready before beginning the removal and installation procedure.

Use the following procedure to remove and replace an AC PEM.
