Replacement procedures

WARNING! To avoid device damage and bodily injury, strictly follow the replacement procedures to replace the removable components on the router. ·     Do not hot swap hard disks. ·     Be aware of electrical safety hazards when hot swapping a component on the router. The following components are hot swappable: ¡     Power supplies ¡     Cards ¡     Subcards ¡     Fan trays ¡     Air filters ¡     Transceiver modules

 

CAUTION: As a best practice to avoid data theft, remove all data from an FRU that has a storage medium, for example, a CF card, hard disk, or flash before disposal of that FRU. To remove data, format or destroy the storage medium on the FRU.

 

The router uses a modular architecture. You can replace the removable components on the router.

Replacing a power supply

This section describes the precautions and procedures for replacing a power supply.

Replacement precautions

Before you replace a power supply, read the following precautions carefully:

·     Strictly follow the procedures shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 to replace a power supply to avoid device damage or bodily injury.

·     Power supplies on a router must be the same model. The model of the replacement power supply must be the same as the model of the power supplies that are operating correctly. If not, disconnect the power supply and remove all power supplies before replacement.

·     Add a circuit breaker to the power line for each power supply. Before replacing a power supply, turn off its circuit breaker.

·     The power supply might be of high temperature. Remove it with caution.

·     To install the removed power supply to the chassis again, install it after the status LED on the power supply is off.

·     After removing the power supply, if you do not install a new power supply, install a filler panel.
