Removing and Replacing the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1
Note If you have two Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1s in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router and you want to
remove one, do not power down the router. Remove the route processor and insert a new one, because
high availability provides for the other Route Processor to take on the processing tasks for the router.
Removing the Cisco ASR1000-RP1
To remove the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1 from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router, follow this
procedure:
Step 1 Slip on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and attach it to a chassis surface.
Step 2 If connected, remove any I/O cables from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1.
Step 3 Using a number 2 Phillips or a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws on the
faceplate of the Cisco ASR1000-RP1.
Step 4 Using the handles on both sides of the module, with two hands gently slide the module out of the chassis
slot.
Caution Handle the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1 by the carrier edges only; never touch the printed circuit board
components or connector pins.
Step 5 Place the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1 module on an antistatic surface with its printed circuit board
components facing upward or in a static shielding bag.
Note If you are returning the Cisco ASR1000 RP1 to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
This completes the procedure for removing an installed Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1 module from the
Cisco ASR 1006 Router and Cisco ASR 1004 Router.
Replacing the Cisco ASR1000-RP1
To replace the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1 in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router, follow this procedure:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 2 Remove the new Cisco ASR1000-RP1 from its static shielding bag.
Step 3 Using both hands, grasp the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 by its metal carrier edges and orient the it so that its
printed circuit board components are upward.
Caution Handle the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 by the carrier edges and handle only; never touch the printed circuit
board components or connector pins.
