Removing a Chassis from the Equipment Rack
Use this procedure to remove the chassis and its components from the equipment rack:
Caution You must use two people to remove the chassis from the equipment rack safely. An empty chassis can
weigh up to approximately 24.69 pounds (11.2 kg).
Step 1 Power off the router (see Powering Off the Router, page 5-2).
Step 2 Power off the circuit breakers to the power supplies.
Step 3 Disconnect the power from the power modules on the front of the chassis:
Step 4 Disconnect RP cables connected to the console port, auxiliary port, or either of the management Ethernet
ports.
Be sure to label each of the RP cables before you disconnect the cables.
Step 5 Disconnect the line card interface cables.
Step 6 Disconnect the supplemental bonding and grounding connection from the chassis (see Supplemental
Bonding and Grounding Connections, page 2-9).
Step 7 Remove the chassis from the rack.
a. Remove the screws that attach the chassis rack mount flanges and the side rack mount brackets to
the rack posts.
b. Carefully lift the chassis out of the rack and set it aside.

Step 1 Install the new chassis in the rack (see Rack-Mounting the Chassis, page 2-4).
Step 2 Connect the supplemental bonding and grounding connection (if there is one) to the chassis (see
Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connections, page 2-9).
Step 3 Connect all line card and interface cables (see Connecting Route Processor Cables, page 3-18).
