Removing the Network Processing Engine
Copying the Configuration File Using a PC
Complete the following steps to copy the router’s configuration file to a text file on a PC connected to
the router’s console port.
Step 1 Connect a serial port on the PC to the router’s console port. Start a terminal program on the PC and
configure it for the same baud rate, parity, and stop-bits that the console port is using.
Step 2 Turn on the terminal program’s capture buffer so that it will save all output to a text file.
Step 3 Enter the show startup-config command in privileged EXEC mode to display the router’s startup
configuration.
Note Refer to the appropriate software documentation listed in the “Related Documentation” section
on page iii for descriptions of the configuration options available for the system and individual
interfaces, and for specific configuration instructions.
Step 4 When the router has completed displaying the configuration, turn off the terminal program’s capture
buffer and save the configuration file to the disk on the PC.
Step 5 (Optional) Use a text editor on the PC to modify the configuration, as needed.
This completes the procedure for copying the configuration file to a PC. Proceed to “Removing the
Network Processing Engine” section on page 7-7.

Note If you are removing the I/O controller, and do not plan to replace it, you must install an I/O controller
blank panel (Cisco Product Number IO-CONTROLR-BLANK=) in the I/O controller slot. See the
