Removing the Cisco 12012 from a Rack
This section contains the procedures for removing the Cisco 12012 from a rack.
Powering Down the Cisco 12012
Perform the following steps to power down the Cisco 12012:
Step 1
Turn the power supply power switch counterclockwise to OFF (STANDBY on an AC-input power supply) on all power supplies installed in the Cisco 12012.
Step 2
Verify that the system has powered down by checking that the input OK (or AC OK) LEDs on the power supplies are off and the green OK LEDs on both blower modules are off.
Step 3
Turn off any circuit breakers to which the power supplies are connected, and disconnect all power cords or cables from the Cisco 12012 power supplies.
Removing the Blower Modules
The Cisco 12012 has two blower modules that provide cooling air to the card cage assembly. The blower modules slide on rails into and out of the top and bottom of the frame and attach to the frame with two captive screws each.
Remove the blower modules according to the procedures in the section "Removing the Blower Modules" in the chapter "."
Removing the Card Cage Assembly
The card cage assembly comprises one assembly that includes the upper card cage, the lower card cage, and the power supply bays. The assembly slides into and out of the front of the frame and attaches to the frame with six captive screws.
Note
A fully populated card cage assembly weighs approximately 230 lb (104.3 kg). To make the card cage assembly easier to remove, first remove all components from the card cage assembly (see the appropriate sections in the chapter "").
Caution 
An empty card cage assembly weighs 65 lb (29.5 kg). You need two people to safely lift the assembly. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
Remove the card cage assembly according to the procedures in the section "Removing the Card Cage Assembly," in the chapter "."
Removing the Frame from the Rack
This section provides the procedures for removing the Cisco 12012 frame from the rack and for placing it on the shipping pallet. You need a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver and a 9/16-inch wrench to perform this procedure.
Perform the following steps to remove the frame from the rack:
Step 1
Position the shipping pallet as close as possible to the rack where the Cisco 12012 is installed.
Caution 
An empty frame weighs 75 lb (34 kg). You need two people to safely lift the frame. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
Step 2
With one person positioned on each side of the frame, grasp the front and side of the frame. (See .)
Step 3
Have a third person remove the eight screws that secure the frame to the rack. Place the eight screws in the accessories box.
Step 4
Slide the frame out the front of the rack and place it on the shipping pallet. Orient the frame so that the front of the frame points toward the front of the pallet.
Step 5
Install the four frame anchors through the slots in the bottom of the frame to secure the frame to the pallet. Tighten the four lag screws to prevent frame movement.
Step 6
If a brace bar is installed in the rack, remove the two screws that secure it, then remove the brace bar from the rack. Place the brace bar and two screws in the accessories box.

Replacing Components in the Cisco 12012
This section contains the procedures to replace the components in the Cisco 12012 once it is on the shipping pallet.
Replacing the Blower Modules

Replace the blower modules according to the procedures in the section "Reinstalling the Blower Modules," in the chapter "."
Replacing the Card Cage Assembly
This section contains the procedures to replace the card cage assembly in the frame, the cards in the upper card cage, the cards in the lower card cage, and the DC-input power supplies in the power supply bay.
If your system is configured with three or four AC-input power supplies, two AC-input power supplies are shipped installed in the power supply bay and the third and fourth AC-input power supplies are shipped removed from the system and packaged separately on the pallet.
Replace the card cage assembly according to the procedures in the section "Reinstalling the Card Cage Assembly," in the chapter "."
Note
Do not connect any power cords or cables to the power supplies or connect any interface cables to the line cards, RP, or alarm card.
Caution 
An empty card cage assembly weighs 65 lb (29.5 kg). You need two people to safely lift the assembly. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
Completing the Repackaging
This section provides procedures for completing the Cisco 12012 repackaging. Included are procedures for positioning the large cardboard box on the pallet, repackaging the third and fourth AC-input power supplies in the large cardboard box, and repackaging the accessories box in the large cardboard box.
If your system is configured with AC-input power supplies, proceed to the section "Repackaging the Redundant AC-Input Power Supplies," for the procedure on repackaging the power supplies for shipment.
If your system is configured with DC-input power supplies, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Position the empty large cardboard box on the front of the pallet so that the two foam brackets mounted to the outside of the box are positioned under the system air filter tray. These foam brackets prevent the cardboard box from coming loose during transit.
Step 2

Step 3
Proceed to the section "Repackaging the Accessories Box," in this appendix, to complete the repackaging procedure.
Repackaging the Redundant AC-Input Power Supplies
Two AC-input power supplies are shipped installed in the Cisco 12012 power supply bay. If your system is configured with three or four AC-input power supplies, the third and fourth power supplies are shipped packaged in foam inserts inside a large cardboard box mounted to the front of the pallet.
Perform the following steps to repackage the third and fourth AC-input power supplies in their shipping container:
Step 1
Position the empty large cardboard box on the front of the pallet so that the two foam brackets mounted to the outside of the box are positioned under the system air filter tray. These foam brackets prevent the cardboard box from coming loose during transit.
Step 2
Place the bottom half of the power supply foam insert in the bottom of the large cardboard box.
Step 3
Wrap the AC-input power supply in a plastic bag and place the packaged power supply faceplate-up in one of the cutouts in the bottom foam insert. Repeat this step for the fourth power supply.
Step 4
Place the top half of the foam insert over the top of the power supplies.
Repackaging the Accessories Box

Step 1
Install the two wooden side panels on the pallet by performing the following steps:
(a)
Position one of the shipping packaging wooden side panels on the pallet so that the four tabs on the bottom of the side panel are facing out and fit into the four slots on the edge of the pallet.
(b)
While holding the side panel, bend the four tabs outward 180 degrees with pliers or a flat-blade screwdriver.
(c)
Repeat steps (a) and (b) for the second side panel.
