Safety with Electricity

When working on equipment that is powered by electricity, follow these guidelines:

Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut off the power.

Before working on the router, turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

Disconnect all power before doing the following:

Installing or removing a router chassis

Working near power supplies

Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:

Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

Turn off power to the router.

If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the victim and then call for help.

Determine if the victim needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur when printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must be used properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.


Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive wrist strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

Required Tools and Equipment

To install an AIM in a chassis, you need the following tools and equipment:

Cisco AIM, supplied with standoffs, two screws, and adhesive label

Number 2 Phillips screwdriver or flat-blade screwdriver

1/4-inch nut driver

Torx-15 screwdriver (for installation in Cisco 3660 only)

3/16-inch open-end wrench (optional)

ESD-preventive wrist strap

The sections that follow describe these procedures.

Removing the System Board Tray

This section describes the procedure for removing the Cisco 3660 system board tray. You must remove the system board tray to access the internal components.


Warning Before opening the unit, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages. Statement 1041



Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected. Statement 4


To remove the system board tray, follow these steps:


Step 1 Power off the router and disconnect the power cable.

Step 2 Disconnect all cables from the system board panel.

Step 3 Loosen the two captive mounting screws on the front of the system board tray. (See part 1 of Figure 22.)

Step 4 Rotate the tray levers to their open position. (See part 2 of Figure 22.)

Step 5 Pull the tray levers to slide the system board tray out of the chassis. (See part 3 of Figure 22.)

Installing AIMs in a Cisco 3660 Router

Perform the following procedure for each AIM to be installed. You need a Torx-15 screwdriver, a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, and a 1/4-inch nut driver to complete this procedure.


Note Some AIMs are provided with two mounting kits that contain different standoffs. For a Cisco 3660 router, use the mounting kit that contains a plastic standoff with a threaded end.



Note Cisco 3660 routers have two AIM connectors—AIM slot 0 and AIM slot 1. You can install a VPN encryption AIM in either slot, but not in both slots. You can install voice and data compression AIMs and ATM AIMs in both slots. Voice-mail AIMs are not supported in Cisco 3660 routers.



Step 1 Remove the three screws labeled A and B in Figure 23 from the system board, near the AIM connector that you are going to use. Use a Torx screwdriver for these screws.

Figure 23 Removing the Three Screws from the System Board—AIM Slot 1 Installation Shown

Step 2 Install the two metal standoffs (provided in the mounting kit) in place of the two screws labeled A in Figure 23. Hand-tighten with a 1/4-inch nut driver. (See Figure 24.)


Caution Make sure that the standoffs are straight when installed. Tighten them gently but firmly. The shoulder must be seated tight against the system board.

Step 3 Install the threaded plastic standoff (provided in the mounting kit) in place of the screw labeled B in Figure 23. Tighten it firmly with your fingers, or very carefully using a 3/16-inch open-end wrench. (See Figure 24.) The shoulder must be seated tight against the system board.

Step 4 Plug the AIM into the AIM connector on the system board. (See Figure 24.) Make sure that the plastic standoff fits into the hole in the AIM board and that the connector is fully seated.

Step 5 Insert the screws (provided with the AIM) through the AIM into the metal standoffs. (See Figure 24.) Tighten the screws carefully with a Phillips screwdriver.

Figure 24 Connecting the AIM to the System Board

Step 6 Check that the AIM is installed correctly on the system board. (See Figure 25.)

Figure 25 Installed AIM


Applying the AIM Label on a Cisco 3660 Router

The AIM label for the chassis might be in the AIM mounting kit, or it might be attached to the label on the AIM card. Apply the chassis label as follows:


Step 1 If the chassis label is attached to the label on the AIM card, carefully tear off the chassis label at the perforation. If the chassis label is in the AIM mounting kit, remove the label from the kit bag.

Step 2 Peel the chassis label from its backing.

Step 3 Apply the chassis label to the faceplate of the system board tray. (See Figure 26.)

Figure 26 AIM Label Location


Reinstalling the System Board Tray

To reinstall the system board tray in the chassis, do the following:


Step 1 Align the tray with the guides in the chassis and slide it into the slot. (See part 1 of Figure 27.)

Step 2 Push the system board tray into place until you feel its edge connector mate securely with the connector on the backplane. (See part 2 of Figure 27.)

Step 3 Rotate the tray levers into their closed position. (See part 3 of Figure 27.)

Step 4 Fasten the system board tray captive mounting screw into the hole on the chassis using a Phillips screwdriver. (See part 4 of Figure 27.)

Step 5 Reinstall the chassis on the rack, desktop, or table.
