Maintaining the Cisco 12404 Internet Router
Overview
This chapter contains safety at the field replaceable unit (FRU) level, removal and replacement instructions for FRUs and procedures to troubleshoot the FRUs.
Your Cisco 12404 Internet Router is equipped as ordered and is ready for installation and startup when it leaves the factory. After you install and configure your router, you will need maintenance. These procedures are designed to help you replace a FRU and to ensure that your Cisco 12404 Internet router continues to operate properly.
Most Cisco 12404 router FRUs can be removed and replaced with the power on and the system operating, the online insertion and removal of components with the power on, is known as hot swappable.
The FRU parts in Table 5-1 are described in this chapter. Table 5-1 shows the FRUs that are hot swappable and those that are not.
As your networking requirements change, you will want to upgrade your system by adding or changing components. The following sections describe tools and instructions to assist you in performing upgrades and periodic maintenance on your Cisco 12404 router.

Removing and Replacing an AC Power Entry Module
The AC PEM supports online insertion and removal (OIR), so you can remove and install the PEM while the system remains powered on without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system. This feature lets you replace the AC PEM while the system maintains all routing information and ensures session preservation.
Although an AC PEM supports OIR and can be replaced without interruption to system operation, do not operate the system without the PEM for more than a few minutes.
Note The power supplies PWR-GSR4-AC, PWR-GSR4-AC= do not electrically store unit detials like serial number, firmware version, and part number. Hence, the software is unable to display serial number, firmware version, and part number details for the power supplies PWR-GSR4-AC, PWR-GSR4-AC=. While the enhanced power supply 12000/4-AC can read and display serial number, firmware version, and part number details of the units as they can electronically store this information.
Refer to Figure 5-6 and use the following procedure to remove and replace an AC PEM.
Step 1 Power off the faulty PEM.
Step 2 Unplug the power supply cord from its AC outlet.
Step 3 Power off the circuit breaker assigned to that AC outlet.

Step 3 Loosen the terminal block screws to disconnect the positive, negative, and ground wires from the DC PDU terminal block of the faulty PEM.
Before removing wires, be sure to note the color for each type of wire (positive, negative, and ground). Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, you must be sure which power wires are connected to the proper positive (+) and negative (-) terminal ports. Typically, green (or green and yellow) indicate a ground wire, while power wire leads may be labeled positive (+) or negative (-). Because this is not always the case, the safest way to indicate the polarity of a wire is to note its color and identify it as described in this procedure.
Warning When disconnecting source DC power wires, always disconnect the ground wire last.
Step 4 Loosen the captive screws securing the PDU and the PEM to the chassis.
Step 5 Remove the PDU/PEM from the chassis using the finger grips to pull it out.

Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
The Cisco 12404 Internet router has a serviceable air filter. Facing the rear of the chassis, the air filter is housed on the left side of the chassis. The air filter location is shown in Figure 5-14. Air flow through the air filter is shown in Figure 5-15.
The air filter removes dust from the room air drawn into the router by the cooling fans. One time per month (or more often in dusty environments), you should examine the air filter. If the filter appears dirty, you can either vacuum or replace it. If the filter appears worn or torn, dispose of it in a responsible manner and install a replacement air filter.
Cleaning and replacing the air filter is presented in the following sections:
Note You can perform these procedures with the router power on.
Removing the Air Filter
To remove and clean an air filter (Figure 5-14):
Note Do not damage the air filter. Damage to the air filter can restrict the airflow and cause an overtemperature condition in the router.
Figure 5-14 Cisco 12404 Internet Router Air Filter Location
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist or ankle; and attach the ESD clip to the chassis or to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Grasp the small tab on the edge of the air filter and pull the tab to remove the air filter from the housing.
Tip If you are unable to lift the tab on the edge of the air filter, use a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to lift the tab, then grasp it.
Step 3 Move the air filter away from the chassis (Figure 5-15).
Figure 5-15 Cisco 12404 Internet Router Air Filter Direction of Air Flow
Step 4 Visually check the condition of the air filter.
When cleaning or replacing the air filter keep it away from the RP and line card cage so that any dislodged dust will not be drawn into the cage. Do not vacuum the air filter while it is installed in the housing.
•If the filter appears dirty, you can either vacuum or replace it.
•If the filter appears worn or torn, dispose of it in a responsible manner and install a replacement air filter.
Never wash an air filter and immediately reinstall it in the chassis, because moisture drawn inside the chassis can damage the components. Allow the air filter to become completely dry.
Installing the Air Filter
Instructions for installing the air filter in the air filter housing, at the left rear side of the chassis, are presented in the following steps. Use Figure 5-15 as a reference for installing the air filter.
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist or ankle; and attach the ESD clip to the chassis or to a bare metal surface.
Timesaver The arrows on the top edge of the air filter note the direction of air flow. Insert the air filter into its housing with the arrows pointing toward the card cage.
Step 2 Slide the air filter completely into the air filter housing.
Do not damage the air filter. Damage to the air filter can restrict the airflow, cause an overtemperature condition in the router and degrade EMI performance.
Removing and Replacing the Fan Tray Assembly
The fan tray assembly supports online insertion and removal (OIR), so you can remove and install the fan tray assembly while the system remains powered on without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system. This feature lets you replace the fan tray assembly while the system maintains all routing information and ensures session preservation.
Although the fan tray assembly supports OIR and can be replaced without interruption to system operation, do not operate the system without the fan tray assembly for more than a few minutes to prevent overheating.
Use the following procedure to remove and replace the fan tray assembly.
Step 1 Loosen the two captive screws on the fan tray assembly (item 3 in Figure 5-16).

Step 2 Grasp the handle and pull the fan tray assembly out of the fan tray housing (Figure 5-17).
•Support the bottom of the assembly with your other hand when removing the fan tray.
•Electrical connection for the fans are automatically disconnected when the fan tray is removed from the housing.
Figure 5-17 Cisco 12404 Router Fan Tray Assembly
Step 3 Hold the fan tray assembly with both hands and insert the connector end of the fan try into the fan tray assembly housing channel.
Note The fan try is designed to install only one way. Excessive force is not necessary when installing the fan tray assembly in the housing channel.
Step 4 Tighten the two captive screws on the fan tray assembly.
Electrical and control line connections for the fan tray assembly are made automatically when the fan tray is properly seated in the fan tray housing.
Troubleshooting the Fan Tray Assembly Installation
After the fan tray assembly is connected to a power source, follow these steps to verify that the fan tray assembly is operating properly.
Step 1 Verify that the fans are operating when the connectors are properly mated at the backplane and the captive screws are tightened. If the fans are not operating check that:
•The fan tray assembly is seated properly and is flush against the chassis.
•The captive screws are tightened securely.
Step 2 If the AC or DC power source was disconnected to remove and replace the fan tray assembly, make sure the router is powered on.
Step 3 If the fan tray assembly does not operate after verifying the items in steps 1 and 2, replace the fan tray assembly.
If the replacement fan assembly does not operate, shut down your router and contact a Cisco service representative for assistance.
Removing and Replacing an RP or Line Card
The process to remove and replace a card in the RP and line card cage is presented in this section.
Line cards can occupy any slot, zero (0) through 3 in the RP and line card cage. Your Cisco 12404 router is configured with the RP in slot 0 (Figure 5-18).
Redundant RPs can be placed in any slot and requires a line card spacer to comply with EMI emission standards.
Additional line card information can be found in the respective installation and configuration note for each type of line card. Installation and configuration notes accompany every line card that ships from the factory as a field-replaceable unit (FRU).
Figure 5-18 CSF Location and RP and Line Card Slot Numbers
Removing an RP or Line Card
RP and line cards are hot swappable modules of the Cisco 12404 router. Removing an RP or line card from the RP and line card cage is presented in the following steps.
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist or ankle; and attach the ESD clip to the chassis or to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Identify the RP or line card to be replaced and write down the following information:
•The RP cable connections on the RP.
•The number and type of RP or line card, so that you will know the location of the card when you re-install it or the replacement, in the card cage.
•The network interface cable connection ports, on the RP or line card.
Step 3 On RPs, and line cards with multiple ports, start with the left port on the card and disconnect the interface cable connectors from each of the ports.
Step 4 After all of the interface cables are disconnected, loosen the two captive screws on the cable-management bracket and pull the bracket away from the card.
Step 5 Loosen the two ejector lever captive screws at each end of the RP or line card faceplate.
Step 6 Simultaneously pivot the ejector levers away from each other to unseat the RP or line card from the backplane connector and rotate each ejector lever outward away from the faceplate. See Figure 5-19.
Fully remove each RP or line card from the slots. Do not allow the line card to rest partially inserted into the slots as this will damage the EMI shielding on the RP or line card in the slot directly below.
Step 7 Grasp the edges of the card carrier with both hand to support it and fully remove the RP or line card from the slots.
Step 8 Immediately place the RP or line card in an antistatic bag to protect it against ESD and to prevent dust from getting to the fiber-optic connectors on fiber-optic line cards.
If you plan to return the defective unit to the factory, repackage it in the shipping container you received with the replacement RP or line card.
Figure 5-19 Removing an RP or Line Card from the Card Cage
Installing a Route Processor or Line Card
This section contains the procedure to install an RP or line card in the card cage.
Note Installing a card in slot 1 when all other slots are filled may require additional effort to properly seat the card. Because of the tight fit you have to either apply extra pressure to properly seat the card, or you can remove the card in slot 2 before installing the card in slot 1. After you install the card in slot 1 you can reinstall the card in slot 2.
To replace an RP or line card follow the steps in this procedure.
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist or ankle; and attach the ESD clip to the chassis or to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Check your notes on the slot assignment and network interface cable information that you wrote down before removing the other RP or line card.
Handle the RPs and line cards by the metal card carrier edges only; avoid touching the board itself or any connector pins.
Step 3 Remove the RP or line card from its shipping package and antistatic bag.
Step 4 Set both edges of the RP or line card carrier into the card slot carrier alignment grooves on either side of the card cage.
Do not allow the line card to rest partially inserted into the slots as this will damage the EMI shielding on the RP or line card in the slot directly below.
Step 5 Pivot the ejector levers away from each other; rotate each ejector lever outward away from the faceplate.
Step 6 Grasp the edges of the metal card carrier with both hands to support and guide the RP or line card into the slot alignment grooves in the card cage.
One edge of the card carrier faceplate is lined with an EMI-preventive gasket consisting of many raised, conductive contacts. Be careful not to damage the gasket contacts, because a damaged card carrier gasket can result in reduced EMI performance.
Step 7 Use both thumbs to slide the card carrier into the RP or line card slot until the ejector levers make contact with the front of the card cage, then stop.
Step 8 Grasp the two RP or line card ejector levers and pivot them toward the card faceplate until they are perpendicular to the faceplate; this action will seat the RP or line card in the backplane connector.
Note The line card will not boot properly if not fully seated.
Step 9 Tighten the captive screws on each side of the card faceplate to prevent the RP or line card from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane and to ensure proper EMI shielding.
Note The line card captive screws must be tightened to meet EMI specification standards.
Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 for any additional replacement RPs or line cards, and then proceed to the next section.
Attaching an RP and Line Card Cable Management Bracket
When you install a new RP or line card, you must attach the line card cable-management bracket to the faceplate of the card before connecting cables. The type of line card cable-management bracket used by a line card is determined by the line card type and the number of network interface ports on the card faceplate.
Cisco 12000 series router line cards use cable-management brackets for the following.
•Organize the network interface cables
•Keep the network interface cables out of the way
•Position connectors at their respective ports on the faceplate of the line card
•Keep the cables free of sharp bends (excessive bending in a network interface cable can cause performance degradation)
Attaching the line card cable-management bracket to a line card is presented in the following steps.
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist or ankle; and attach the ESD clip to the chassis or to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Take the RP and line card cable-management bracket from the shipping carton.
Step 3 Orient the top of the line card cable-management bracket with the top of the RP or line card faceplate. See Figure 5-20.
Step 4 Align the two captive screws on the bracket with the threaded insert holes near the ejector levers on each side of the RP or line card faceplate.
Step 5 Finger tighten the two captive screws.
Do not overtighten the captive screws; you might strip the threads on the screw or in the insert in the line card faceplate.
Step 6 Use a 3/16-inch flatblade screwdriver to further tighten the two captive screws.
Step 7 Repeat Step 2 through Step 6 for any remaining RPs or line cards.
Connecting RP and Line Card Cables
When you replace an existing RP or line card in the RP and line card cage, you must re-attach the line card cable management bracket to the RP or line card faceplate and reconnect the network interface cables to the replacement RP or line card.
If you have added a new RP or line card, you must connect the network interface cables to the RP or line card.
Note If a line card slot in the card cage is not populated with a line card, a blank line card must be installed to avoid an over temperature condition and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC).
To reconnect network interface cables to a replacement RP or line card in the card cage follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and to the chassis; or to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Attach an appropriate number of velcro straps to support the interface cables, through the slots in the cable management bracket (Figure 5-20).
Figure 5-20 Line Card or RP Cable Management Bracket with Velcro Strap
Step 3 Pull the small end of the velcro strap through the slot in the cable management bracket.
Step 4 Insert the small end of the velcro strap into the slot in the wide end of the velcro strap.

Removing and Replacing the Chassis
This section describes how to remove and replace a Cisco 12404 Internet router chassis. The router chassis is an integrated, sheet metal assembly that includes:
•1 CSF card slot
•1 Air filter housing
•1 Fan tray assembly housing
•1 Backplane with connectors
•2 AC PEM bays
•2 DC PEM and DC power distribution bays
•4 Slot RP and line card cage
The chassis can be rack mounted or placed on a stable flat surface.
Before You Begin
Because you will remove all of the components (except the air filter) from the defective chassis and reinstall them in the replacement chassis, during the process of removing the defective chassis, the procedures that follow are based on these prerequisites:
1. The replacement chassis has been removed from its shipping packaging and has been placed temporarily within reach of the rack in which the defective chassis is installed or near the surface where the defective chassis rests.
2. The replacement chassis has been temporarily connected to the same grounding system as the defective chassis.
3. You have prepared a place to set the defective chassis when it is removed from the equipment rack or stable flat surface.
4. Components are transferred from the defective chassis to the replacement chassis.
5. The replacement chassis and all the components now installed in it are inserted into the same equipment rack in place of the defective chassis.
6. The replacement chassis and all the components now installed in it are placed on a stable flat surface in place of the defective chassis.
This approach has the advantage of protecting against damage, the system components such as line cards, RPs and CSFs by eliminating the need to store them temporarily, outside their cages, bays and slots.
By transferring components from one chassis to the other, it will help to ensure that the physical configuration of the Cisco 12404 router is maintained, because each transferred component is installed in the same location in the replacement chassis that it occupied in the defective chassis.
Preparing the Replacement Chassis
Move the replacement chassis near the defective chassis site, temporarily connect the central office grounding system or interior equipment grounding system to the NEBS supplemental bonding and grounding receptacles on the replacement chassis. See Figure 5-24.
For more information, see the bonding and grounding cable and connector requirements, described in the "Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines" section on page 3-9.
Preparing the Defective Chassis
Information on how to prepare the defective chassis for component removal is presented here.
Disconnecting Power from the Router
You must first power down the Cisco 12404 router as instructed in the "Powering Off an AC Powered Router" section or the "Powering Off a DC Powered Router" section before performing the process of removing the components from the defective chassis to the replacement chassis. Although many of the components in this procedure are hot swappable, you must power down the router before you remove a DC PDU.
Warning Power off your router.
Removing the CSF Card
To remove the CSF card from the fabric slot follow the instructions in the "Removing the CSF Card" section.
Disconnecting RP Cables
To remove the RP cables from the RP card follow the instructions in the "Removing an RP or Line Card" section.
