Safety Guidelines
Before you begin the replacement procedure, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
In addition, before installing, configuring, or maintaining the Cisco 12404 Internet Router, review the safety warnings listed in the document Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 12000 Gigabit Switch Router Series (Document Number 78-4347-09) that accompanied your router.
Safety Warnings
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that, if performed incorrectly, may harm you. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement. The following paragraph is an example of a safety warning. It identifies the warning symbol and associates it with a bodily injury hazard. The remaining paragraphs in this section are translations of the initial safety warning.
Safety with Equipment
The following guidelines will help ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list is not inclusive of all potentially hazardous situations, so be alert.
•
Always disconnect all power cords and interface cables before moving the system.
•
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check.
•
Keep tools and assembly components away from walk areas.
•
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
•
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Safety with Electricity
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
•
Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the interior of the router, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
•
Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a router.
•
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
•
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
•
Never install equipment that appears damaged.
•
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
•
If an electrical accident does occur, proceed as follows:
–
Use caution; do not become a victim yourself. Disconnect power to the router.
–
If possible, send another person to get medical aid; otherwise, assess the condition of the victim and then call for help.
–
Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.
In addition, observe the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source but still connected to telephone or network wiring:
•
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
•
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to circuit boards can occur if they are handled improperly. Such mishandling can result in intermittent or complete failures of the board.
When handling circuit boards, observe the following guidelines to prevent ESD damage.
•
Always use an ESD-preventive ankle or wrist strap and ensure that the strap makes adequate contact with your skin.
•
Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist or ankle and to the chassis; or to a bare metal surface. See Figure 1.
•
The ankle or wrist strap protects equipment from ESD voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage to electronic components.

Note
When operating your router on an AC power source, both PEM bays must have all AC PEMs installed to ensure compliance with regulatory EMI standards.
Checking the Startup
Check the startup banner and displays to ensure that the system has restarted properly and that all the interfaces reinitialize properly. You should observe the power module LEDs shown in Figure 6. Also, listen for the fans in the fan tray, you should immediately hear them operating. In a noisy environment, the fans might be difficult to hear; therefore, place your hand in front of the exhaust vents at the side of the chassis to verify that the fans are operating.
Visually check the CSF LEDs, MBus LEDs on the CSF, and the RP LEDs on the RP. RP LEDs are located at one end of the RP faceplate, near the ejector lever.

If you are still unable to resolve the problem, contact your Cisco service representative for assistance.
Reconnecting to a DC Power Source
This section provides the procedure for reconnecting your router to a DC power source.
![]()
Note
We recommend each DC PDU be connected to an independent power source for full redundancy. We also recommend that you use an uninterruptable power source (UPS) to protect against power failures at your site.

Reconnecting a DC PDU and DC PEM Assembly
Each DC PDU should be connected to separate DC sources using six threaded terminals. Two terminals for negative (source DC), two terminals for positive (source DC return), and two terminals for ground.
![]()
Warning
Power to your router must be Off and all cables disconnected before you reconnect the DC PDU and DC PEM. The DC PDU and DC PEM when connected, is not a hot-swappable, field replaceable unit.
Use this procedure to reconnect power to the DC PEM and DC PDU. The DC power module housing is located at the rear of the chassis.
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive strap to yourself and to either the chassis, or to a bare metal surface. See the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section.

Secure each lead to the proper terminal port by tightening the terminal port connector screws with a 3/16-inch flat-blade screw driver.
Step 3
Verify that the DC power source circuit breaker servicing the DC PEM is switched on.
Checking the Startup
Check the startup banner and displays to ensure that the system has restarted properly and that all the interfaces reinitialize properly. You should observe the power module LEDs shown in Figure 13. Also, listen for the fans in the fan tray, you should immediately hear them operating. In a noisy environment, the fans might be difficult to hear; therefore, place your hand in front of the exhaust vents at the side of the chassis to verify that the fans are operating.
Visually check the CSF LEDs, MBus LEDs on the CSF, and the RP LEDs on the RP. RP LEDs are located at one end of the RP faceplate, near the ejector lever. Figure 12 shows the RP LED displays.
