Locate and access internal components

The figure shows the locations of internal components on the motherboard. Internal modules include DIMMs on Cisco 8300 Series Secure Routers.

To access the internal components on the device, you must first remove the chassis cover. For instructions on how to remove and replace the chassis cover on the device, see the sections on Install and Remove Chassis Covers.

Remove and replace the chassis cover

The Cisco 8300 Series Secure Routers have removable covers. Before removing the cover, do these steps:

  • Do not run the device with the cover off. Doing so can cause the chassis to overheat very quickly.

  • Disconnect all power cables.

  • Remove the device from the rack

Warning

Statement 1041—Disconnect Telephone Network Cables

Before opening the unit, disconnect the telephone network cables to avoid contact with telephone network voltages.

Use a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to perform these tasks.


Remove the chassis cover

To remove the cover, perform the following steps.

Procedure

1.

Read the Safety Warnings and disconnect the power supply before you perform any module replacement.

2.

Confirm the device is turned off and disconnected from the power supply or power supplies. If a redundant power is used, disconnect from the redundant power supply.

3.

Place the chassis on a flat surface.

4.

Remove the 11 cover screws.

5.

Lift the cover straight up.


Replace the cover

To replace the cover, perform these steps.

Procedure

1.

Place the chassis on a flat surface.

2.

Drop the cover straight down and ensure that the side flanges insert into the chassis. Care should be taken to not damage the EMC Gaskets.

3.

Install the 11 cover screws.
