Removing the DC Power Connections from the Cisco cBR Chassis


Warning

The terminal block covers are an integral part of the safety design of the product. Do not operate the unit without the covers installed. Statement 1077


Warning

When you install the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046


Warning

Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Statement 1003


Warning

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

Before you begin

Required Tools and Equipment

  • Torque wrench

  • 7/16" hex socket

Procedure

Step 1

Power down the DC FPEM using the power switch.

Step 2

Power down the circuit or power supply to which the positive and negative lead cables are connected.

Step 3

Remove the terminal block cover on the terminal block, from which you need to disconnect power, by pushing down on the bottom tab then pivoting the bottom out.

Step 4

Loosen the 1/4-20 terminal bolts using a torque wrench and 7/16" hex socket and remove them. Disconnect the positive lead cable.

Step 5

Loosen the 1/4-20 terminal bolts using a torque wrench and 7/16" hex socket and remove them. Disconnect the negative lead cable.

Step 6

Repeat Step 2 and Step 5 to disconnect each terminal block connection.

Step 7

Insert the 1/4-20 terminal bolts and secure them using a torque wrench and 7/16" hex socket with a torque of 45-50 in-lb (5.08-5.65 Nm).

Step 8

Reinstall the terminal block covers by clipping them on the top edge of the terminal block housing and then rotating them down until they snap into place.

Removing the Power Module from the Cisco cBR Chassis

Before you begin

  • Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the other end to the grounding lug connected to the chassis.

  • Be aware of the weight and size of the equipment. Handle it with care.

Restrictions

  • For the DC-powered Cisco cBR with N+1 redundancy, ensure that the chassis has at least five operational DC Power Modules for the chassis to be functional.

  • For the AC-powered Cisco cBR with N+1 redundancy, ensure that the chassis has at least four operational AC Power Modules for the chassis to be functional.

  • For the AC-powered Cisco cBR with 1+1 redundancy, ensure that the chassis has six operational AC Power Modules for the chassis to be functional.

Required Tools and Equipment

  • ESD-preventive wrist strap

  • 3/16" flat-blade torque screwdriver

  • Antistatic bag

Procedure

Step 1

Loosen the two screws on the front power entry bezel using a 3/16" flat-blade torque screwdriver. Remove the front power entry bezel from the chassis.

Figure 3. Removing the Front Power Entry Bezel from the Chassis


Step 2

Loosen the screw on the Power Module using a 3/16" flat-blade torque screwdriver.

Step 3

Pull the handle down to disengage the Power Module from the chassis.

Step 4

Slide the Power Module out of its bay with one hand while supporting the base of the module with your other hand.

Step 5

Place the removed Power Module in an antistatic bag.

What to do next

  • Replace the Power Module (if required).

  • Position the front power entry bezel on the chassis. Insert and tighten the two screws using a 3/16" flat-blade torque screwdriver with a torque of 5-7 in-lb (0.56-0.79 Nm) to secure the bezel.

Removing the FPEM from the Cisco cBR Chassis

Before you begin

Required Tools and Equipment

  • ESD-preventive wrist strap

  • T10 Torx screwdriver

  • Antistatic bag

Procedure

Step 1

Loosen and remove the four #6-32 Torx-head screws on the mounting flanges of the FPEM using a T10 Torx screwdriver.
