Preparing to Install Modules

Before installing modules in the router, verify the following guidelines have been met:

Note: The CGR 1120 router supports online insertion and removal (OIR) of modules. For more information see Installing a Module and Removing a Module.

■Verify that there is adequate airflow around the module slots and through the router vents. For more information, see Installation Safety and Site Preparation.

■The ambient installation environment temperature must not exceed 140°F (60° C). If the module is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the temperature around it might be higher than normal room temperature.

■The installation environment humidity must not exceed 95% (non-condensing).

■The installation site altitude must be no higher than 10,000 feet.

■After replacing or installing a module in the router, you must update the label (on the router exterior) that lists the module types contained in the router. The label must list the FCC ID number and the IC Certification number for each module installed in the router.

Installation Warning Statements

This section includes the installation warning statements. Translations of these warning statements appear in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco Connected Grid Router 1000 Series Routers documents on Cisco.com, at: www.cisco.com/go/cgr1000-docs.

• Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030
• To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of:
  140°F (60°C) Statement 1047
• To prevent airflow restriction, allow clearance around the ventilation openings to be at least: 1.75 in. (4.4 cm) Statement 1076

Module Installation Locations

There are two module slots and these are numbered 3 and 4. Connected Grid modules can be installed in either module slot, regardless of module type. Empty module slots must be covered with a blank faceplate.

Installing a Module

A module can be installed in a router in an offline or online state. Installing a module in an online router involves using the CLI or CG-DM application. The instructions for removing a module can vary based on the router operating system—Connected Grid operating system (CG-OS) or Cisco IOS operating system.

Note: The CGR 1120 router supports online insertion and removal (OIR) of modules. To install a module by OIR, there are two options:

■Power down the module slot using the command line interface (CLI) prior to installing the module.

■Use the CG-DM application to remove the module.

Tip: This section provides general module installation steps. For detailed steps for the module type that you are installing, see the installation and configuration guide for your module at: www.cisco.com/go/cgr1000-docs.

To install a module, choose from the following options:

■Installing a Module in an Offline Router

■Installing a Module in an Online Router using the CLI

■Installing a Module using Connected Grid Device Manager

Installing a Module in an Offline Router

To install a module in an offline router:

1. Identify the slot the module is to be installed in (3 or 4).

2. Disconnect the router from AC power.

3. Insert the module in the slot as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Inserting a Module in to the Router

4. Use a screwdriver to tighten the module captive screws (two per module) into the connectors on the router front panel to 10–12 in-lb (1.13–1.36 N-m).

5. Attach any required cables to the module. This step is specific to the module type.

Installing a Module in an Online Router using the CLI

To install a module in an online router using the CLI:

1. Identify the slot where the module is to be installed (3 or 4).

2. Start a terminal session to access the command line interface (CLI by following the instructions in Starting a Router Terminal Session.

3. Power down the slot (number 3 or 4) by issuing the appropriate command at the (CLI):

–For a router using Cisco CG-OS, use the following command:

Installing a Module using Connected Grid Device Manager

Note: There are different versions of the CG-DM application for routers using the Cisco CG-OS and Cisco IOS operating systems. Verify that you have the correct version installed before proceeding.

To install a module using CG-DM:

1. Identify the slot the module is to be installed in (3 or 4).

2. For CG-DM instructions on how to install a module:

–If the router is using Cisco CG-OS, see the “Add a Module” section of the “Using the Device Manager” chapter of the Cisco Connected Grid Device Manager Installation and User Guide on Cisco.com.

–If the router is using Cisco IOS, see the “Inserting a Module” section of the “Using the Device Manager” chapter of the Cisco Connected Grid Device Manager Installation and User Guide (Cisco IOS) on Cisco.com.

3. Use a screwdriver to tighten the module captive screws (two per module) into the connectors on the router front panel to 10–12 in-lb (1.13–1.36 N-m).

Removing a Module

A module can be removed from a router in an offline or online state. Removing a module from an online router involves using the CLI or CG-DM application. The instructions for removing a module can vary based on the router operating system—Connected Grid operating system (CG-OS) or Cisco IOS operating system.

Note: The CGR 1120 router supports online insertion and removal (OIR) of modules. To remove a module by OIR, there are two options:

■Power down the module slot using the command line interface (CLI) prior to removing the module.

■Use the CG-DM application to remove the module.

The options for removing a module are:

■Removing a Module from an Offline Router

■Removing a Module from an Online Router using the CLI

■Removing a Module using Connected Grid Device Manager

Removing a Module from an Offline Router

To remove a module from an offline router:

1. Identify the slot from where the module is to be removed (3 or 4).

2. Disconnect the router from AC power.

3. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the module captive screws (two per module) from the connectors on the router front panel.

4. Pull the module gently from the router.

5. If the module slot is being left empty, cover the slot with a blank faceplate.

Removing a Module from an Online Router using the CLI

To remove a module from an online router using the CLI:

1. Identify the slot from where the module is to be removed (3 or 4).

2. Start a terminal session to access the command line interface (CLI by following the instructions in Starting a Router Terminal Session.

3. Power down the slot (number 3 or 4) by issuing the appropriate command at the (CLI):

–For a router using Cisco CG-OS, use the following command:

Removing a Module using Connected Grid Device Manager

Note: The CG-DM application for routers using Cisco CG-OS and Cisco IOS is different. Verify that you have the correct version installed before proceeding.

To remove a module using CG-DM:

1. Identify the slot the module is to be installed in (3 or 4).

2. For CG-DM instructions on how to remove a module:

–If the router is using Cisco CG-OS, see the “Remove a Module” section of the “Using the Device Manager” chapter of the Cisco Connected Grid Device Manager Installation and User Guide on Cisco.com.

–If the router is using Cisco IOS, see the “Removing a Module” section of the “Using the Device Manager” chapter of the Cisco Connected Grid Device Manager Installation and User Guide (Cisco IOS) on Cisco.com.

3. If the module slot is being left empty, cover the slot with a blank faceplate.
