Replacement procedures
The router uses a modular, all-pluggable design, and supports replacing hot swappable modules
without interrupting the router operation.
Safety recommendations
1.
Always wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves when replacing the modules.
2.
When working with a removable module, such as an MPU, RPE-X1/RPE-X3/RPE-X5/RPE-X5E
carrier (used when you use an RPE-X1/RPE-X3/RPE-X5/RPE-X5E MPU), FIP module, SAP
module, switching fabric module, memory module, CF card, or HIM/MIM/MIC, follow these
guidelines:
{
Ensure good alignment with the slot to avoid damage to the module during installation or
removal.
{
Before removing a module, make sure the captive screws are completely loosened.
Otherwise, the panel of the module might be deformed.
{
Avoid touching any components on the PCB during observing or moving the module.
{
Put the removed module on an antistatic workbench with the PCB side facing upward or
place them in antistatic bags.
Replacing a power module
The replacement procedure of an AC power module is the same as a DC power module. This section
takes an AC power module as an example.
To replace a power module:
1.
Loosen the captive screws of the power module to be removed until all spring pressure is
released.
2.
Gently pull the power module out of the slot along the slide rails.

3.
Put the removed power module on an antistatic workbench or into an antistatic bag.
4.
If you do not install a new power module in the slot, install a filler panel. To install a power
module, see "
