Disabling and Enabling the BBU in the Router
Step 4
Place the disconnected male and female connectors back into the chassis with them still slightly
protruding from the open cable port. You will use the cable port plug to fully insert the connectors back
into the chassis.
Step 5
Cup the protruding connectors with the cavity in the cable port plug previously removed. Re-insert the
plug, maintaining the connectors in the cavity. Use the 1/2” or 13mm socket wrench to tighten the plug
to a torque value of 6-7 ft-lbs (8.13 - 9.49 N-m).
Caution
Do not over-torque the cable port plug. The torque should not exceed 7 ft-lbs (9.49 N-m).
Note
The cable port plug cavity now holds the single-pin connectors captive. This allows the BBU
single-pin connectors to be connected more easily.
Disable the BBU via BBU Cable Connector on the Router Cable Harness
Step 1
Open the chassis door by following the steps in the
“Opening the Router Door” section on page 4-1
of
the
“Opening the Router Chassis”
chapter.
Step 2
Locate the BBU cable connector attached to the base of BBU 1. Find the latch on the underside of the
connector. Press the tab of the latch and pull it to disconnect the connector from BBU 1.
Step 3
Tuck the BBU connector into the chassis door to prevent any interference with the closure of the door.
Step 4
Close the chassis door by following the steps in the
“Closing the Door” section on page 4-4
of the
“Opening the Router Chassis”
chapter.
Disabling the BBU via the CLI
Different BBU functionality can be disabled via the CLI:
•
Disable the BBU discharge—for example, to inhibit the BBU discharge during storage, shipping or
transport in order to preserve battery life.
•
Disable the BBU operation—for example, to replace the battery in an installed and operating router.
The CLI operations are detailed in the following sections:
•
Disabling the BBU Discharge in a Cisco CG-OS Router, page 12-16
•
Disabling the BBU Discharge in a Cisco IOS Router, page 12-17
