Removing and Replacing a DC Power Supply
This section provides information about removing and replacing a DC power supply in the Cisco ASR 902
Router.
The Cisco ASR 902 Router power supplies are hot-swappable. If you have installed redundant power
supplies, you can replace a single power supply without interrupting power to the router.
Note
To avoid erroneous failure messages, allow at least 2 minutes for the system to reinitialize after a power
supply has been removed or replaced.
Caution
When you install the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement
