Reinstalling the TX Matrix Components
After the TX Matrix router
is installed in the rack, you reinstall the removed components before
cabling, booting, and configuring the TX Matrix router. These
procedures describe how to reinstall components in the chassis, first
in the rear and then in the front:
- Reinstalling the Rear Fan Tray
- Reinstalling the TX-CBs
- Reinstalling the Power Supplies
- Reinstalling the TX-SIBs
- Reinstalling the Front Fan Trays
Reinstalling the Rear Fan Tray
To reinstall the rear fan tray (see Figure 1):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD
grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
- Grasp the fan tray by its handles, and insert it straight
into the chassis.
- Tighten the captive screws on the top and bottom of the
fan tray faceplate to secure it in the chassis.

Reinstalling the TX-CBs
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD
grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
- Ensure that the ejector handles are not flush with the
faceplate. If necessary, loosen the captive screws and flip the ejector
handles outward.
- Carefully align the sides of the TX-CB with the guides
inside the chassis.
- Slide the TX-CB into the chassis, carefully ensuring that
it is correctly aligned.
- Grasp both ejector handles, and press them inward to seat
the TX-CB.
- Tighten the captive screws on the ejector handles, using
a Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2.
- Repeat the procedure to reinstall the remaining TX-CB.

Reinstalling the Power Supplies
To reinstall the power supplies (see Figure 3):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD
grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
- Switch both circuit breakers on the power supply faceplate
to the off position (O).
- Using both hands, slide the power supply into the chassis
until you feel resistance.
- Twist the ejector handles at the upper corners of the
power supply faceplate clockwise until they stop.
- Tighten the captive screws at the lower corners of the
power supply faceplate to secure the power supply in the chassis.
- Repeat the procedure for the other power supply.

Reinstalling the TX-SIBs
 | Caution:
Be prepared to support the weight of the TX-SIB (approximately
35 lb [15.9 kg]) before you lift it. |
To reinstall the TX-SIBs (see Figure 4):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD
grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
- Place one hand under the bottom edge of the TX-SIB and
one hand around the top of the TX-SIB faceplate.
 | Caution:
When the TX-SIB is out of the chassis, do not hold
it by its ejector handles or edge connectors. They cannot support
its weight. |
- Locate the slot in the TX-SIB card cage in which you plan
to install the TX-SIB.
- Lift the TX-SIB into place and carefully align first the
bottom, then the top of the TX-SIB with the guides inside the card
cage.
- Carefully slide the TX-SIB all the way into the card cage
until you feel resistance.
- Starting with the ejector handles on the top and bottom
of the TX-SIB faceplate nearly horizontal, simultaneously turn both
ejector handles clockwise to seat the TX-SIB.
- Repeat the procedure for each of the remaining TX-SIBs.

Reinstalling the Front Fan Trays
To reinstall the front fan trays (see Figure 5):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD
grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
- Grasp one of the fan trays by its handles, and insert
it straight into the chassis.
- Tighten the captive screw on each side of the fan tray
faceplate to secure it in the chassis.
- Repeat the procedure to reinstall the remaining fan tray.
