Reinstalling TX Matrix Plus Components After Installing the
Chassis
After the TX Matrix Plus router
is installed in the rack, you reinstall the removed components before
cabling, booting, and configuring the router. The procedures describe
how to reinstall components in the chassis, first in the rear and
then in the front:
- Reinstalling the Rear Fan Trays
- Reinstalling the Power Supplies
- Reinstalling the TXP-F13 SIBs
- Reinstalling the Front Fan Trays
- Reinstalling the Host Subsystems
- Reinstalling the TXP-F2S SIBs
Reinstalling the Rear Fan Trays
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 one of the ESD points
on the chassis.
- Grasp the fan tray by its handles and insert it straight
into the chassis.
- Tighten the captive screw on the bottom of the fan tray
faceplate to secure it in the chassis, using a Phillips (+) screwdriver,
number 2.

Reinstalling the Power Supplies
Each seven-input 420-A power supply without the input
power tray weighs approximately 35.5 lb (16.1 kg).
The input power tray weighs 3.7 lb (1.7 kg).
To reinstall the seven-input 420-A power supplies (see Figure 2):
- 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 the circuit breakers on the power supply faceplate
to the OFF position (O).
 | Note:
We recommend this precaution even though the power supplies
are not connected to power. |
- Using both hands, slide the power supply into the chassis
until you feel resistance (see Figure 2).
- Twist the ejector handles at the upper corners of the
power supply faceplate clockwise until they stop.
- Slide the power supply input tray into the power supply.
- Push the metal handle of the input power tray up toward
the power supply.
- Fasten the input power tray to the power supply using
the two captive screws. Use a Phillips screwdriver, number 2.
- Repeat the procedure for the other power supply.

Reinstalling the TXP-F13 SIBs
To reinstall the TXP-SIBs (see Figure 4):
 | Caution:
Be prepared to support the weight of the TX-SIB (approximately
35 lb [15.9 kg]) before you lift it. |
- 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 TXP-F13 SIB
and one hand around the top of the TXP-F13 SIB faceplate.
 | Caution:
When the TXP-F13 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 TXP-F13 SIB card cage in which
you plan to install the TXP-F13 SIB.
- Lift the TXP-F13 SIB into place, and carefully align the
left and right edges with the guides inside the card cage.
- Carefully slide the TXP-F13 SIB all the way into the card
cage until you feel resistance.
- Simultaneously turn both left and right ejector handles
clockwise to seat the TXP-F13 SIB.
- Repeat the procedure for the remaining TXP-F13 SIBs.

Reinstalling the Front Fan Trays
To reinstall front fan trays (see Figure 5):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points
on the chassis.
- Grasp the fan tray by its handles and insert it straight
into the chassis.
- Tighten the captive screws on each side of the fan tray
faceplate to secure it in the chassis, using a Phillips (+) screwdriver,
number 2.
- Repeat the procedure to reinstall the remaining fan tray.

Reinstalling the Host Subsystems
To reinstall the host subsystems—TXP-CBs and Routing
Engines (see Figure 6):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD
grounding point.
- Carefully align the bottom and then the top edges of the
host subsystem with the guides inside the chassis.
- Slide the host subsystem into the chassis, carefully
ensuring that it is correctly aligned.
- Grasp both ejector handles and press them inward to seat
the host subsystem until the ejectors latch into the faceplate.
- Repeat the procedure to reinstall the remaining host subsystem.

Reinstalling the TXP-F2S SIBs
To reinstall the TXP-F2Ss (see Figure 7):
 | Caution:
Be prepared to support the weight of the TXP-F2S (approximately
35 lb [15.9 kg]) before you lift it. |
- 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.
- Lift the TXP-F2S SIB into place and carefully align first
the bottom, then the top of the TXP-F2S SIB with the guides inside
the card cage.
- Carefully slide the TXP-F2S SIB all the way into the card
cage until you feel resistance.
- Seat the TXP-F2S SIB by grasping the ejector handle and
rotating the ejector handle inward until the ejectors latch into the
faceplate.
- Repeat the procedure for each of the remaining TXP-F2S
SIBs.
