Replacing a JCS1200 Chassis
To replace a chassis, you must remove components from the old chassis and install them in the new chassis.
Removing Components from a JCS1200 Chassis
To remove components from a JCS1200 chassis:
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
- Power off any Routing Engines in the JCS1200 platform (see Powering Off a JCS1200 Routing Engine).
- Disconnect the power from the platform (see Disconnecting Power from the JCS1200 Platform).
- Remove the following components from the front
of the platform:
- Switch modules: Pull the handle on each switch module or filler to the open position and remove the module or filler (see Removing a JCS1200 Switch Module or Module Filler).
- Management modules: Pull the handle on each management module or filler to the open position and remove the module or filler (see Removing a JCS1200 Management Module or Module Filler).
- Disengage the following components from
the midplane using the procedure indicated:

Note: Make sure each component is pulled out of the JCS1200 platform at least 1 in. (2.54 cm).
- Routing Engines: Pull the two release handles on each Routing Engine to the open position (see Removing a JCS1200 Routing Engine).
- Power modules: Pull the handle on each power module or filler to the open position (see Removing a JCS1200 Power Module).
- Media tray: Pull the handle on each media tray or filler to the open position (see Removing a JCS1200 Media Tray).
- Remove the fan shuttle from the platform (see Removing a JCS1200 Fan Shuttle).
- Remove the upper and lower power boxes from the rear of the chassis (see Removing a JCS1200 Power Box).
- If you are instructed to return the chassis, follow all packaging instructions and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
Installing Components in a Replacement JCS1200 Chassis
To install components in a replacement JCS1200 chassis:
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
- Install the upper and lower power boxes into the chassis (see Installing a JCS1200 Power Box).
- Install the fan shuttle into the chassis (see Installing a JCS1200 Fan Shuttle).
- Push the following components fully into the front
of the platform to reengage the midplane:
- Routing Engines: Slide each Routing Engine or filler into the bay; then push the two release handles to the closed position (see Installing a JCS1200 Routing Engine).
- Media trays: Slide each media tray or filler into the platform; then push the release handle to the closed position (see Installing a JCS1200 Media Tray).
- Switch modules: Slide each switch module or filler into the platform; then push the release handle to the closed position (see Installing a JCS1200 Switch Module or Module Filler).
- Management modules: Slide each management module or filler into the platform; then push the release handle to the closed position (see Installing a JCS1200 Management Module or Module Filler).
- Slide each power module or filler into the bay; then push the release handle to the closed position (see Installing a JCS1200 Power Module).
- Reconnect the power to the platform (see Connecting the JCS1200 AC Platform to AC Power or Connecting the JCS1200 DC Platform to DC Power).
- Restart any Routing Engines that were powered off in the platform (see Powering On a JCS1200 Routing Engine).
