Removing Components from the T640 Chassis

If you cannot use a mechanical lift to install the T640 router (the preferred method), you can install it manually. Before installing the router manually, you must first remove most components from the chassis, and you must reinstall the components after the router is installed in the rack. With components removed, the chassis weighs approximately 205 lb (93 kg).

This procedure to remove components from the chassis is for initial installation only, and assumes that you have not connected power cables or cords to the router. The procedure describes how to remove components from the chassis, first from the rear and then from the front:

Removing the T640 Power Supplies

The power supplies are located at the rear of the chassis below the SIBs. Each two-input 160-A DC power supply weighs approximately 23 lb (10.5 kg). Each three-input 240-A DC power supply weighs approximately 25 lb (11.3 kg). Each four-input 240-A DC power supply weighs approximately 26.6 lb (12.0 kg). Each AC power supply weighs 31.0 lb (14.06 kg).

To remove the power supplies, starting with the upper power supply:

  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.
  2. Switch the circuit breakers on the DC power supply faceplates to the off position (O) or the power switches on the AC power supply faceplates to the standby position. We recommend this even though the power supplies are not connected to power sources.
  3. Loosen the captive screws on the lower corners of the power supply faceplate completely.
  4. Twist the ejector handles on the upper corners of the faceplate counterclockwise to unseat the power supply.
  5. Grasp the handle on the power supply faceplate and pull firmly to start removing the power supply. Slide it halfway out of the chassis (see Figure 1).

    Caution: Be prepared to support the full weight of the power supply as you remove it from the router.

  6. Place one hand underneath the power supply to support it and slide it completely out of the chassis.
  7. Repeat the procedure for the other power supply.

Note: Figure 1 shows the two-input 160-A DC power supply, but the procedure also applies to the three-input 240-A DC power supply.

Removing the T640 SIBs

Five standard SIBs, SIB version B, or T640-SIBs are installed in the router. The SIBs are located in the rear of the chassis in the slots marked SIB0 through SIB4. Each SIB weighs approximately 6.8 lb (3.1 kg).

To remove a SIB (see Removing a SIB):

  1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
  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. For more information about ESD, see T640 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
  3. Loosen the captive screws (using a Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2) on the ejector handles on each side of the SIB faceplate.
  4. Flip the ejector handles outward to unseat the SIB.
  5. Grasp both ejector handles, pull firmly, and slide the SIB about three-quarters of the way out of the chassis.
  6. Place one hand underneath the SIB to support it and slide it completely out of the chassis. Place it on the antistatic mat.
  7. Repeat the procedure for each of the remaining SIBs.

Removing the T640 T-CBs

The router can have up to two T-CBs. These are located in the upper rear of the chassis in the slots marked CB0 and CB1. Each one weighs approximately 5 lb (2.3 kg).

  1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
  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. For more information about ESD, see T640 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
  3. Loosen the captive screws on the ejector handles on both sides of the T-CB faceplate.
  4. Flip the ejector handles outward to unseat the T-CB.
  5. Grasp the ejector handles and slide the T-CB about halfway out of the chassis.
  6. Place one hand underneath the T-CB to support it and slide it completely out of the chassis. Place it on the antistatic mat.

    Caution: Do not stack hardware components on one another after you remove them. Place each component on an antistatic mat resting on a stable, flat surface.

  7. Repeat the procedure for the second T-CB.

Removing a T640 SCG

The router can have one or two SCGs installed. The SCGs are located in the upper rear of the chassis, above the T-CBs and Routing Engines. Each SCG weighs approximately 1.9 lb (0.9 kg).

To remove an SCG (see Figure 4):

  1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
  2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. For more information about ESD, see T640 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
  3. Loosen the captive screws on the edges of the SCG faceplate.
  4. Grasp the SCG by the handle on the faceplate, and slide it out of the chassis.
  5. Place the SCG on the antistatic mat.
  6. Repeat the procedure for the second SCG.

Removing the T640 FPCs

The router holds up to eight FPCs, which are installed vertically in the front of the router. An empty FPC weighs approximately 25 lb (11.3 kg) and a fully configured FPC can weigh up to 32 lb (14.5 kg).

To remove an FPC (see Figure 7):

  1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
  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. For more information about ESD, see T640 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
  3. Before removing the FPCs, record their location in the chassis so that you can reinstall each FPC in the correct slot.
  4. If you are removing a Type 2 FPC or Type 3 FPC, loosen the screws inside the ejector handles at the top and bottom of the FPC faceplate.
  5. Simultaneously turn both the ejector handles counterclockwise to unseat the FPC.
  6. Grasp the handles and slide the FPC straight out of the card cage halfway.
  7. Place one hand around the front of the FPC (the PIC housing) and the other hand under it to support it. Slide the FPC completely out of the chassis, and place it on the antistatic mat or in the electrostatic bag.

    Caution: The weight of the FPC is concentrated in the back end. Be prepared to accept the full weight—up to 32 lb (14.5 kg)—as you slide the FPC out of the chassis.

    When the FPC is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the ejector handles or edge connectors. They cannot support its weight.

    Do not stack FPCs on top of one another after removal. Place each one individually in an electrostatic bag or on its own antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
