Removing the Power Supplies

The router has two power supplies located at the bottom rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure 2. A power supply weighs approximately 13 lb (5.9 kg).

To remove the power supplies, follow this procedure (see Figure 32):

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. Make sure the router is attached to a proper earth ground. For more information about ESD, see Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
2. Verify that the power switch for each power supply is in the OFF (O) position. The switches are on the circuit breaker box.
3. Loosen the thumbscrew at each corner of the power supply faceplate, using a Phillips screwdriver if necessary.
4. Grasp the handle or handles on the power supply faceplate and pull firmly to slide the unit about halfway out of the chassis.
5. Place one hand under the power supply to support it, then slide it completely out of the chassis.
6. Repeat the procedure to remove the second power supply.
