Tools and Parts Required

To remove components from the router or the router from a rack, you need the following tools and parts:

• 2.5 mm flat-blade (–) screwdriver, for detaching alarm relay terminal block
• 5/32-in. Allen (hexagonal) wrench for loosening the mounting screws that secure the router to the rack; do not substitute a metric-size wrench
• 7/16-in. hexagonal-head external drive socket wrench, or nut driver, with a minimum of 30 lb-in. (3.5 Nm) tightening torque, for loosening nuts from terminal studs on the circuit breaker box

  Do not substitute a metric nut driver or wrench. A tool that does not fit the nuts exactly can damage them. If a 7/16-in. tool is not available, use pliers or an adjustable wrench.

• Blank panels to cover empty slots
• Electrostatic bags or antistatic mats, one for each electronic component removed
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding wrist strap
• Flat-blade screwdriver, approximately 1/4 in. (6 mm), for removing craft interface
• Mechanical lift, if available
• Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2
• Rubber safety cap for fiber-optic PICs or PIC cable
