Install the Routing Engine

To install the Routing Engine, follow this procedure (see Figure 43):

1. Verify that the power switch on both power supply faceplates is in the OFF (O) position.
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 Prevent Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
3. Verify that the extractor clip at each end of the Routing Engine is flipped toward the outer edge of the unit. If necessary, use your thumbs to push and hold the red tab on each extractor clip toward the outer edge, then push the ends of the extractor clips outward.
4. Place one hand under the Routing Engine to support it and grasp one of the extractor clips on the faceplate with the other hand.
5. Align the rear of the Routing Engine with the guide rails inside the chassis and slide it in completely.

   Align the Routing Engine carefully with the guide rails and push it in evenly. Damage can result if it gets lodged in the rails because of uneven movement.

6. Press the extractor clip at each end of the Routing Engine inward to seat the unit firmly in the chassis.
7. Replace the Routing Engine cover on the FEB faceplate, by sliding the hooks at the bottom of the cover under the lower edge of the FEB ejector levers and aligning the holes in the cover with the holes in the faceplate (the cover is shown in Figure 3). Insert screws into the five holes in the cover and use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten them.
8. Perform the procedures in Power On the Routerto power on the router and verify correct startup.
9. Issue the show chassis routing-engine command described in Maintain the Routing Engine to verify correct Routing Engine functioning.
