Removing and Replacing FRUs from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
Slip on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and attach it to a chassis surface.
Step 2
If connected, remove any I/O cables from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor.
Step 3
Using a number 2 Phillips or a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws on the faceplate of the
Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor.
Step 4
Using the handles on both sides of the module, with two hands gently slide the module out of the chassis slot.
Warning
Handle the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor by the carrier edges only; never touch the printed circuit
board components or connector pins.
Step 5
Place the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor module on an antistatic surface with its printed circuit board components
facing upward or in a static shielding bag.
If you are returning the Cisco ASR 1000 route processor to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding

Cisco ASR 1004, and Cisco ASR 1013 Routers
To replace the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor (RP1 or RP2) in the Cisco ASR 1006, Cisco ASR
1004, and Cisco ASR 1013 Routers, follow this procedure:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
2. Remove the new Cisco ASR 1000 series route processor from its static shielding bag.
3. Using both hands, grasp the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor by its metal carrier edges and orient
the it so that its printed circuit board components are upward.
4. Align the left and right edges of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor printed circuit board between
the route processor slot guides.
5. Gently slide the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor all the way into its chassis slot until you feel the
connectors seat with the router midplane.
6. Seat the route processor in the router midplane by tightening its captive installation screws with a number
