Installing Cisco AC and DC Power Supplies in Cisco 2500 Series Routers

Installing Cisco AC and DC Power Supplies in Cisco 2500 Series Routers

Product Numbers: PWR-2500-AC=, PWR-2500-DC=

This document describes how to replace the AC or DC power supply in Cisco 2500 series routers. The AC and DC power supplies are spare parts items. The replacement of the power supply requires removing the existing power supply and installing the replacement power supply. This procedure does not apply to the Cisco 2517, 2518, or 2519 versions of the Cisco 2500 series routers.

This document includes the following sections:

Warning  This waning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, you must be aware of the hazards involved with the electrical circuitry and familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)
Warning  Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)
Warning  Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)

Required Tools and Equipment

You will need the following items:

Removing the Cover

You must remove the chassis cover to access the internal power supply. When opening the chassis, refer to Parts A and B in Figure 1.

Warning Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)

Warning 
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)

Warning 
Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)

Warning 
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)

Take the following steps to remove the chassis cover:

Step 1 Power OFF the router.

Step 2 Attach your ESD-preventive wrist strap.

Step 3 Disconnect all cables from the rear panel of the router.

Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is OFF and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)

Step 4 Turn the unit upside down so that the top of the chassis is resting on a flat surface, and the front of the chassis is facing toward you. (See Figure 1, Part A.)

Step 5 Remove the single screw located on the bottom of the chassis (on the side closest to you). Note that the chassis is comprised of two sections: top and bottom.

Step 6 If required, insert a medium-size flat-blade screwdriver into the slots shown in Figure 1, Part A, and rotate the blade so that the top and bottom sections separate slightly.

Step 7 Holding the chassis with both hands, position it as shown in Figure 1, Part B.

Step 8 Pull the top section away from the bottom section. (See Figure 1, Part B.) The fit is very snug, so it may be necessary to pry the chassis sections apart at one end and then the other until they separate.
