This document explains how to remove and replace the subchassis and the fan tray in the Cisco 7200 series routers. It includes instructions for powering down the router, removing the subchassis, removing the fan tray from the subchassis, installing a new fan tray in a new subchassis, and installing the new subchassis in the router. This document also includes steps for verifying a successful router boot after powering up the router.
The fan tray is housed in the subchassis; therefore, you must remove the subchassis from the router to gain access to the fan tray. The router midplane is part of the subchassis. To replace the router midplane, you must replace the entire subchassis.
The following sections are included in this document:
The Cisco IOS software running your router contains extensive features and functionality. The effective use of many of these features is easier if you have more information at hand. For additional information on configuring and maintaining the Cisco 7200 series routers, the following documentation resources are available:
The Cisco 7200 series routers consist of the 4-slot Cisco 7204 and the 6-slot Cisco 7206. The Cisco 7200 series routers support multiprotocol, multimedia routing and bridging with a wide variety of protocols and any combination of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), and serial media. Network interfaces reside on port adapters that provide a connection between the routers' three Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) buses and external networks. Port adapters can be placed in any available port adapter slot, in any desired combination.
The front of the Cisco 7200 series routers provides access to an Input/Output (I/O) controller and up to four or six network interface port adapters. The I/O controller has a local console port for connecting a data terminal (or data terminal equipment [DTE]) and an auxiliary port for connecting a modem (or other data communications equipment [DCE]) or other devices for configuring and managing the router; two Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) slots for Flash memory cards; and an optional Fast Ethernet port. The Fast Ethernet port provides a 100-Mbps connection to the network. Figure 1 shows the Cisco 7204; Figure 2 shows the Cisco 7206.
The port adapters installed in the Cisco 7200 series routers are of the same type as those installed on the second-generation Versatile Interface Processors (VIP2s) in the Cisco 7500 series routers, and in Cisco 7000 series routers using the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI). The port adapters installed in the Cisco 7200 series routers support online insertion and removal (OIR).
Port adapter slots in the Cisco 7200 series are numbered from the lower left to the upper right, beginning with port adapter slot 1 and continuing through port adapter slot 4 for the Cisco 7204, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206. Port adapter slot 0 is the optional Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller. Figure 3 shows the port adapter slot numbering for the Cisco 7206.
The rear of the Cisco 7200 series routers provides access to a network processing engine and up to two 280W, AC-input or DC-input power supplies (refer to Figure 4).
The network processing engine has no external connectors or LEDs. There are two handles for removing and installing the network processing engine and two captive installation screws for securing it to the chassis.
A fully configured Cisco 7200 series router operates with only one installed power supply; however, a second, optional power supply of the same type provides hot-swappable, load-sharing, redundant power. The power supply has the router's main power switch and either an AC-input power receptacle, or three hardwired DC-input power leads (depending on the type of installed power supply). Adjacent to the power supply bays there are two chassis grounding receptacles that provide a chassis ground connection for ESD equipment or a grounding wire (refer to Figure 4).
Three internal fans draw cooling air into the chassis interior and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature (refer to Figure 4). The three fans are enclosed in a tray that is located in the subchassis.
The I/O controller, port adapters, power supplies, and network processing engine slide into their respective chassis slots and connect directly to the router's midplane; there are no internal cables to connect. The midplane distributes DC power from the power supplies to the I/O controller, port adapters, fan tray, and network processing engine.
The Cisco 7200 series subchassis, shown in Figure 5, has one slot for the network processing engine, two bays for up to two 280W AC-input or two 280W DC-input power supplies, and one slot for the fan tray. The subchassis also houses the router midplane. To replace the router midplane, you must replace the entire subchassis. The fan tray, network processing engine, and AC-input and DC-input power supplies are field-replaceable units (FRUs), which means they can be replaced independently of the subchassis.
The fan tray, shown in Figure 6, consists of three fans enclosed in a metal case. The fan tray is located on the right side of the router when viewing the router from the rear (refer to Figure 4). The fan tray receives DC-input power through a power harness that connects to the router midplane.
The fan tray draws cooling air in through the intake vent on the right side of the chassis (when viewing the router from the front [the port adapter end]), and moves the air across the internal components and out the exhaust vent on the left side of the chassis. Figure 7 shows the air flow through the router.
The left and right sides of the router must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent overheating inside the router. Maintain at least three inches of clearance on both sides of the router.
This section provides a list of parts and tools you need to remove and replace the subchassis and fan tray in the Cisco 7200 series routers. This section also includes safety and ESD-prevention guidelines to help you avoid injury to yourself and damage to the equipment.
You need the following tools and parts to remove and replace the subchassis and fan tray. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.
Following are safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry. ESD occurs when printed circuit boards are improperly handled and results in complete or intermittent failures.
The I/O controller, network processing engine, and port adapters consist of a printed circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors, and a handle are integral components of the carrier. Handle the I/O controller, network processing engine, and port adapters by their carrier edges and handle; never touch the printed circuit board or connector pins.
Figure 8 shows how to handle the I/O controller and the network processing engine.
Figure 9 shows how to handle a port adapter.
Although the metal carrier helps to protect the printed circuit boards from ESD, wear a preventive antistatic strap whenever handling the I/O controller, network processing engine, or port adapters. Ensure that the strap makes good skin contact and connect the strap's clip to an unpainted chassis surface to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
![]() | Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be within the range of 1 and 10 megohms. |
If your Cisco 7200 series router is installed in a standard 19-inch four-post or Telco rack, cables from other equipment in the rack may obstruct access to the rear of the router. Also, rack power strips or other permanent fixtures may obstruct access to the router. Review the following guidelines to ensure easy access to the rear of the router when it is installed in a rack. If the router is not installed in a rack, or if you already have clear access to the rear of the router, proceed to the following section "Removing and Replacing the Subchassis and Fan Tray."
Use the following guidelines to ensure easy access to the rear of the router when it is installed in a rack:
![]() | Caution Make sure that at least one other person is available to support the front of the router as you slide it out from the rack and, if necessary, to continue to support it while you remove and insert the power supply, network processing engine, or subchassis. |
Removing and replacing the subchassis and fan tray in the Cisco 7200 series routers involves the following tasks:
These tasks are described in detail in the following subsections.

Step 4 Using the same screwdriver, loosen the -48V lead receptacle screw and pull the lead from the connector. Repeat Step 4 for the ground lead.
Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 if a second power supply is installed.
This completes the procedure for powering down the router and disconnecting input power. Proceed to the following section "Removing a Power Supply and the Network Processing Engine."
The following sections explain how to remove an AC-input or DC-input power supply and the network processing engine from a Cisco 7200 series router. The power supply and the network processing engine reside in the subchassis; therefore, you must remove them before you remove the subchassis from the router.
The steps for removing an AC-input and DC-input power supply from a Cisco 7200 series router are the same. The two power supplies share the same dimensions and faceplates, except for the AC-input receptacle on the AC-input power supply and the DC-input lead receptacles on the DC-input power supply. To remove an AC-input or DC-input power supply from a Cisco 7200 series router, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Ensure that the power switch on the power supply is in the OFF (0) position and AC input power is disconnected from the power supply and its power source. (Refer to the section "Powering Down the Router and Disconnecting Input Power" earlier in this document.)
Step 2 Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws on the faceplate of the power supply (refer to Figure 12).
If the router is not installed in a standard four-post or Telco rack, skip to Step 6. If the router is installed in a rack, determine if any permanent rack fixtures, such as a power strip, are obstructing access to the power supply. If a rack fixture is obstructing access to the power supply, proceed to Step 3.
Step 3 Using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the screws that secure the router to the front mounting strips of the rack.
Step 4 Position at least one person in front of the rack to support the front underside of the router.
Step 5 From the rear of the rack, carefully push the front of the router out of the rack until there is enough clearance to remove the power supply.
Step 6 Grasp the power supply handle and pull the power supply from the router.
![]() | Caution To maintain agency compliance requirements and meet EMI emissions standards for the Cisco 7200 series chassis with a single power supply, the power supply filler plate must remain in the power supply adjacent to the installed power supply. Do not remove this filler plate from the router unless you intend to install a redundant power supply. |
Step 7 Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for the other installed AC-input power supply (if present).

Step 4 Plug the AC power supply cable into the AC power source.
Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 if a second power supply is installed.
This completes the steps for reconnecting AC-input power to a Cisco 7200 series router.
To reconnect DC-input power to a Cisco 7200 series router, complete the following steps:
![]() | Warning Before completing any of the following steps, and to prevent short-circuit or shock hazards, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. |
![]() | Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. |
Step 1 Ensure that the -48V and +48V leads are disconnected from the power source.
Step 2 If necessary, use a wire stripper to strip approximately .55 inch (14 mm) from the -48V, +48V, and ground leads (refer to Figure 30).
Step 3 At the rear of the router, check that the power switch on the power supply is in the OFF (0) position (refer to Figure 11).
Step 4 Insert the stripped end of the ground lead all the way into the ground lead receptacle on the DC-input power supply and tighten the receptacle screw using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver (refer to Figure 31).
Step 5 Insert the stripped end of the +48V lead all the way into the +48V lead receptacle and tighten the receptacle screw using the same 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver. Repeat Step 5 for the -48V lead.
Step 6 After tightening the receptacle screw for the ground, +48V, and -48V DC-input leads, use the cable tie you saved earlier in this procedure to secure the three leads to the power supply faceplate.
Step 7 Connect the ground, +48V, and -48V leads to the power source.
Step 8 Repeat Step 1 through Step 7 if a second power supply is installed.
This completes the steps for connecting input power to a Cisco 7200 series router.
To power up a Cisco 7200 series router that has an installed AC-input or DC-input power supply, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Check for the following:
Step 2 At the rear of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the ON (|) position. Repeat this step if a second power supply is installed in the router. The green OK LED on the power supply turns on.
Step 3 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 4 During the boot process, observe the system's LEDs. The LEDs on most of the port adapters go on and off in irregular sequence. Some may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. On the I/O controller, the IO Power OK LED comes on immediately.
Step 5 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the network processing engine begins to initialize the port adapters and the I/O controller. During this initialization, the LEDs on each port adapter behave differently (most flash on and off). The enabled LED on each port adapter goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the following:
This completes the procedures for connecting input power and powering up the router. This also completes the procedure for replacing the subchassis and fan tray in a Cisco 7200 series router.
