Basic Guidelines

Note If you have difficulty installing a processing engine or I/O controller in the lowest slot of a Cisco 7200

VXR router that is rack-mounted, remove the port adapters, processing engine and I/O controller from

the chassis and reinstall them. Install the processing engine and I/O controller in the lowest slots first,

then populate the slots above them, in a bottom-to-top order.

Please keep the following guidelines in mind when installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2:

Step 1 Ensure that the router is powered down and the input power cable is disconnected from the router and

the power source. See the “Powering Down the Router and Disconnecting Input Power” section on

page 7-8.

Step 2 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 3 Remove the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 from its static shielding bag.

Step 4 Whenever you are touching the NPE-G1, use both hands, grasp the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 by its metal

carrier edges, and orient it so that its printed circuit board components face upward.

Caution Handle the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 by the carrier edges and handle only; never touch the printed circuit

board components or connector pins.
