Cisco UCS E-Series Server Module Hardware Installation Tasks

Step 1 Connect the wrist strap clip to an unpainted portion of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD

voltages to ground.

Step 2 Turn off power to the router.

Note Alternatively, the Cisco 3900 series routers support OI R for similar server modules and network

modules. (See the “Online Insertion and Removal on a Cisco ISR G2 Router” section on

page 22)

Step 3 Remove blank faceplates from the slots you plan to use. (See the “Removing Blank Faceplates from

Cisco ISR G2 Routers” section on page 18)

Step 4 Install the E-Series Servers. (See the “Installing the E-Series Servers” section on page 20)

Note Be sure to install a blank faceplate on the other side of the slot when installing a single-wide

E-Series Server. (See the “Installing Blank Faceplates on Cisco ISR G2 Routers” section on

page 18)

Installing and Removing Blank Faceplates

All empty chassis slots on the Cisco ISR G2 router must be covered with blank faceplates to ensure

proper cooling airflow and to prevent electromagnetic interference.

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to

hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)

that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not

operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Preparing to Install Blank Service Module Faceplates on a Double-Wide Slot

To install a faceplate on a Cisco ISR G2 Router service module (SM) slot, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Install a slot divider in the SM slot. (See the “Installing Slot Dividers” section on page 19)

Step 2 Install one blank faceplate over each slot. (See the “Installing Blank Faceplates on Cisco ISR G2

Routers” section on page 18)
