PCIe Assembly

Figure 15 shows the PCIe Assembly, which consists of a PCIe card, a flex assembly which connects the

PCIe slot to the motherboard, and a plastic bracket which slides over the end of the PCIe card.

Removing the PCIe Assembly

Follow these steps to remove the PCIe Assembly:

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.

The Cisco 3900 series routers support OIR. (See the “Online Insertion and Removal on a Cisco ISR G2

Router” section on page 22).

Step 3 Using either a number 1 Phillips screwdriver or a small flat-blade screwdriver, unscrew the captive

screws on the faceplate. Loosen the cover faceplate and remove it. See Figure 16. Save the screws.
