5-2 ISR651103-00 C
To remove a router:
1. Make sure all traffic (I/O operations to the router) subsides at the initiator
systems.
2. Save the configuration data of the router using the CLI FRU command (see
the iSR6152 Router CLI User's Guide).
3. Power down the router.
4. Disconnect the power cable.
5. Label all the cables so you can connect them to the same ports on the
replacement router.
6. Remove all the Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables.
7. Remove the router from the enclosure where it is mounted.
Replacing the Router
Before replacing a router, you must first remove the previously installed router (as
described in the preceding).
To install a replacement router:
1. Mount the router in the enclosure.
2. Reconnect the Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables to the ports where they
were previously connected.
3. Connect the power cable to the router.
4. Using a management station, configure the management port IP address
(see “Configuring the Management Workstation” on page 3-6).
5. Using a management workstation, restore the saved configuration or
reconfigure the router as needed (see the iSR6152 Router CLI User's
Guide).
The replacement router should now be operational.
