Installing the Cisco ASR 914 Router

Step 4

Tighten the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the interface module. The recommended maximum torque

is 5.5 in.-lb (.62 N-m).

Step 5

Connect all the cables to each interface module.

What to do next

Caution

Do not use interface module and power supply ejector handles to lift the chassis; using the handles to lift the

chassis can deform or damage the handles.

Removing an Interface Module

Procedure

Step 1

To remove an interface module, disconnect all the cables from each interface module.

Step 2

Loosen the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the interface module.

Step 3

Slide the interface module out of the router slot by pulling on the handles. If you are removing a blank filler

plate, pull the blank filler plate completely out of the router slot using the captive screws.

Step 4

If the interface module slot is meant to be empty, then ensure that blank filler plates are installed in the

respective slots.

Hot-Swapping an Interface Module

The Cisco ASR 914 Router provides a feature that allows you to remove and replace an interface module

without powering down the router. This feature, called hot-swapping or OIR, allows you to remove and replace

a redundant module without disrupting router operation.

The Cisco ASR 914 Router does not support hot-swapping an interface module with another module of a

different type. For example, you cannot swap an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module with a copper Gigabit Ethernet

module without disrupting router operation.

• If the TDM interface module is swapped with the Gigabit Ethernet module in the same slot or vice-versa,

If you perform OIR on an interface module and move the module to a different slot, the router does not retain

the module configuration; you must reconfigure the interface module.

Replacing a configured interface module with a different interface module in the same slot is not supported

on the router.

Note

Always refer to Interface Module compatibility matrix tables in the Data Sheet before you swap any IM.

the router must be reloaded.
