Chapter 5 Maintaining Your Cisco 7505 Router

Removing and Replacing the Cisco 7505 Power Supply

The power supply rests on the floor of the chassis under the card cage and backplane. To remove the
power supply, you must remove the chassis access cover at the noninterface processor end of the router,
remove the power harness cover, and disconnect the harness from the backplane receptacle. Always pull
the harness out by the connector, not by the wires. Before removing the power harness cover, ensure that
the system power is turned off; otherwise, the backplane voltages become a hazard.
On the AC receptacle, located on the interface processor end of the AC-input power supply, a
cable-retention clip snaps up and around the modular power cable connector to prevent the cable from
accidentally being pulled out or from falling out. (See
this clip can get snagged on the chassis floor. Before inserting the supply, remove the clip or tape it up
out of the way.
On the DC-input power supply, a nylon cable tie provides the cable strain relief. Replace this strain relief
with a new nylon cable tie after you install the new DC-input power supply. The interface processor end
of the DC-input power supply has a terminal block rather than the AC receptacle. (See
To prevent damage to the harness wires, always pull the connector, not the harness wires, to

The following procedure assumes you already removed the chassis cover panel, the fan tray, the power
harness cover, and the power harness. If not, see the appropriate sections in this chapter. You need a
number 2 Phillips screwdriver and a pair of wire cutters.
Use the following procedure to remove the power supply:
Step 1 Turn off the system power switch.
Before working on the chassis or near power supplies, disconnect the power cable on AC units or

disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.
For the AC-input power supply: Move the cable retention clip away for the power cable and disconnect

the power cable from the AC receptacle.
For the DC-input power supply: Use a wire cutter to cut the nylon cable tie that provides strain relief for
Step 3
the DC power cable. (You must replace this nylon cable tie with a new one after the new power supply
is installed.) Remove the DC-input cable from the terminal block.
Step 4 Attach an ESD-preventive strap (your own or the one supplied with the spare) between you and any
unpainted chassis surface.
