Removing and Replacing AC or DC Power System Components

Power Module Replacement Guidelines

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router support online insertion and removal (OIR) for power modules. If
you are replacing a redundant power module, you can remove and install the power module while the
system remains powered on without causing an electrical hazard or damage to the system. This feature
enables you to replace a power module while the system maintains all routing information and ensures
session preservation.
However, to maintain operational redundancy and proper cooling, and to meet EMI compliance
standards, you must have at least one working power module installed (more than one for a fully
configured system). When you remove a failed power module with the router in operation, perform the
replacement as soon as possible. Make sure you have the replacement power module ready before
beginning the removal and installation procedure.
