Removing Components from the MX2020 Router Chassis Before Installing it in a Rack

Before installing the router with a router transport kit, you must first remove shipping covers and components from the chassis. With components removed, the chassis weighs approximately 429.6 lb (194.86 kg).

CAUTION:

The shipping covers help guide the chassis into the rack. Applying force to any other part of the chassis can cause damage.

Removing the Power Distribution Modules Before Installing an MX2020 Router

Remove the topmost PDM (PDM3/Input1) first, and then work your way downward. To remove an AC, DC, 240 V China, or universal (HVAC/HVDC) PDM (see Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4).

  1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
  2. On an AC-powered router, move the AC circuit breaker from the power source to the off (O) position. On a DC-powered router, move the DC circuit breaker from the power source to the off O position.

    We recommend this precaution even though the PDMs are not connected to power sources.

  3. Loosen the two captive screws on the PDM faceplate. Pull the two spring-loaded locking levers away from the chassis until it stops.
    Note:

    PDM3/Input1 and PDM1/Input1 locking levers are pulled down to release from chassis, and PDM0/Input0 and PDM2/Input0 locking levers are pulled up to release from chassis.

    The PDM is extended slightly away from the chassis.

  4. With both hands, grasp the two handles and gently pull the PDM straight out of the chassis.
    CAUTION:

    Do not touch the power connector in the back of the PDM. They can get damaged.

    CAUTION:

    Do not stack PDMs on one another after you remove them. Place each component on an antistatic mat resting on a stable, flat surface.

Removing the Power Supply Modules Before Installing an MX2020 Router

To remove the AC, DC, 240 V China, universal (HVAC/HVDC) PSMs (see Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8):

  1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
  2. On an AC-powered router, move the AC power switch on each PSM to the off (O) position. On a DC-powered router, move the DC power switch on each PSM to the off (O) position.

    We recommend this precaution even though the PSMs are not connected to power sources.

  3. Loosen the two captive screws that secure the PSM to the chassis. While grasping the handle on the PSM faceplate with one hand, use your other hand to guide the PSM.
  4. Pull the PSM straight out of the chassis.
    CAUTION:

    Do not touch the power connector on the back of the PSM. It can get damaged.

    CAUTION:

    Do not stack PSMs on one another after you remove them. Place each component on an antistatic mat resting on a stable, flat surface.

Removing the Fan Trays Before Installing an MX2020 Router

To remove the upper and lower fan tray (see Figure 9 and Figure 10):

Note:

The fan trays are interchangeable and are hot-insertable and hot-removable.

  1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
  2. Loosen the two captive screws on each side of the fan tray access panel and open.
  3. Loosen the two captive screws on the fan tray faceplate.
  4. Press and hold the latch while simultaneously pulling the fan tray out approximately 1 to 3 in. Place one hand under the fan tray for support, while pulling the fan tray completely out of the router.
    Warning:

    The fan trays use a double latch safety mechanism. You must continually press and hold the latch while removing the fan trays.

  5. Place each component on an antistatic mat resting on a stable, flat surface.
    CAUTION:

    Do not stack fan trays on one another after you remove them.
