1 Required Tools and Equipment

To install an advanced integration module (AIM) in a Cisco modular router chassis, you need the following tools and equipment:

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver or small flat-blade screwdriver

• 1/4-inch nut driver

• 3/16-inch open-end wrench

• Torx-15 screwdriver (for installation in Cisco 3660 only)

• ESD-preventive wrist strap

• Tape for DC circuit breaker handle

Safety Information

For safety information that you need to know before working on your Cisco router, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied your router and is accessible online on Cisco.com. For information about

accessing this document, see the “Where to Go Next” section on page 13 and the “Obtaining Documentation” section on page 14.

Warning

Caution Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. Always follow ESD prevention

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies or on the interface processors, or by the plastic panels on the front of the chassis. These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

procedures when removing and replacing cards.

2 Opening the Chassis

To install or remove an AIM, you have to open the chassis. There are three different chassis types:

• Chassis of 1 rack unit (RU) height—has separable top and bottom halves (most Cisco 2600 series routers)

• Chassis of 2-RU height with removable cover—has flat cover with separating hinge (some Cisco 2600, Cisco 3600, and

Cisco 3700 series routers)

• Chassis with plug-in CPU/mainboard—all have 2 or more RU height (some Cisco 3600 and Cisco 3700 series routers)

Refer to the procedure that applies to your router. For more detailed instructions, refer to the online AIM installation procedure on cisco.com.

The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:

Warning

Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

The following warning applies to all routers:

Warning

Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Opening a Chassis of 1-RU Height

Perform this procedure with electrical power to the router turned OFF, with network interface cables disconnected, and with the router removed from its mounting rack.

Step 1 Remove the screws from the top of the chassis.

Step 2 Slide the top half of the chassis toward the rear. (See Figure 1.)

Step 3 Separate the top half of the chassis from the bottom half. (See Figure 2.)

Opening a Chassis of 2-RU Height with Removable Cover

Perform this procedure with electrical power to the router turned OFF, with network interface cables disconnected, and with the router removed from its mounting rack.

Step 1 Remove the screws from the top of the cover (typically five or six screws, depending on the router model). Set the screws

aside in a safe place.

Step 2 If your router has a blank cover plate in the upper right network-module slot, and displays the message LOOSEN

SCREW TO REMOVE COVER, loosen the captive screw at the left edge of the blank cover.

Step 3 Lift the cover up to a 45-degree angle, and disengage it from the chassis. (See Figure 3.)

Opening a Chassis with a Plug-In CPU/Mainboard

Perform this procedure with electrical power to the router turned OFF and with network interface cables disconnected.

Warning

Step 1 If your router has a hinged front panel (Cisco 3745, for example), loosen the two captive screws behind the access door

Before removing the system board tray, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is OFF and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

at one edge of the panel; then open the front panel to the straight-out position, and lift it off its hinges. See Figure 4.

If your router does not have a hinged front panel (Cisco 3660, for example), the CPU/mainboard is located at the rear of the chassis, near where the network interface cables are connected. Go to Step 2.

Step 2 Loosen the two captive retention screws on the front of the CPU/mainboard. (See Figure 5.)

Step 3 Rotate the ejector levers to their open position. (See Figure 5.)

Step 4 Pull the tray levers to slide the CPU/mainboard out of the chassis. (See Figure 5).

3 Installing AIMs

Perform the following procedure for each AIM to be installed. To complete this procedure, you need a number 2 Phillips screwdriver or a flat-blade screwdriver (for Cisco 3660 only, a Torx-15 screwdriver), and a 1/4-inch nut driver. For more detailed instructions, refer to the online AIM installation procedure on Cisco.com.

Note Some Cisco routers have one AIM connector (AIM slot 0), and some have two AIM connectors (AIM slot 0 and AIM

slot 1). If there are two AIM slots, you can install one or two compression AIMs, but only one encryption AIM (in either slot).

Note Some AIMs are provided with two mounting kits that contain different standoffs. For a router with a 1-RU chassis, use

the mounting kit that contains a plastic standoff that snaps in at both ends. For all other routers, use the mounting kit that contains a plastic standoff with one threaded end.

Step 1 Locate the AIM connector to be used on the system board. Figure 6 shows the AIM connector locations on a typical

system board in a Cisco router.

Caution To prevent damage to an AIM-CUE, do not install an AIM-CUE in AIM slot 0 of a Cisco 3745 router. You may

install an AIM-CUE in AIM slot 1 of a Cisco 3745 router.
