Chapter 7 Removing and Replacing FRUs from the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router
Removing and Replacing an SSD from the NIM-SSD Module
Removing and Replacing an SSD from the NIM-SSD Module
This section explains how to remove a solid state drive (SSD) from the NIM-SSD module.
Caution The Cisco 4400 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR) that support NIM-SSD and the Cisco ASR
1000 Series Aggregated Services Routers that support NIM-SSD do not utilize the NIM in the same
format.
Caution The NIM-SSD module of the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router recognizes both hard drives as one partition.
For example, two 200 GB hard drives are treated as one 400 GB hard drive. Since there is no data backup
capability in the NIM-SSD module, replacing any SSD will cause complete data loss. Ensure that you
clean up and back up all important data before replacing any SSD.
Restrictions
• The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router does not support dynamic removal and shutdown of SSD drives
while the NIM-SSD module is still powered on. Such ungraceful actions may cause disk corruption
and you will see kernel messages indicating that the module did not shutdown gracefully. Power
down the NIM-SSD module and wait for the power LED to turn off before removing and replacing
the SSD.
• Cisco SSD Carrier Card NIM without SSD drives is not supported.
Removing an SSD from the NIM-SSD Module
To remove an SSD from the NIM-SSD module, follow these steps:
Step 1 Access the NIM-SSD slot.
Step 2 Stop the SSD module using the following steps:
a. At the router# prompt, enter hw-module subslot 0/2 stop and press Enter.
b. At the router# prompt, enter end and press Enter.
Step 3 Unscrew the captive installation screws on either side of the NIM-SSD to remove the front faceplate of
the NIM, as shown in Figure 7-15.
