Installing and Removing AIMs
Step 3 Carefully lift the AIM free from the connector and the plastic standoff. Keep the AIM parallel with the
system board to prevent damage to the connector and plastic standoff.
Step 4 Place the AIM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Installing an AIM
To install an AIM, perform the following procedure. To complete this procedure, you need a number 2
Phillips screwdriver or flat-blade screwdriver, and a 1/4-inch nut driver or wrench.
Note Some AIMs are provided with two mounting kits that contain different standoffs. For a Cisco 2800 series
router, use the mounting kit that contains a plastic standoff with a threaded end.
Installing an AIM in a Cisco 2801 Router
The Cisco 2801 router has two AIM connectors—AIM slot 0 and AIM slot 1. To install these AIMs,
follow the procedures given here.
Accessory Kit to Use
Some AIMs are provided with multiple accessory kits that contain different configurations of mounting
hardware. The mounting hardware required to install an AIM in the Cisco 2801 router consists of two
machine-thread metal standoffs, two machine-thread metal screws, and one plastic standoff with a snap
fit on both ends. All these components are included in mounting kit 69-1316-01. Some AIMs, however,
are shipped with multiple, different mounting kits. If this is the case, use the plastic standoff with a snap
fit on both ends from mounting kit 69-0900-01 and the two machine-threaded metal standoffs and two
metal screws found in mounting kit 69-0899-01.
Installation Procedure
To install the AIM, perform the following steps. You need a number 2 Phillips screwdriver or flat-blade
screwdriver to complete this procedure.
Step 1 Find the metal standoff attachment locations on the system board near the AIM connector, indicated by
a star pattern. Figure 18 shows the four metal standoff locations on the system board.
