Install vEdge 2000 Router Components
The vEdge 2000 router is a stiff sheet-metal structure that houses various hardware components. Some of
these hardware components are field-replaceable units (FRUs) including:
• Power supplies
• Fan trays
• Pluggable Interface Modules (PIMs)
• SFP and SFP+ transceivers
This article provides step-by-step procedures for installing these router components. For instructions on
removing the components, see Remove Router Components.
Caution: Before you install any components in the router chassis, make sure that you understand how to
prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. See General Safety Standards .
Note: Before you install any components in the router chassis, ensure that you have an ESD grounding strap
and a number 2 Phillips (+) screwdriver.
Install an AC Power Supply in a vEdge 2000 Router
The AC power supply in a vEdge 2000 router is a hot-insertable and hot-removable field replacement unit
(FRU). You can remove and replace the power supply without powering off the router or disrupting normal
functioning.
To install an AC power supply in a router:
1. Check the model number and ensure that you have the correct power supply.
2. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist. Then connect the strap to the ESD point on the rack.
