Installing the Routing Engine in a M7i Router
To install the Routing Engine (see Figure 42 on page 143):
1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. Verify that the router is attached to
a proper earth ground.
2. Place one hand under the Routing Engine to support it and grasp the handle on the
faceplate with the other hand.
3. Align the rear of the Routing Engine with the guide rails inside the chassis and slide it
in completely.
CAUTION: Be careful to align the Routing Engine correctly with the guide
rails and push it in evenly. Damage can result if it gets lodged in the rails
because of uneven movement.
