2. 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.
3. Remove the Routing Engine as described in “Removing an M7i Routing Engine” on

5. Use the needlenose pliers to gently grasp the CompactFlash card and slide it out of
the connector. Place the CompactFlash card on the antistatic mat or in the electrostatic
