This document explains how to remove and replace the 550-watt (W) AC-input power supply in the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers (which consist of the Cisco uBR7246 VXR, Cisco uBR7246, and the Cisco uBR7223). It includes instructions for powering down the routers, removing an installed power supply, and installing a new power supply. This document also includes steps for verifying the initialization of the system after you power up a Cisco uBR7200 series router.
The following sections are included in this document:
The Cisco IOS software running on your router contains extensive features and functionality. The effective use of many of these features is easier if you have more information. For additional information on configuring and maintaining the Cisco uBR7200 series, the following documentation resources are available:
A fully configured Cisco uBR7200 series router arrives equipped with one 550W, AC-input power supply. For the Cisco uBR7246 VXR or Cisco uBR7246, an optional, second AC-input power supply can be ordered. The Cisco uBR7200 series operates with one installed power supply; however, the second power supply installed in a Cisco uBR7246 VXR or Cisco uBR7246 provides hot-swappable, load-sharing redundant power.
The faceplate of the 550W AC-input power supply has a green OK LED, a power switch, a handle for removing, installing, and handling the power supply, an AC-input power receptacle, and two captive installation screws. (See Figure 1.)

The power supply handle provides a grip point for pulling the power supply out of the router. (See Figure 2.) The two captive installation screws secure the power supply in the router. A modular power cable connects the AC-input power supply to the site AC power source.
A cable-retention clip on the power supply secures the cable in the power supply and provides strain relief for the power cable. The power switch turns the power supply on and starts the system.

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry. ESD occurs when printed circuit boards are improperly handled and results in complete or intermittent failures.
The I/O controller, network processing engine, cable modem cards, and port adapters consist of a printed circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors, and handle are integral components of the carrier. Handle the I/O controller, network processing engine, cable modem cards, and port adapters by their carrier edges and handle only; never touch the printed circuit board components or connector pins.
Although the metal carrier helps to protect the printed circuit boards from ESD, wear a preventive antistatic strap whenever handling the network processing engine, I/O controller, cable modem cards, or port adapters. Ensure that the strap makes good skin contact, and connect the strap's clip to an unpainted chassis surface to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal part of the chassis.
![]() | Caution Make sure to tighten the captive installation screws on the network processing engine, cable modem cards, and I/O controller (use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver). These screws prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the router, and help to ensure that the network processing engine, cable modem cards, and I/O controller are properly seated in the router midplane. |
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
![]() | Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be within the range of 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm). |
If your Cisco uBR7200 series router is installed in a standard 19-inch-wide, 4-post equipment rack or telco-type equipment rack, cables from other equipment in the rack might obstruct access to the rear of the router. Also, rack power strips or other permanent fixtures might obstruct access to the router. Review the following guidelines to ensure easy access to the rear of the router when it is installed in a rack. If the router is not installed in a rack, or if you already have clear access to the rear of the router, proceed to the "Removing and Replacing an AC-Input Power Supply" section.
Use the following guidelines to ensure easy access to the rear of the router when it is installed in a rack:
![]() | Caution Make sure that at least one other person is available to support the front of the router as you slide it out from the rack and, if necessary, to continue to support it while you remove and insert the power supply, network processing engine, or subchassis. |
The following sections explain how to remove and replace an AC-input power supply in a Cisco uBR7200 series router for a single power supply configuration and a dual power supply configuration.
![]() | Caution When the input power to a Cisco uBR7200 series power supply is disconnected or lost, the power supply will enter a reset cycle for 90 seconds. Wait at least 90 seconds or move the power switch from one position to the other to restart the power supply. For example, if the power supply was ON when the power was disconnected or lost, move the power switch to the OFF position then back to the ON position. If you do not wait the full 90 seconds or move the power switch from one position to the other, the power supply will not restart. |
Removing and replacing the AC-input power supply in a single power supply configuration involves the following tasks:
These tasks are described in detail in the following subsections.
Step 1 Facing the rear of the router, place the power switch (on the power supply) in the OFF (0) position. Repeat this action if a second power supply is installed in the router.
Step 2 Observe the following items:

Step 1 Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws on the faceplate of the power supply. (See Figure 3.)
If the router is not installed in a standard 4-post or telco rack, skip to Step 5. If the router is installed in a rack, determine if any permanent rack fixtures, such as a power strip, are obstructing access to the power supply. If a rack fixture is obstructing access to the power supply, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2 Using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the screws that secure the router to the front mounting strips of the rack.
Step 3 Position at least one person in front of the rack to support the front underside of the router.
Step 4 From the rear of the rack, carefully push the front of the router out of the rack until there is enough clearance to remove the power supply.
Step 5 Grasp the power supply handle and pull the AC-input power supply from the router.
![]() | Caution To maintain agency compliance requirements and meet EMI emissions standards for the Cisco uBR7246 VXR and Cisco uBR7246 with a single power supply, the power supply filler plate and its attached air dam must remain in the power supply adjacent to the installed power supply. Do not remove this filler plate or the attached air dam from the router unless you intend to install a redundant power supply. |
This completes the procedure for removing the AC-input power supply from a Cisco uBR7200 series router. Proceed to the following section "Installing the AC-Input Power Supply."
Step 1 Make sure the power switch on the power supply is in the OFF (0) position.
Step 2 Grasp the power supply handle with one hand and place your other hand underneath the power supply for support. (See Figure 4.)

Step 3 Align the power supply to the power supply bay.
Step 4 Slide the power supply completely in to the power supply bay until its faceplate is flush with the router's rear panel.
![]() | Caution When inserting a power supply into the router, do not use unnecessary force; slamming the power supply into the bay can damage the connectors on the rear of the supply and on the midplane. |
Step 5 Seat the power supply in the router by tightening the captive screws with a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Step 6 If there is no second power supply, replace the filler plate and its attached air dam on the empty power supply bay. Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the filler plate's captive screws.
Step 7 If you pushed the router from the rack, slowly guide the router back into the rack.
Step 8 Use a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws that secure the router to the front mounting strips of the rack.

Step 1 Check for the following:
Step 2 At the rear of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the ON (|) position. Repeat this step if a second power supply is installed in the router. The green OK LED on the power supply goes on.
Step 3 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 4 During the boot process, observe the system's LEDs. The LEDs on most of the port adapters and cable modem cards go on and off randomly. Some might go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. On the I/O controller, the IO Power OK LED goes on immediately.
Step 5 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (after a few seconds), the network processing engine begins to initialize the port adapters and the I/O controller. During this initialization, the LEDs on each port adapter behave differently (most flash on and off). The enabled LED on each port adapter goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the following:
