This document explains how to remove and replace the subchassis and the midplane 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 the subchassis, and installing the new subchassis in the routers. This document also includes steps for verifying a successful router boot after powering up a Cisco uBR7200 series router.
The router midplane is part of the subchassis. To replace the router midplane, you must replace the entire subchassis. The subchassis and midplanes for the Cisco uBR7246 VXR, the Cisco uBR7246, and the Cisco uBR7223 are not interchangeable.
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 at hand. For additional information on configuring and maintaining the Cisco uBR7200 series, the following documentation resources are available:
The Cisco uBR7246 VXR and Cisco uBR7246 subchassis, shown in Figure 1, has two bays for up to two 550W, AC-input or DC-input power supplies, and one slot for the network processing engine. The Cisco uBR7223 subchassis, shown in Figure 2, has one bay for one 550W, AC-input or DC-input power supply, and one slot for the network processing engine.
Both subchassis also house the router midplane. To replace the router midplane, you must replace the entire subchassis. The network processing engine and power supplies are field-replaceable units (FRUs), which means they can be replaced independently of the subchassis.

You need the following tools and parts to remove and replace the subchassis and midplane assembly. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information. See the "Cisco Connection Online" section for information on contacting a service representative.

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 a 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; never touch the printed circuit board or connector pins.
Figure 3 shows how to handle the I/O controller, network processing engine, and cable modem cards.

Figure 4 shows how to handle a port adapter.

Although the metal carrier helps to protect the printed circuit boards from ESD, wear a preventive antistatic strap whenever handling the I/O controller, network processing engine, 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 metal part of the chassis.
![]() | Caution Make sure to tighten the captive installation screws on the network processing engine, I/O controller, and cable modem cards (use a number 2 Phillips or a 3/16-inch, flat-blade screwdriver). These screws prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the router, and help to ensure that the network processing engine, the I/O controller, and the cable modem cards 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, 4-post or telco-type rack, cables from other equipment in the rack may obstruct access to the rear of the router. Also, rack power strips or other permanent fixtures may 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 following section "Removing and Replacing the Subchassis."
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. |
Removing and replacing the subchassis in the Cisco uBR7200 series involves the following tasks:
These tasks are described in detail in the following subsections.
![]() | 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. |
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.
