Replacing the Power Supply

Removing the Existing Power Supply

To remove a power supply from a Cisco 2811 router, perform the following steps.

Caution

Do not disconnect the flat ribbon cable (shown in

Figure 33

). The cable is of adequate length to perform

the power supply replacement procedure. Removing the flat ribbon cable without the proper tools may
cause damage to components in the router.

Step 1

Disconnect the power output cable connector (or connectors—see note below) from the power supply.
Power supply connectors have a locking feature on the power supply end that you must release. Do not
disconnect any power cables from the system board.

Note

The AC-input power supply in a Cisco 2811 router uses only one power output cable. The
DC-input power supply and the ILP supply each use two power output cables that must be
disconnected. On the ILP supply, the ILP cable is also hooked to cable guides on the power
supply and the chassis, so it must be both disconnected and unhooked from the power supply.

Step 2

Remove the air duct by squeezing it gently at the bottom and lifting it straight up. See

Figure 33

. Note

that there are four snaps on the air duct, two on each side. By squeezing the air duct, the snaps are
released from the sheet metal retainers in the chassis that capture them.
