Removal and Replacement Procedures
Removing and Installing PEMs
To remove a DC-input PEM, follow these steps:
Step 1
Verify that power is off to the DC circuit for the PEM that you are removing. As an added precaution,
place the appropriate safety flag and lockout devices at the source power circuit breaker, or place a piece
of adhesive tape over the circuit breaker handle to prevent accidental power restoration while you are
working on the circuit.
Step 2 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the PEM. (See Figure 4-59.)
Step 3
Step 4
Slide the PEM part way out of the chassis so that you have access to the PEM terminal block screws.
(See Figure 4-60.)
Disconnect the DC-input wires from the PEM terminal block in this order:
1. Positive (+)
2. Negative (–)
Note
It is not necessary to disconnect the system ground connection.
Step 5 Grasp the PEM with one hand, and place your other hand underneath the PEM, as shown in Figure 4-61,
and slide the PEM completely out of the chassis. Set the PEM aside.
Step 6 If the PEM bay is to remain empty, install a blank PEM filler plate (Cisco part number 800-16719-01)
over the opening, and secure it in place with the two captive installation screws.
