Removing the Plug-In Motherboard from a Cisco 3845 Router

To access memory modules, AIMs, and PVDMs mounted on the motherboard of a Cisco 3845 router, or
to remove a motherboard to replace it with a new one, follow these steps. You need a number 2 Phillips
screwdriver. You do not need to remove the router from the rack.

It is not necessary to power off the router to remove the motherboard, but the router does not operate
until the motherboard is reinstalled.

Step 1

Using the number 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive thumbscrews, one on each side of the
motherboard. (See

Figure 50

.)

Step 2

Rotate the ejector levers on each side outward, and carefully pull the motherboard straight out of the
router. Place it on an antistatic surface.

Caution

The motherboard is an ESD-sensitive component. To avoid damage, observe all ESD precautions.
