Before servicing the power supply, switch off the circuit breaker in your equipment area. As an additional precaution,
tape the circuit-breaker switch in the Off position.

Slip on the ESD-preventive wrist strap that was included in the accessory kit.
Step 3
Switch the power supply circuit-breaker switch to the Off (O) position.
Step 4
Pull the terminal block plug connector out of the terminal block head in the power supply.
Step 5
Loosen the captive screws on the DC power supply.
Step 6
Grasping the power supply handle with one hand, pull the power supply out from the chassis while supporting it with
the other hand.

Connecting the Cisco NCS 4216 Router to the Network
The sections describe how to connect cables on the Cisco NCS 4216.
When installing the cabling to the RSPs, we recommend that you leave a service loop of extra cabling
Note
sufficient to allow for fan tray removal.
Connecting Console Cables
The sections describe how to connect to the Cisco NCS 4216 using console cables.
You cannot use the USB and RS232 console ports at the same time; if you insert the USB cable into the
Note
router, the RS232 port is disabled.
Connecting to the Serial Port using Microsoft Windows
This procedure shows how to connect to the serial port using Microsoft Windows.
Install the USB device driver before establishing a physical connection between the router and the PC,
Note
by using the USB Console cable plugged into the USB serial port. Otherwise, the connection will fail.
