Removing and Replacing Memory SIMMs and the Boot ROM
Removing the Input/Output Controller
To remove an I/O controller from a Cisco 7200 series router, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Power down the router and disconnect the input power cable. Refer to the section
“Powering Down the Router and Disconnecting Input Power” earlier in this document.
Step 2 Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 3 Disconnect the cables from the I/O controller’s console, auxiliary, and Fast Ethernet (if
present) ports (refer to Figure 11).

Step 4
Remove the Flash memory cards (if present) from the I/O controller’s PCMCIA slots.
Refer to the section “Installing and Removing a Flash Memory Card” later in this
document.
Step 5 Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive installation screws on the
faceplate of the I/O controller (refer to Figure 11).
Step 6 Grasp the I/O controller handle and carefully pull the controller from its chassis slot.
Caution Handle the I/O controller by the carrier edges and handle only; never touch the printed
circuit board components or connector pins (refer to Figure 8).
Step 7 Place the I/O controller on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward, or in
a static shielding bag. If you are returning the I/O controller to the factory, immediately
place it in a static shielding bag.
This completes the procedure for removing the I/O controller. Proceed to the section “Removing the
Network Processing Engine.”
