Removing a Cisco ASR1000-ESP
To remove the Cisco ASR1000-ESP5, Cisco ASR1000-ESP10, Cisco ASR1000-ESP20, or Cisco
ASR1000-ESP40 from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, follow this procedure:
Step 1
Slip on the ESD-preventive wrist strap that was included in the accessory kit. Loosen the captive screws
on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor.
Using the handles on both sides of the module, with two hands gently slide the Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Step 2
Embedded Services Processor (ESP5, ESP10, ESP20, ESP40) out of the chassis slot.
Note
Place the Cisco ASR1000-ESP module on an antistatic surface with its printed circuit board components
Step 3
facing upward or in a static shielding bag.
You have completed the removal procedure for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services
Processor. from a Cisco ASR1000-ESP.
Replacing the Cisco ASR1000-ESP
To replace the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Router, follow this procedure:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 2
Remove the new Cisco ASR1000-ESP from its static shielding bag.
Step 3
Using both hands, grasp the Cisco ASR1000-ESP by its metal carrier edges and orient the it so that its
printed circuit board components are upward.
Handle the Cisco ASR1000-ESP by the carrier edges and handle only; never touch the printed circuit

If there are two different versions of the Cisco ASR1000-ESP in a router when you reload, the
F0 slot always comes up as Active and the F1 slot comes up as Standby or Disabled, depending
on whether the F1 slot has a later version of the Cisco ASR1000-ESP or an earlier one. A
downgrade from a later version ESP to an earlier version is not supported and that is the reason
the Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 is disabled in this step. To downgrade back to a Cisco
ASR1000-ESP20, you must remove the Cisco ASR1000-ESP40 and reload the router. Similarly,
to downgrade back to a Cisco ASR1000-ESP10 from a Cisco ASR1000-ESP20, you must
remove the Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 and reload the router.
Handle the Cisco ASR1000-ESP5, Cisco ASR1000-ESP10, Cisco ASR1000-ESP20, or Cisco
ASR1000-ESP40 by the carrier edges only; never touch the printed circuit board components or
connector pins.
