Online insertion and removal (OIR) is supported, enabling you to remove and install PLIMs, SIPs,
and SPAs while the router is running. OIR is seamless to users on the network, maintains all routing
information, and ensures session preservation. Notifying the software or resetting the power is not
required. However, you have the option of using the shutdown command before removing a card.
Each PLIM or SIP and its corresponding Forwarding Processor 40G (FP40) function as a pair. If
either card is removed, the other card is essentially powered down (although the router can still
identify and inventory the cards).
PLIM or SIP is attached to the chassis by a pair of ejector levers and captive screws. The two ejector
levers are used to release the PLIM or SIP from its midplane connector. The ejector levers and
captive screws are located on the upper and bottom ends of the faceplate of the card (see
