If you are upgrading your router from a GRP to a PRP, you must power off the
router to switch the RP cards. If you are replacing a nonredundant RP, you should

the entire configuration manually for the new RP.
Handle all cards by the metal card carrier edges only; avoid touching the board or
any connector pins. After removing a card, carefully place it in an antistatic bag
