Guidelines for Interface Processor Removal and Installation
This section describes the mechanical functions of system components and emphasizes the
importance of following correct procedures to avoid unnecessary board failures. Specific procedures
follow these general background and safety guidelines in the section "Interface Processor
Replacement Procedures" on page 19.
You can remove and replace interface processors while the system is operating; you do not need to
notify the software or reset the system power. This functionality allows you to add, remove, or
replace interface processors with the system online, which provides a method that is seamless to end
users on the network, maintains all routing information, and ensures session preservation.
After an interface processor is reinstalled, the system brings on line only interfaces that match the
current configuration and were previously configured as up; all others require that you configure
them with the configure command. (For AIP configuration information, refer to the section
"Configuring the AIP" on page 32.)
Caution
Remove or insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system to
complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another interface processor. Disrupting
the sequence before the system completes its verification can cause the system to interpret hardware
failures.
