Note
Steps 1 to 3 are optional. They explain how to use the DISABLE
CARD command to disable the Ethernet line card you are replacing
so that the controller card does not generate an alarm when you
remove the card.
1. Start a management session on the chassis. For instructions on how
to start a local management session, refer to "Starting a Local
Management Session" on page 212.
2. At the command prompt, enter the DISABLE CARD command with the
slot number of the card you want to remove. For example, to disable
the Ethernet line card in slot 1, you enter:
disable card=1
3. Log off to end your management session.
4. Label and remove the cables from the Ethernet line card.
5. If the line card has fiber optic transceivers, install dust covers on the
ports.
6. If the line card has transceivers, remove and label the transceivers.
7. Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the
faceplate of the card.
