Online Insertion and Removal
The Cisco uBR10012 router supports online insertion and removal (OIR) of the SPA interface processor (SIP)
and of the shared port adapters (SPAs). Therefore, you can remove a SIP with its SPAs still intact, or you can
remove a SPA independently from the SIP, leaving the SIP installed in the router.
Important
Note
If the SIP is running normally in chassis, SPA cards can be installed and removed directly from SIP without
installing SIP.
Preparing for Online Removal of a SPA
See "Preparing for Online Removal of a SPA" section in the
SIP and SPA Software Configuration
If you are replacing the SPA after a duration of three months, perform a field upgrade of the SPA. Do not
perform an OIR. For more information on field upgrade, see
