Removing an RPE-X1
1) For a device configured with only one RPE-X1, you need to power off the device before
removing the RPE-X1. Online removal of the RPE-X1 may cause damages to the RPE-X1,
FIPs, and HIMs/MIMs.
2) For a device configured with two RPE-X1s, you can remove one of the RSE-X1s when both of
them are operating normally.
To remove the active RPE-X1, you are recommended to use the slave switchover command

to implement manual active/standby switchover in system view of the active RPE-X1. For details
about this command, refer to HA in the System Volume of HP SR6600 Routers User Manual.
