Interface Processor Replacement Procedures
Interface Processor Replacement Procedures
Typically, your interface processors arrive preinstalled in your Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500
series routers (with the exception of the Cisco 7513); however, occasionally you might have to
remove and replace interface processors for maintenance.
The following sections describe the procedures for removing or installing an interface processor.
(Refer the section "Guidelines for Interface Processor Removal and Installation" before removing
an interface processor while power to the system is on.)
Caution
To avoid erroneous failure messages, remove or insert only one interface processor at a
time. Also, after inserting or removing an interface processor, allow at least 15 seconds before
removing or inserting another interface processor so that the system can reinitialize and note the
current configuration of all interfaces.
Note
If you install or remove other interface processors in a Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series
router with a CT3IP installed, you might have to reboot the system after the removal and replacement
of that interface processor. (In general, and to prevent system problems, we recommend you follow
the procedures described in this section and the guidelines described in the preceding section
"Guidelines for Interface Processor Removal and Installation.")
