Remove RPMs, Line Cards, and SFMs
You can add, replace, or remove redundant modules without interrupting the system power or system
operations. RPMs, line cards, and SFMs are hot-swappable.
To remove RPMs and line cards:
Step Task
1 Determine if the system is operating with line card and RPM redundancy. If the system is operating with only one
RPM or line card, removing either halts traffic processing.
2 Unplug the network interface cables connected to the line card or RPM.
3 Loosen the captive screws and pull the ejector lever(s) towards you to disengage the backplane connections.
