Grasp the handle on either side of the SPA and pull the SPA from the SIP.
Online Insertion and Removal
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers SIPs and SPAs support online insertion and
removal (OIR). SPAs can be inserted or removed independently from the SIP. OIR of a SIP with
installed SPAs is also supported.
For more information about performing OIR, refer to the
“Preparing for Online Removal of a SIP”
.
Optical Device Maintenance
Any contamination of the fiber connection can cause failure of the component or failure of the whole
system. A particle that partially or completely blocks the core generates strong back reflections, which
can cause instability in the laser system. Inspection, cleaning, and reinspection are critical steps to take
before making fiber-optic connections.
Cleaning Optical Devices
See the
Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections

Verifying the Installation
This section describes how to verify the SIP and SPA installation by observing the SIP LED states, SPA
LED states, and the information displayed on the console terminal.
When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the SIP STATUS LED should be green (on) and the SPA
STATUS LEDs should be green (on). The port LEDs (C/A and A/L) may be green (on), depending on
your connections and configuration. The console screen also displays a message as the system discovers
each interface during reinitialization.
Use the following procedure to verify that a SIP and SPA are installed correctly:
