Physical Layer Interface Module (PLIM)
You can install a PLIM in any slot not occupied by an RP card. If you install a new MSC or PLIM,
remove the impedance carrier card from the available slot.
Caution
The system may indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or install
only one PLIM at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system to complete the preceding tasks before
removing or installing another PLIM.
Note
We strongly recommend that you use the
shutdown
command before removing a PLIM to prevent
anomalies when you reinstall a new or reconfigured PLIM.
