Removing an Interface Module
Procedure
Step 1
To remove an interface module, disconnect all the cables from each interface module.
Step 2
Loosen the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the interface module.
Step 3
Slide the interface module out of the router slot by pulling on the handles. If you are removing a blank filler
plate, pull the blank filler plate completely out of the router slot using the captive screws.
Hot-Swapping an Interface Module
The Cisco ASR 907 Router provides a feature that allows you to remove and replace an interface module
without powering down the router. This feature, called hot-swapping or OIR, allows you to remove and replace
a redundant module without disrupting router operation.
The Cisco ASR 907 Router does not support hot-swapping an interface module with another module of a
different type. For example, you cannot swap an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module with a copper Gigabit Ethernet
module without disrupting router operation.
Note
If the TDM interface module is swapped with the Gigabit Ethernet module in the same slot or vice-versa, the
router must be reloaded.
Note
If you perform OIR on an interface module and move the module to a different slot, the router does not retain
the module configuration; you must reconfigure the interface module. Replacing a configured interface module
with a different interface module in the same slot is not supported on the router.
Note
Always refer to the interface module compatibility matrix tables in the Data Sheet before you swap any IM.
