Figure 3: Removing a NIM from a vEdge 5000 Router
Note: To remove a PIM and replace it with a different type of PIM in a PIM slot, you must power down the
router, replace the PIM, and then power the router back again. Also, if there are any transceivers installed in
the PIM, remove them before you remove the PIM. For instructions on removing a transceiver from a vEdge
router, see below.
Caution: Make sure that you do not leave the PIM slot in the front of the chassis empty for a long time while
