Shutting Down Cisco Unity Express Enhanced Network Modules
Press the Shutdown button on the network module faceplate for less than 2 seconds to perform a graceful
shutdown of the network module before removing power from the router or before starting an online
insertion and removal (OIR) sequence on the router. The application may take up to 2 minutes to fully
shut down.
Caution
If you press the Shutdown button for
more than 4 seconds
, a nongraceful shutdown of the hard disk will
occur and may corrupt files on the network module’s hard disk. After a nongraceful shutdown, the HD
and SYS LEDs remain lit. Press the Shutdown button for
less than 2 seconds
to gracefully reboot the
network module.
Online Insertion and Removal of Cisco Unity Express Enhanced
Network Modules
Some Cisco routers allow you to replace network modules without switching off the router or affecting
the operation of other interfaces. This feature is called
online insertion and removal
(OIR). OIR of a
module provides uninterrupted operation to network users, maintains routing information, and ensures
session preservation.
Caution
Unlike other network modules, Cisco Unity Express enhanced network modules use hard disks.
Online removal of disks without proper shutdown can cause file system corruption and might render
the disk unusable. You must shut down the operating system on the network module in an orderly
way before removing or powering down the module.
Caution
Cisco routers support OIR with similar modules only. If you remove a module, install another module
exactly like it in its place. If you remove a 2-slot module (along with any installed WAN or voice
interface cards), install another module and card combination exactly like it.
For a description of informational and error messages that may appear on the console during this
procedure, see the hardware installation guide for your router.
Caution
If you need to preserve the data on the Cisco Unity Express enhanced network module, or need to
transfer the data to a new Cisco Unity Express enhanced network module, perform a backup of the data
before removing the module, and restore the data after installing the new module. For more information
about backing up and restoring data, see the “Backup and Restore” chapter in the
Cisco Unity Express
