Physical Card Reseating, Resetting, and Replacement
This section gives instructions for physically reseating and replacing control cards and traffic cards.
Do not physically replace a card without first making provisions to switch or move traffic to a different card
or circuit. General procedures for this are located in the
Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing,
section.
Caution
Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) the Standby Control Card
Before you reset the control card, you should wait at least 60 seconds after the last provisioning change you
made to avoid losing any changes to the database.
When a standby control card is removed and reinserted (reseated), all three fan lights could momentarily turn
on, indicating that the fans have also reset.
Note
Before you begin
High-performance devices on this card can get hot during operation. To remove the card, hold it by
the faceplate and bottom edge. Allow the card to cool before touching any other part of it or before
placing it in an antistatic bag.
