Installing and Removing a NIM
These are the steps to install a NIM:
• Locate the NIM slot on the front panel.
• Loosen the screws to open the slot cover.
• Insert the NIM into the slot.
• Tighten the screws to secure the NIM in the slot.
These are the steps to remove a NIM:
• If the NIM is up and running, issue the following command to shut down the NIM gracefully before
removing it:
hw-module subslot slot 0/2 stop
If you do not shut down the NIM gracefully before removing it, the NIM card
could get damaged.
Caution
• Locate the NIM slot on the front panel.
• Loosen the screws that secure the NIM.
• Gently pull out the NIM from the slot.
ENCS supports hot swap or OIR (Online Insertion and Removal) for NIM. So, you can insert and remove the
NIM when ENCS is running; however, before removing the NIM, ensure that the NIM is shut down gracefully.
