Before replacing the card, you must perform a graceful shutdown of the card to avoid disk corruption.
Note
Step 1 Open the packaging for the new RP card, inspect the card for damage, and verify that the card is the same type as the
other RP card installed in the chassis.
If the card is damaged, alert the Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
Step 2 If you are installing the card in an empty slot, remove the blank card that is already in that slot by unscrewing its captive
screw and pulling it out of the slot. Go to Step 4.
Step 3 If you are replacing a card that is currently in the chassis, remove the existing card from the chassis by following these
steps:
a) Disconnect the following cables from the card:
• Console cable
• Ethernet Management cable
b) If there are any external drives attached to the card through its USB ports, detach those drives.
c) Run the hw-module location <loc> shutdown command in admin EXEC mode, which gracefully shuts down RP
module to prevent any of the file systems from being corrupted.
d) Verify that the RP LED for the slot that you specified turns off. Also, you can verify that the card is in powered off
state running the show platform command to verify the status of the card to be POWERED_OFF.
e) Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on either side of the RP.
