• Execute the do show platform command to verify that the MPA to be removed is in the disabled
state.
• Physically remove the MPA to be replaced.
• Physically insert the replacement MPA
• Return the MPA to the up state with the no hw-module subslot rack/slot/subslot shutdown
command.
• Hard OIR
Hard OIR is the physical online insertion and removal of modular port adapters (MPAs) without software
commands. There are three types of hard OIR supported:
• If the bay is empty when the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router MLC boots, you can do the following:
• Insert a 20GE MPA
• Remove and then insert a replacement 20GE MPA
• Insert a 4 10-GE MPA
• Remove and then insert a replacement 4 10GE MPA
• If the MLC boots with a 20GE MPA in the bay you can remove and then insert a replacement 20GE
MPA or a replacement 4 10GE MPA
• If the MLC boots with a 4 10GE MPA in the bay you can remove and then insert a replacement 4
10GE MPA a or replacement 20GE MPA
Cisco recommends waiting for at least 2 minutes before doing successive MPA OIRs (Soft OIR or Hard OIR).
An empty bay during the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router MLC bootup will default to 20GE MPA mode.
Note
Modular Port Adapter Installation and Removal
This section provides step-by-step instructions for removing and installing a modular port adapter (MPA) in
a modular line card (MLC).
After you remove the MPA from the slot, wait for 60 seconds before you reinsert the MPA.
Note
After you unscrew both ejector screws, wait for 15 seconds before removing MPA from the slot.
Note
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
