Note CTC provides the user approximately 15 seconds to physically remove the card before it begins
rebooting the card.
• A card is inserted into a slot but is not fully plugged into the backplane.
• A PPM (SFP) is provisioned but the physical module is not inserted into the port.
• Electrical issues such as short circuit or failure of DC-DC conversion.
