Removing Modules
Once a module is removed, all the features associated with the module are hidden or disabled in the operating
system.
To remove a module, do the following:
1. Make sure power to the device has been disconnected and wait approximately two minutes for any
remaining energy to dissipate.
2. If the device is installed in a rack, remove it from the rack.
3. Loosen the screws that secure the module to the chassis.
4. Pull the module from the chassis to disconnect it.
