Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

The instructions in this section describe how delete a generic QAM that is carrying no sessions. 

Before you delete a generic QAM, first tear down all of the sessions associated with the modulator. If you delete
a modulator without first tearing down its related sessions, system performance may be degraded. Performance
degrades because the DNCS uses its resources attempting to associate sessions with a modulator that no longer
exists. See 

 to learn how to tear down sessions.

In addition, you must have your network map available.
