Handling a Port Adapter
Online Insertion and Removal
Several platforms support online insertion and removal (OIR) of port adapters; therefore, you do not
have to power down routers when removing and replacing a multichannel DS1/PRI on Cisco 7100 series
routers, Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco uBR7200 series routers, Cisco 7301 routers, or Cisco 7401ASR
routers.

routers, Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco uBR7200 series routers, Cisco 7301 routers, or Cisco 7401ASR
routers.
Although the VIP, Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, and Cisco 7304 PCI
Port Adapter Carrier Card support online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To
replace port adapters, you must first remove the VIP, Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Catalyst 6000 family
FlexWAN module, or Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card from the router and then install or
replace port adapters as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the VIP, Catalyst RSM/VIP2,
Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, or Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card on which you
want to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the VIP, Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Catalyst 6000
family FlexWAN module, or Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card from the router and then remove
the blank port adapter.

It is wise to gracefully shut down the system before removing a port adapter that has active traffic
moving through it. Removing a module while traffic is flowing through the ports can cause system
disruption. Once the module is inserted, the ports can be brought back up.

Note
As you disengage the module from the router or switch, online insertion and removal (OIR)
administratively shuts down all active interfaces in the module.
