Steps 1 to 3 are optional. They explain how to use the DISABLE
CARD command to disable the Ethernet line card you are replacing

to start a local management session, refer to “Starting a Local
Management Session” on page 198.
2. At the command prompt, enter the DISABLE CARD command with the
slot number of the card you want to remove. For example, to disable
the Ethernet line card in slot 1, you enter:
disable card=1
3. Log off to end your management session.
4. Label and remove the cables from the Ethernet line card.
5. If the line card has fiber optic transceivers, install dust covers on the
ports.
6. If the line card has transceivers, label and remove the transceivers.

faceplate of the card.
