1.12.2 Card Replacement

1.12.2 Card Replacement

To replace an ONS 15454 SDH card with another card of the same type, you do not need to make any
changes to the database; remove the old card and replace it with a new card. To replace a card with a card
of a different type, physically remove the card and replace it with the new card, then delete the original
card from CTC. For specifics, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 S DH Procedure Guide.
Caution Removing any active card from the ONS 15454 SDH can result in traffic interruption. Use caution when
replacing cards and verify that only inactive or standby cards are being replaced. If the active card needs
to be replaced, switch it to standby prior to removing the card from the node. For traffic switching
procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.
Note An improper removal (IMPROPRMVL) alarm is raised whenever a card pull (reseat) is performed,
unless the card is deleted in CTC first. The alarm clears after the card replacement is complete.
Note In a subnetwork connection protection (SNCP), pulling the active XC10G without a lockout causes
SNCP circuits to switch.
