Cisco 3845 OIR(Hot swap)

[Kishore Chennupati]

Hi All,

Just wondering if the 3845 supports OIR ( hot swap). I am looking at a link which says

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/3800/hardware/installation/guide/38netmod.html#wp1008236

Caution The  Cisco 3845 and 3845-NOVPN router supports OIR with similar modules  only. If you remove a network module, along with any installed WAN or  voice interface cards, install another module and card combination  exactly like it.

---

Caution Cisco 3800  series routers do not support OIR (hot swap) of interface cards  inserted directly into router slots. You must turn off the router before  installing or removing an interface card.

....your advise would be appreciated as I need to plug in a HWIC-1GE-SFP into a production 3845.

Regards

Kishore

Hi Kishore,

Unfortunately, it looks like OIR is not supported in HWIC slots.
