Step 2 Choose Delete Module.

ViewRunner deletes that module from the chassis.

Deleting xTU-C Modules and Line Interface Modules

For xTU-C modules and line interface modules (LIMs), you must lock the module before you delete it.

To lock a module, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Place your cursor over the xTU-C or LIM slot and right-click to access the Module menu.

Step 2 Choose Port Properties and Configuration to open the Module Properties dialog box Port Configuration tab.

Step 3 Select Locked for the Administrative State.

Deleting Network Interface Modules

You cannot delete network interface modules without first locking them.

Caution Use caution before you delete a network interface module; you could interrupt subscriber calls that are taking place when you delete a network interface module.

Deleting System Controller Modules

You cannot delete the primary system controller module.

Note Be sure to use the configuration Save and Restore feature to save your original configuration so you can restore it when new modules are installed. See "Using the Save Configuration and Restore Configuration Features," for more details.

Deleting a Chassis

To delete a Cisco 6100/6130 chassis, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Place your cursor over the edge of the chassis that you want to delete, and then right-click.

The menu shown in Figure 6-2 appears.

Step 2 Choose Delete Chassis and ViewRunner deletes that chassis.

Note For system controller software Version 2.1.0 or later, you must lock the LIM controller module to delete the Cisco 6110 chassis. The Delete Chassis option is disabled if you have not locked the LIM controller module.
