Removing RPMs and Line Cards
WARNING: After removing an RPM, place a panel blank in the empty slot before powering up the chassis.
Blanks are required to control airflow and electromagnetic interference.
NOTE: The C150 requires at least one RPM to operate. The system enters a software-defined power-down
state if you remove the only RPM.
