Use this procedure to clear card-level, OTS controller, and optics controller configurations before you replace a configured optical module with a different module type.
Clear existing card and controller settings before you replace a configured optical module with a different module type in the same slot.
Before installing a new, different type of optical module, clear the configurations of the old module. A Cisco NCS 1001 slot configuration can include card configuration, OTS controller configuration, and optics controller configuration for EDFA cards.
Procedure
After clearing the old card configuration, the slot is ready for the replacement optical module.
