•
The procedural error improper removal (IMPROPRMVL) alarm means a card was physically removed
from its slot before the card was deleted in CTC. The card does not need to be in service to cause this
alarm, it only needs to be recognized by CTC and the XTC card. This alarm does not appear if you delete
the card from CTC before you physically remove the card from the node.
Caution Do not pull a card during a card reboot. If CTC begins to reboot a card before you remove the card, allow
the card to finish rebooting. After the card reboots, delete the card in CTC again and physically remove
the card before it begins to reboot.
