   Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.

2. Power off the chassis by removing the power cords from the power supplies and the power outlets.
3. Label the cables connected to all blades and record the connections. For each connection, identify the director slot and port, the device connected, and the slot or port on the connected device.
4. Disconnect the cables from the transceivers in the port and core routing blades and set them aside. For transceivers with integrated cables, remove the transceivers and cables together and set them aside. Transceivers without integrated cables can be left in the blades or removed.
5. Disconnect all cables from the CP blades.
