RE: how to remove hardware - correctly

[Christopher Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I upgrade from 7.1 to 7.3 the card will not be supported.  I just want to remove any unsupported hardware before the upgrade so I does not cause issues during or after the upgrade.

My question is why remove the card? The jukebox and cables etc sure. All 
the configuration objects within IBM i, absolutely. (And bravo for doing 
that by the way, mostly that stuff gets to live on forever!)  The card 
however, takes effectively zero power, occupies a slot you most likely 
have no other use for and has no value on the used market.

In other words is it worth the risk to remove it?
