config
This mandatory command is the first step in activating the IOM software: designating it a slot position in the chassis. On the 7705 SAR, the slot number is always 1. The IOM software must be activated before the adapter cards and ports can be configured. The no form of this command removes the card from the configuration. All associated ports, services, and adapter cards must be shut down.

This mandatory command is the second step in activating the IOM software: designating the card type. The card type can be preprovisioned, meaning that the card does not need to be installed in the chassis. On the 7705 SAR, the card type is always iom-sar.
A card must be provisioned (configured) before an adapter card or port can be configured.
A card can only be provisioned in a slot that is vacant, which means that no other card can be provisioned for that particular slot. To reconfigure a slot position, use the no form of this command to remove the current information. Port and adapter card information must be shut down.
A card can only be provisioned in a slot if the card type is allowed in the slot. An error message is generated if an attempt is made to provision a card type that is not allowed.
The no form of this command removes the card from the configuration. This operation requires that the card be administratively shut down. All dependencies to ports on this card must be shut down and removed from the configuration before issuing the no card-type command.
