Moving CLAN and MedPro cards from one cabinet to another

Does anyone have to proper procedure for moving CLAN and Medpro cards from one cabinet to another?

Each IP card has a node-name. That node-name maps to an IP address.
Presuming you're moving the cards but keeping the same addresses, you could move CLAN 1a02 and MedPro 1a14 to 2a02 and 2a14 by
remove ip-interface 1a02
remove ip-interface 1a14
add ip-interface 2a02 - fill in the node name previously on CLAN 1a02
add ip-interface 2a14 - fill in the node-name previously on MedPro 1a14

Best practice is to have the node name be something like CLAN_1A02, so you'd probably want to change those names too if just by nomenclature they reflect the slot of the board.

Now, what's talking to that CLAN, what traffic that MedPro is handling, what network regions they belong to and what impacts you'd have doing it on a live system, those are all questions you should examine very thoroughly to avoid making a mess.

All network regions will stay the same and we have other CLAN and MedPro boards that will still be in service. I just wanted to know the procedure for moving the cards. Can't I busy out the card, disable the Ethernet port, move the card and change the node name?

You disable the port on the IP Interface form. You must add an IP Interface on a slot when you add an IP enabled card in it, so you have to do the remove/add ip-interface to release the node-name from the old slot and add it to the new one.

Would the same go for a medpro card?

yup
