Do NOT use the Archive Untouched Switches check box and this must be UNCHECKED. If this is checked then any switch in the system that is NOT on the list will be archived.

6. Review outcome to make sure ONLY the switches to be deleted have been accounted for. e.g. removing 4 switches are identified as Archived Switches = 4 found.

7. When you are ready to import, uncheck the Trial Run checkbox.

8 Click the RUN! button to import the file.
