Good point,   Port Adapters (PA-xx) do not support Online Insertion and 
Removal (OIR) on Cisco 7500 series routers.  The VIP does support OIR.  
You need to remove the VIP before you insert the PA.  I'm not sure what 
would happen if you did it live but I would suspect 'bad things' (tm) 
possibly killing the PA and or VIP.
