Should I do this before or after I power down the VM and remove the device, or does it matter

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
(This is a different situation than my previous posts<br />
<br />
I am using RHEL 6.4<br />
<br />
I have to take away a ethernet device (specifically a VMWare CPI dev 0, passthrough)<br />
<br />
My intention is to disconnect this already configured device and replace it with another working adapter<br />
<br />
Should I<br />
<br />
remove the current ifcfg-eth3 file before I remove the device<br />
<br />
If so, how should I do this ?<br />
<br />
Thanks
