If you're using network failover then you should be able to disconnect the standby without any issues. I might be inclined to force offline the standby prior to disconnecting it so when u bring it up in the other DC it doesn't go straight to active if there are comms issues.

 

Re hardware (serial) failover then I believe f5 recommend this in addition to network failover. So when both bigips are in the same DC I'd reattach the cable.
