Passive Hot Switch Status
The Passive Hot Switch Status screen displays the
real-time status of the passive hot switch between
dual MegaPower CPUs. This information is for
reference only and cannot be edited. The passive hot
switch monitors the status of the MPUs in a dual
MegaPower CPU system. If the selected MPU fails,
the passive hot switch switches to the non-selected
MPU.
