Replacing an interface module
You can remove or replace interface modules while the router is powered on and running. For more information on module slot locations,
refer to
Product Overview on page 21.
NOTE
It is not recommended that you hot-swap an interface module that is running a software image older or newer than the image
on the management module. Although the management module will attempt to sync the application image on the interface
module, it may not be able to sync older FPGA images. In this case the interface module may attempt to continuously reload.
Always upgrade or downgrade the FPGA images on replacement interface modules to match the software version on the
management module before you install the interface modules in your device.
For information about how to install a new or replacement module, refer to the installation chapter for your router model.
NOTE
If you are hot-swapping a component, allow a minimum of two seconds after a component has been removed before inserting
a replacement component in the same slot.
Removing and replacing an interface module
To remove or replace an interface module, see the module instructions in the installation chapter that is appropriate for your router model.
