Installation and Removal Instructions
Installation and Removal Instructions
All Catalyst 6500 series switches support hot swapping, which lets you install, remove, replace, and
rearrange modules without turning off the system power to the switch. When the system detects that a
module has been installed or removed, it runs diagnostic and discovery routines, acknowledges the
presence or absence of the module, and resumes system operation with no operator intervention.
Caution
You must first shut down IDSM-2 before removing it from a Catalyst 6500 series switch. For the
procedure for removing an IDSM-2 from a Catalyst 6500 series switch, see
