Adding Cards
Step 4
When prompted to confirm the command and reset the card, type y and press Return.
After you confirm the command, the slot initializes, the runtime firmware loads on the service module
card, and the card resets. Be patient. The card reset takes a couple of minutes. While the card is resetting,
you can enter the dspcds command to display the status of the service module card. If you enter the
command frequently, you will see the card state change from Empty to Boot/Empty to Empty to
Init/Empty and finally to Active/Active.
Step 5
To verify that the new card is running the correct firmware, enter the dspcd command with the correct
slot number. The following example shows that the AXSM-XG card in slot 16 is running firmware
version 5.0(0).

Adding SRM Cards
When you add an SRM card to a switch, you are adding new front and back cards to a slot that is not
configured for an SRM card. The following procedure describes how to add SRM cards to unconfigured
slots.
Note
If the slot has been previously configured for an SRM card, you can either replace that card with a card
of the same type or you can decommission the slot.
