•
In the FSX 800 chassis, you can install up to eight Interface modules in the slots shown in Figure 2.4 on
page 2-7.
•
In the FSX 1600 chassis, you can install up to 16 interface modules in the slots shown in Figure 2.6 on
page 2-9.
NOTE:
You cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same chassis.
Table 2.8 lists the supported Interface modules for each FastIron X Series chassis type.
Hot Swap Support
•
Starting with software release 02.2.01 for the FSX, the interface modules are hot swappable, which means
you can remove and replace them without powering down the system; however, you must issue the
disable
module
command before you remove the modules from the chassis.
•
Prior to software release 03.2.00, all FSX 800 and FSX 1600 software releases support hot swap of the
interface modules, but the
disable module
command must be issued, before removing the modules from the
chassis.
•
In FSX software release 03.2.00 and later, issuing the
disable module
command before removing the
module is no longer required on the FastIron SX 800 and FastIron SX 1600 chassis. This is referred to as
“Enhanced Hot Swap”.
