1.10.3.1 Extracting a Spine Board
Extracting Spine Board #1 or #2
Spine board #1 is connected to management board #1 and spine board #2 is connected to
management board #2.
Figure 40: Management Module Numbering
Figure 41: Spine Board Extraction
When a slave management board is not installed or not working, hot-swapping the
spine board connected to the master management board will cause the chassis to crash.
Neither the CLI nor the GUI management tools will allow you to shut down spine #1
or spine #2, as the management modules are connected to the chassis components
through these spines.
Removing spine #1 causes management module #1 to reset.
Removing spine #2 causes management module #2 to reset.
Warning
: If the spine you want to hot swap is connected to the
master
management
module the management module will
reboot
when you take out the spine.
If you have only one management module the chassis will crash!
