Nortel Networks recommends that you route all network cables through the
supplied cable management brackets (
Figure 2-6 ).
Figure 2-6. Routing Network Cables
Replacing Modules
Any of the Passport 8100 modules can be removed from an operating switch
chassis without turning off the chassis power.
If you insert a module into the same slot and chassis where the same type of
module was previously installed, the previous configuration is maintained for that
module in that slot. In all other cases, a module inserted into a Passport 8000
series chassis is reset to factory defaults.
If you remove the switch management module (for example, to replace it), the
switch continues switching for up to 2 minutes. Then it reboots using the
configuration settings on the backup switch management module, if one is
present. If no backup switch management is present, after 2 minutes all ports go to
blocking mode.
