Upgrade to a 4-Port 10 GE Module
The 4-Port 10 GE module can be swapped into a slot that previously contained another type of
Ethernet I/O Module. Even though the module will install mechanically in the slot due to all I/
O Modules having the same dimensions, the software is not guaranteed to preserve the correct
number and configuration of vNICs from the previous module to the 4-Port 10 GE module. For
example, if you remove a 1-Port 10 GE module (1x10) and insert a 4-Port 10 GE module, there
is no guarantee that the previous configuration from the 1-Port 10 GE module (10x1) will be
available when the 4-Port 10 GE module boots up.
As a result, if you will be using a 4-Port 10 GE module, you can either install it in a slot that
previously had no other module in it, or you can install it in a module that previously had a GE
module. The following procedure documents how to upgrade a previous 10-Port, 1 GE module
to the 4-Port 10 GE module. For illustrative purposes, the procedure assumes that a module
exists in slot 4, and the 4x10 module will be inserted into that slot. However, the 4-Port GE
module does not always need to be inserted in the same slot. You can install it in a different slot
if needed.
Note -
While performing any hardware procedures, including swapping or upgrading a module,
make sure to observe proper ESD precautions.
