Hot-Swapping Modules and Line Cards
The Cisco 6400 system has a hot-swap feature that allows you to install and remove modules andline
cards while the system is operating. With hot swapping, you do not need to power down the system.
When unconfigured node line cards (NLCs) are installed for the first time, the system identifies them as
present but unconfigured. Read the instructions for initial interface configurations in the Cisco 6400
Software Setup Guide.
If a card or module similar to the one that was removed is reinserted into a slot, the Cisco 6400
automatically configures its ports and brings it online up to the port count of the original card.
Note
You must administratively shut down the card or module; otherwise alarms are activated.
Caution
To avoid erroneous failure messages, allow at least 15 seconds for the system to reinitialize. Note the
current configuration of all interfaces before you remove or insert another card.
Plug-In Module or Card Replacement Suggestions
The following are examples of recommended module and card insertion practices:
•
Do not force the faceplate into its slot. This action can damage the pins on the backplane if they are
not aligned properly with the module or card.
•
Fully depress the ejector levers to ensure that the card connector mates with the backplane correctly.
Ensure that the card or module is firmly seated in the slot.
•
Use the installation screws (top and bottom of carrier) to secure the module or card firmly in place
in the chassis.
