Replacing an expansion module
The appliance associates the expansion module’s serial number to the slot designation, so you
will need to clear the slot data when you replace the expansion module. This does not affect
the port data.
To replace an expansion module:
1.
Disconnect the expansion module from the appliance. This generates an alarm.
2.
Dismount the expansion module from the mounting shelf if necessary.
3.
Use the
config system clear slot
command to clear the information about the
expansion module from the database.
4.
Install the replacement module in the desired location – for example, on the mounting
shelf.
5.
Connect the replacement module to the appliance using the USB cable.
6.
Use the
restart
command to restart the appliance.
7.
Complete the connections to managed devices.
In this procedure, the Uplogix appliance retains the module's port configurations in the port
database.
Removing an expansion module that will not be replaced
Use this procedure to take an expansion module out of service without replacing it.
To remove an expansion module permanently:
1.
Disconnect the expansion module from the appliance. This generates an alarm.
2.
Dismount the expansion module from the mounting shelf if necessary.
3.
Use the
config system clear slot
command to clear the stored information about the
module. This clears the alarm as well.
4.
After you clear the slot, use the
config system clear port
command to ensure that the
port data is completely cleared from the database.
