Chapter 6
Resetting or Inhibiting
Processor Modules and Power Supplies
Occasionally, you may need to reset or inhibit a processor module or a redundant power
supply. To load new software and parameters onto a processor module, for example, you
need to reset it to start the initialization process. To do this, you can press the Reset button
on the processor module, or use the following chassis management command from any
Network 9000 processor module in the chassis:
[DEFINE SERVER] RESET CHASSIS device [# ] [HOLD]
This command allows you to reset or inhibit (HOLD) a Network 9000 Type 2 processor
module or a redundant PS/130 power supply from a remote location, because you do not have
to physically press the Reset button on a processor module or turn off the power supply.
(This command does not apply to Type 1 modules or PS/120 power supplies.)
Valid keywords for the device variable are either SLOT, to indicate a chassis slot, or
POWER [SUPPLY], to indicate a power supply. The # variable indicates a slot number,
which is optional, or a power supply number, which is required.
The following sections of this chapter describe how to use this command:
•

Command Description
Resetting a Processor Module
Issuing the RESET CHASSIS SLOT command is equivalent to pressing the Reset button on
the front panel twice. When you do this, the processor module reloads software and
parameters. Resetting a module also interrupts all activities on that module.
