Hot Swapping a Module
Warning Do not hot swap an active SCM, SFM, or SFM2 from a CSS. Hot
swapping these active modules terminates all communications
within the CSS and causes the CSS to reboot.
If you replace an active SCM with a new SCM, the boot
configuration reverts back to its default settings. You must
reconfigure these parameters through the Offline Diagnostic
Monitor menu. For more information on accessing and using this
menu, refer to the
Content Services Switch Basic Configuration
Guide , Chapter 1.
You do not need to power down the CSS 11800 chassis to install a module. You
can install a module while the chassis is operating. When you install a SFM or
SFM2 while the CSS is powered up, the module remains powered off until the
next reboot.
When you remove a module and replace it with a module of the same type, the
SCM automatically downloads the boot image and configuration files for the
module. (For information on image and configuration files, refer to Chapter 4,
Configuring the CSS.) The newly installed module boots up with:
• The appropriate module image
• The same configuration as the former module
When you remove a module and replace it with a module of a different type, the
SCM downloads the module boot image automatically. The newly installed
module boots up with the appropriate module image.
