The feature card can be moved to another chassis
or can be reactivated on the current chassis. To
reactivate on the current chassis, enter racadm

card installed becomes active.
Dell Feature Cards may contain more than one feature. Once any feature included on a Dell Feature Card
has been activated on a chassis, any other features that may be included on that Dell Feature Card
cannot be activated on a different chassis. In this case, the racadm feature -s command displays the
following message for the affected features:
ERROR: One or more features on the SD card are active on another chassis
For more information on the feature and featurecard commands, see the Dell Chassis Management
Controller for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference Guide
.
Deactivating FlexAddress
The FlexAddress feature can be deactivated and the SD card returned to a pre-installation state by using a
RACADM command. There is no deactivation function within the Web interface. Deactivation returns the
SD card to its original state where it can be installed and activated in another chassis. The term
FlexAddress, in this context, implies both FlexAddress and FlexAddressPlus.
NOTE: The SD card must be physically installed in CMC, and the chassis must be turned off before
running the deactivation command.
If you run the deactivation command without installing an SD card, or with a card from a different chassis
installed, the feature is deactivated and change is not made to the card.
To deactivate the FlexAddress feature and restore the SD card:
racadm feature -d -c flexaddress
The command returns the following status message if it is successfully deactivated:
feature FlexAddress is deactivated on the chassis successfully.
If the chassis is not turned off before running the command, the command throws the following error:
ERROR: Unable to deactivate the feature because the chassis is powered ON
NOTE: To activate the FlexAddress feature again, re-boot the CMC.
For further information about the command, see the feature command section of the Dell Chassis
Management Controller for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
