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 andfeaturecard commands, see the Chassis Management Controller
for Dell PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
Deactivating FlexAddress
The FlexAddress or feature can be deactivated and the SD card returned to a pre-installation state 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 on a different 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 powered-down
before executing the deactivation command.
If you execute the deactivation command with no card installed, or with a card from a different chassis
installed, the feature is deactivated and no change is made to the card.
