Determining Chassis Mode

Chassis mode in FTOS determines which hardware is being supported in an S5000 switch.

Chassis mode is programmed into an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) on the backplane

of the chassis and the change takes place only after the chassis is rebooted. Configuring the appropriate chassis mode

allows the system to use all the available ports and to recognize all software features.
