Determining Chassis Mode

Chassis mode in Dell Networking OS determines which hardware is being supported in an E-Series chassis.

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 ports on the card and recognize all software features.
