HOT SWAPPING A SWITCHING FABRIC MODULE
(RS 8600 ONLY)
The RS 8600 has slots for two Switching Fabric Modules. While the RS 8600 is operating, you can install a second
Switching Fabric Module. If two Switching Fabric Modules are installed, you can hot swap one of them.
When you remove one of the Switching Fabric Modules, the other goes online and stays online until it is removed or
the RS 8600 is powered off. When the RS 8600 is powered on again, the Switching Fabric Module in slot “Fabric 1,”
if one is installed there, becomes the active Switching Fabric Module.
