Hot Swapping a Switching Fabric Module (RS 8600 only) Hot Swapping Line Cards and Control Modules
Warning You can only hot swap a Switching Fabric Module if two are installed on the
RS 8600. If only one Switching Fabric Module is installed, and you remove
it, the RS 8600 will crash.
The procedure for hot swapping a Switching Fabric Module is similar to the procedure for hot swapping a line card or
Control Module. You deactivate the Switching Fabric Module, remove it from the RS, and insert another Switching
Fabric Module in the slot.
Note You cannot deactivate the Switching Fabric Module with the
system hotswap
command.
To deactivate the Switching Fabric Module:
1. Press the Hot Swap button on the Switching Fabric Module you want to deactivate.
The Online LED goes out and the Offline LED lights. Figure 4-3 shows the location of the Offline LED and Hot
Swap button on a Switching Fabric Module.

in the chassis.

4.5.2 Installing a Switching Fabric Module
To install a Switching Fabric Module:
1. Slide the Switching Fabric Module all the way into the slot, firmly but gently pressing to ensure that
the pins on the back of the module are completely seated in the backplane.
Note Make sure the circuit card (and not the metal plate) is between the card guides.
Check both the upper and lower tracks.
