Installing and replacing a module 77
— To remove a module from an active system, you must disable the
module before you remove it. Disabling the slot before removing the
module provides a clean disconnect from all services.
The following procedure includes directions for disabling the module.
— If you remove an 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, or 8683POSM module
from an operating switch without turning off the chassis power and
the module you insert has the same type MDAs installed as the
module that you removed, the system saves the configuration.
— If you remove an 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, or 8683POSM module
from an operating switch without turning off the chassis power
and the module you insert has different MDAs installed than the
module that you removed, you must reconfigure the module. Nortel
recommends that you save the original configuration in a file for
future use.
— If you replace a module with a different type module, the system
discards the configuration of the old ports and adds the new ports to
either the default VLAN or a null VLAN, depending on the operating
mode of the switch.
— If you save the configuration in nonvolatile random access memory
(NVRAM), turn off the switch, replace a module with a different
module type, and turn the system on again, the system discards
the configuration of the old ports and adds new ports to either the
default VLAN or an unassigned VLAN, depending on the operating
mode of the switch.
— If you replace an 8691omSF or 8692omSF module, all the other
modules in the chassis reset and revert to their saved configuration
settings. If you did not save the configuration settings for a module,
the module reverts to its factory default settings.
