2.9. Unused Slots
Slots which have no modules configured and will never be used as companion slots or hot swap slots
may be taken out of the scanning process to shorten the processing times. This action will provide
significant gains where there are many empty slots.
To do this, move the cursor over the slot and click the left mouse button.
Figure 32 Disable Scanning
To remove the slot from the scanning process, check ‘Disable scanning of this slot’. Note that from
release 3.5, this action will totally disable all communications to that slot, and this is indicated by a red
‘X’ over the slot. It is now impossible to hot-swap a module to that slot, or to perform diagnostics on a
module moved to that slot. For this reason, do not disable any companion slots or smart slots, and
leave one slot active as a diagnostic slot.
