Enabling or disabling a blade
The Firmware Version columns display the firmware loaded onto each blade. A blade can have
more than one firmware image loaded onto it. The Blade State column in the Blade tab pane
indicates whether the blade is enabled.
NOTE
The blade state is always shown as enabled, even if you perform a blade disable operation. When a
blade is set to a disable state, only the ports on the balde are disabled. The blade remains active.
To enable or disable a blade, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described in “Opening the Switch Administration
window” on page 31.
2. Select the Blade tab ( Figure 9 ).
