10. Restart the switch and verify the installation.
If you have a terminal connected to the asyn0 port, any error message is
displayed during startup self-tests.
Confirm there is no error message about installation in the log file and that
the switch has recognised the XEM.

commands:

Installing or replacing XEMs with hot swap support
Caution It is recommended that you should wait 30 seconds between hot
swapping any XEM to resume normal operations. Also ensure the XEM
fastening thumbscrews are fully tightened. If you are unsure about correct
procedures, contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.
Follow this procedure to hot swap a XEM in a switch running the
AlliedWare Plus™ operating system. Note that the XEM-STK cannot be hot
swapped.
1. If you are replacing a XEM, first save the switch configuration, by using the
commands:
awplus>enable
awplus#copy running-config startup-config
2. If you are replacing an existing XEM, disconnect any data cables.
3. Loosen the thumbscrews on the faceplate or existing XEM, and remove it.
Keep the faceplate for future use. If you remove a XEM, cover the bay with
the faceplate to prevent dust and debris from entering it and to maintain
proper airflow.
4. Carefully slide the new XEM into the empty bay until you feel it engage the
rear plug.
5. Secure the XEM by tightening the thumbscrews.
