Usage Guidelines The set module power up command allows you to check if adequate power is av a ilable in the sys tem to
turn the power on. If not enough power is available, the module status change s from p ower-down to

The pm_option argument allows you to set the power management bit for the module on which disaster
recovery is needed. Setting the power management bit triggers the downloading of the image from
supervisor engine flash memory to the CommunicationMedia Module (CMM) every time the CMM is
reset. For more information about disaster recovery and power management bit values on different
supervisor engines, see the “Disaster Recovery for CMM Software Upgrades” section of the Catalyst
6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series CMM Installation and Configuration Note. This note is located here:
