To ensure proper operation of the system, consider the following examples and rules for module placement in either chassis.

Example 1 (Figure 3-1, A)

Shows one module installed in the chassis. If the chassis is populated with only one 4xxxxx, it must be installed in slot 1.

Rule: If only one 4xxxxx is installed in the chassis, it must be in slot 1. Always install a 4xxxxx in slot 1 of the chassis.

Example 2 (Figure 3-1, B)

Shows the chassis fully populated with 4xxxxx modules. All modules may be hot swapped, except the module in slot 1. If the module in slot 2 is designated as a redundant management module, the module in slot 1 may be hot swapped without shutting down the system. The module in slot 2 can be designated using the CLI command

set license <license key>.

For information on how to use this command, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide. To access this guide on the web, refer to “Related Documents” on page xvi.

Without a designated redundant management module in slot 2, removing the module in slot 1 will shut down the system.

Rule: Any module in a 4xxxxx system, including the management module in slot 1, may be hot swapped when there is a 4xxxxx module designated as a redundant management module in slot 2.
