Note: The power class of the newly installed module will not play any role in this process. For example, the Controller module will not power down a currently installed module with a lower power class to accommodate the newly installed module. Also, if the hub is operating in fault-tolerant mode, the hub will not switch to non-fault-tolerant mode to use the reserved power to accommodate the newly installed module.

The process of applying power to a newly installed 8260 module is shown in Figure 51 on page 83.
