Installing a Passport 8100 Module
Nortel Networks recommends that you route all network cables through the supplied cable management brackets (Figure

Replacing Modules
Any of the Passport 8100 modules can be removed from an operating switch chassis without turning off the chassis power.
If you insert a module into the same slot and chassis where the same type of module was previously installed, the previous configuration is maintained for that module in that slot. In all other cases, a module inserted into a Passport 8000 series chassis is reset to factory defaults.
If you remove the switch management module (for example, to replace it), the switch continues switching for up to 2 minutes. Then it reboots using the configuration settings on the backup switch management module, if one is present. If no backup switch management is present, after 2 minutes all ports go to blocking mode.
