Managing I/O Blades

An I/O blade is a component switch of the larger SANbox2-64 switch. When you configure an I/O blade and its ports you are really configuring the slot. Because this configuration is saved on the switch CPU, any I/O blade that you install in that slot will acquire that configuration. This section describes the following I/O blade management tasks:

„Displaying I/O blade information

„Changing the blade administrative state

„Testing a blade

„Resetting a blade

„Hot Swap Wizard
