Hot Swap Wizard

The Hot Swap Wizard is a series of dialogs that walk you through the process of replacing, removing, or inserting an I/O blade while the switch is running. Each type of hot swap procedure uses its own set of dialogs within the Hot Swap Wizard. The current step in the hot swap procedure is highlighted in the left side of the Hot Swap Wizard dialog.

Note: The Hot Swap Wizard is only available to the out-of-band switch. You

can not use the Hot Swap Wizard over an inter-switch link.

Always perform the hot swap procedure as prompted by the wizard, otherwise the switch will become unresponsive. For example, if you install a blade in the wrong slot, proceed as though no mistake had been made and follow the rest of the hot swap procedure. When complete, perform the operation again with the correct slot. If the switch becomes unresponsive, you must power cycle the switch.

To start the Hot Swap Wizard, open the Switch menu in the faceplate display, and select Hot Swap Wizard. Following is an overview of each of hot swap procedure:
