Hotswap Command
This command prompts you
Authority | Admin |
Syntax | hotswap |
Notes | The Hotswap command automatically starts and ends an Admin session in the |
| presence of admin authority. |
| Always perform the hot swap procedure as prompted, otherwise the switch will |
| become unresponsive. For example, if you install a blade in the wrong slot, |
| proceed as though you no mistake had been made and follow the rest of the |
| procedures. When complete, perform the operation again with the correct slot. If |
| the switch becomes unresponsive, you must power cycle the switch. |
| After you select an I/O blade to remove and press the Enter key, all Port Status |
| LEDs will flash green to identify the selected I/O blade. |
| After you install an I/O blade and press the Enter key, the Port Status LEDs will |
| flash amber in sequence by port number, then the Port Status LEDs will flash |
| green. |
