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
