Hotswap Command
This command prompts you step-by-step through the procedure to replace an I/O
blade, insert an I/O blade, or remove an I/O blade while the switch is running.
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.
