Hot-Swapping Plug-In Modules

Note. Hot-swapping plug-in modules applies to like modules only. If one module type (e.g., OS-XNI-U4)
is being replaced with an unlike module (e.g., OS-XNI-U12) a chassis reboot is required.
1 Disconnect all cables from transceivers on module to be hot-swapped.
2 Extract all transceivers from module to be hot-swapped.
3 Extract the module from the chassis and wait approximately 30 seconds before inserting replacement.
4 Insert replacement module of same type.
5 Wait for a ChassisSupervisor niMgr notification similar to the following to display on the console:
+++ Expansion module 2 ready!
6 Re-insert all transceivers into new module.
7 Re-connect all cables to transceivers.
