Installing a new interface module
You can install an interface module in the B08S and B16S while the chassis is
powered on and running.
Before installing one of these modules into the chassis, have the following on hand:

from the chassis. If the operator wishes to remove the module without first
disabling the module, the Enhanced Hot Swap capability supports this procedure
for the B08S and B16S chassis. Enhanced Hot Swap (that is, no CLI disable)
should be performed during a maintenance window. On rare occasions, an
Enhanced Hot Swap may result in a software reload of the system. The
likelihood of this event is very low. It is important to wait a minimum of 10
seconds between the removal and insertion of a line module. Re-insertion of a
line module less than 10 seconds after the removal of a line module may result
in the line module not being properly recognized.

<slotnum> command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI, then save the
configuration to flash memory.
For example:
(config)# no module 4
(config)# exit
# write mem
Note: If you attempt to insert a module of a different type without first removing
the previous module configuration, the system will display an error
message.

Attention:
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot
panel in place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will
overheat.
