settings under the media bay module headings. To correct a problem or change a module setting,
you may need to enable or disable a bus/module or select ports on the module. Refer to the
following procedures:
• "Disabling or enabling a bus or module" on page 87
• "Disabling or enabling a port channel setting" on page 87
• "Trunk module metrics" on page 88
