Removing a filler panel: 8006, 8010, 8306, and 8310 Chassis
Pull the filler panel away from the slot.
CAUTION
Before you remove a switch fabric module, back up your
configuration. If the chassis has only one module and you remove
that module, the switch does not operate.
If you remove an interface module from an operating switch without
turning off the chassis power and replace it with the same type module,
the system restores the configuration.
If you replace a module with a different type module, the system
discards the configuration of the old ports, and the new ports are added
to either the default VLAN or a null VLAN, depending on the operating
mode of the switch.
If you replace a switch fabric module, all the other modules in the chassis
reset and revert to their saved configuration settings. If configuration
settings for a module were not saved, the module reverts to its factory
default settings.
Action
Disconnect any cables attached to the ports on the module.
