7206 system keeps using this MAC address, even if the standby management card takes over, until the system starts up again. As a result, it is possible for two or more MS-7206 systems to have the same MAC address at the same time if the same management card was active when each of them last started up.
7.1.3 Remove a Management Card Refer to Section 7.4 on page 55 for how to physically remove the card from the MS-7206 chassis. If you remove the active management card, the standby management card takes over. 7.2 Interface Modules This section describes the steps required to add and remove interface modules. If you want to hot-swap interface modules, follow the steps below to remove the existing interface module and add the new interface module.
3 Remove the interface module from the system (if necessary). 4 Insert the interface module in slot 3, slot 4, slot 5, or slot 6. 5 Open the Slot Setup screen, and install the new type of interface module in the slot. MS-7206 Hardware Installation Guide...

MS-7206 power connections. • Keep the MS-7206 power switches in the OFF position until you come to the procedure for turning on the power. • If the power source has a switch, keep it in the OFF position until you come to the procedure for turning on the power.
Chapter 8 Connections and LEDs The MS-7206 supports two types of the power module: AC-DC converter (MP-7201) and DC- DC converter (MP-7203). You can install one type depending on your power source or install both types simutaneously. The power connections are on the front of each power module. The power modules are in the upper left of the front panel of the chassis.
6 Connect the other end of the power wire to the positive terminal on the power supply. 7 Connect one power wire to the -48V (input) terminal on the MS-7206 power module and tighten the terminal screw.
