This chapter describes how to add, remove, and hot-swap management cards and interface

modules in the system. It also covers how to install power adaptor cards.

This section describes the steps required to add and remove management cards. If you want to

hot-swap management cards, follow the steps below to remove the existing management card

and add the new management card.

Be careful when you remove a management card from one MS-7206 and

install it in a different MS-7206 because it is possible that the two MS-7206s

will have the same MAC address.

In the MS-7206 system, the MAC address comes from the management card, not the MS-7206

chassis. Each management card has a different MAC address. The MS-7206 system copies the

MAC address from the active management card when the MS-7206 system starts up. The MS-

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.

• You can install management cards in slot 1 and/or slot 2.

• Install the interface modules in the other slots.

• Leave the slot covers on unused slots.

1 Install the card in the MS-7206 chassis (refer to

2 Turn on the system.

If you insert the management card in slot 1, it automatically becomes the active management

card. If you insert the management card in slot 2, it becomes the standby management card if

there is another management card in slot 1.
