Swapping Modules

Removing the Old Module

To remove anon- management module, disable the module first before removing it. Disabling the module before
removing it prevent a brief service interruption on other non-management modules.The brief interruption can be
caused by the routing switch reinitializing other modules when you remove an enabled module.
NOTE: The disable module and enable module commands are not applicable to management modules. You
do not need to disable a management module in software before removing it.
To disable a non-management module, enter a command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the
CLI:
HP9300# disable module 3
This command disables the module in slot 3.
Syntax: disable module <slot-num>
The <slot-num> parameter specifies the slot number.
• Slots in a 4-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 4, from top to bottom.
• Slots in an 8-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 8, from left to right.
• Slots in a 15-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 15, from left to right.
NOTE: If you remove the module without first disabling it, the routing switch re-initializes the other modules in the
chassis, causing a brief interruption in service after which normal operation resumes.
If you decide, after disabling a module, that you do not want to remove the module, re-enable the module using
the following command:
HP9300# enable module 3
Syntax: enable module <slot-num>
NOTE: You do not need to enable a module after inserting it in the chassis. The module is automatically enabled
when you insert the module into a live chassis or when you power on the chassis.
NOTE: If you plan to replace a removed module with a different type of module, you must configure the slot for
the module. To configure a slot for a module, use the module command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
See "Installing the New Module" on page 2-34.

Installing the New Module

Physically insert a module into a Chassis device. Next, you need to enter the location and type of module in the
software, unless you either reboot the device or are replacing one module with another of the same type.
Slots on the HP 9304M are numbered 1 – 4, from top to bottom.
Slots on the HP 9308M are numbered 1 – 8, from left to right.
Slots on the HP 9315M are numbered 1 – 15, from left to right.
NOTE: If the slot has never contained a module or you are swapping in exactly the same type of module, you do
not need to use the module command. The slot requires configuration only if it has already been configured for
another type of module.
