Replacing an interface module

You can remove an interface module and replace it with a new one while the B08S

and B16S is powered on and running.

This section provides information about the following tasks:

v General precautions

v Removing an interface module

v Installing a new interface module

Note the following when removing and replacing interface modules:

v If you remove an interface module without first disabling it, the chassis will reboot

v You do not need to enable an interface module after inserting it in the chassis.
