Locating RPM Cards in the Switch
You already have the location of the RPM cards if you have completed the appropriate hardware survey
worksheet (See
Features"). That section describes how to locate the RPM cards, as well as other switch cards, and how
to determine if the RPM front and back cards are installed in the correct slots.

"Verifying the Hardware
RPM-PR cards are identified as RPM_PR cards.
RPM-XF cards are identified as RPM_XF cards
If one or more RPM back cards are installed for an RPM card, the status for the appropriate bay
changes from Empty to Active. The switch does not detect and display the card type or software
revision status.
The Standby status for the front card indicates that the card is either operating in boot mode, or that
the card is operating as a standby card for another RPM card.
Purpose
Initialize RPM cards by identifying a runtime software file and
storing the configuration on the PXM hard disk.
