Adding Cards

Adding Cards
After the initial installation and configuration of a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) or
Cisco MGX 8830 switch, you can add additional cards to empty slots in the chassis. When you add a
card, as opposed to replacing a card, you must configure the switch to recognize the new card. The
following sections describe how to configure the switch to recognize the following card additions:

Adding a Standby PXM Card

During installation, single or redundant PXM cards can be installed in the switch. The procedure for
initializing cards after installation is described in the
"Configuring General Switch Features."
When you add a PXM card to the switch, you are adding a standby PXM card to a switch with a single
active PXM card.
If you are replacing a PXM card that previously operated as either an active or standby card in this
Note
switch, refer to the
When adding a standby PXM card to your switch, you need to physically install the PXM card and the
back cards in the following order:
1.
2.
3.
After the new standby PXM front and back cards are installed, the active PXM card will initialize the
standby card set. The initialization procedure takes some time. You can verify that initialization is
complete by entering the dspcd command with the standby slot number, for example, dspcd 8. If the
front card state is Standby, initialization is complete.

Adding Service Modules

When you add any new service module to a switch, you are adding new front and back cards to a slot
that is not pre-configured for any card. The following procedure describes how to add service modules
to unconfigured slots.
If the slot has been previously configured for a service module, you can either replace that card with a
Note
card of the same type or you can decommission the slot. If you are replacing a service module that
previously operated in this switch, see the
Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Configuration Guide
