Slot
---------------------------------

Local CP (Slot 6, CP1): Active
Remote CP (Slot 5, CP0): Non-Redundant
In the above example, slotShow slot 5 is listed as vacant even though the card exists. This situation
could be caused by two things: the CP card is not seated properly or has failed. The output of haShow
shows that the active CP card is in slot 6 and the CP card in slot 5 is listed as Non-Redundant -- meaning
it is either failed, is in the process of booting, or the card is not powered on. Make sure that the CP card
is installed properly and the ejector latch is locked in place.

Note:
If there is no replacement CP card, the slot should be covered with filler panel to maintain optimal
cooling. There is no redundancy in a single CP card configuration and the faulted CP card should be
replaced immediately.

ejector in and levering the black handles open.
