1. Remove the standby BXM card and replace it with the BXM-E card.
2. BXM-E card can be flagged as 'Mismatch' if the configured channel
statistics level or number of connections is smaller than those configured on
the active BXM card. Use the command cnfcdparm <BXM-E slot_num> to
configure the desired level of channel statistics and number of connections,
if not already configured. The BXM-E card is reset after the cnfcdparm
command is executed. After the BXM-E card boots, there should be no
mismatch.
Yred the switch so that the standby BXM-E becomes active.
