Replacing an AT-8401 Management Card

Procedure for
Replacing a
Management
Card
This section describes how to replace an AT-8401 management card
from the AT-8400 chassis. You must power down the chassis before you
can replace a management card. For information about installing a
management card, see
56.
This procedure discusses how to remove an installed AT-8401
management card and replace it with a new one while the chassis is
powered down. You can install a maximum of one AT-8401
management card in an AT-8400 chassis.
The AT-S60 software resides on the management card and directs the
activity of the AT-8400 line cards. Consequently, when you remove the
AT-8401 from the chassis, the AT-8400 line cards will not forward
packets. However, the configuration information that pertains to the
AT-8400 line cards is retained.
For detailed information about the AT-8401 management card, see
Chassis Slot M and the AT-8401 Management Fabric Card
