When a slave management board is not installed or not working, hot-swapping the
spine board connected to the master management board will cause the chassis to crash.
Neither the CLI nor the GUI management tools will allow you to shut down spine #1
or spine #2, as the management modules are connected to the chassis components
through these spines.
Figure 40: Management Module Numbering
Removing spine #1 causes management module #1 to reset.
Removing spine #2 causes management module #2 to reset.
Warning: If the spine you want to hot swap is connected to the master management
module the management module will reboot when you take out the spine.
If you have only one management module the chassis will crash!
