Switching Fabric Module (XP-8600 only)
Switching Fabric Module (XP-8600 only)
The XP-8600 has slots for two Switching Fabric Modules. While the XP-8600 is operating, you can
install a second Switching Fabric Module. If two Switching Fabric Modules are installed, you can
hot swap one of them. When you remove one of the Switching Fabric Modules, the other goes
online and stays online until it is removed or the XP-8600 is powered off. When the XP-8600 is
powered on again, the Switching Fabric Module in slot “Fabric 1,” if one is installed there,
becomes the active Switching Fabric Module.
WARNING You can only hot swap a Switching Fabric Module if two are installed on the
XP-8600. If only one Switching Fabric Module is installed, and you remove it, the
XP-8600 will crash.
The procedure for hot swapping a Switching Fabric Module is similar to the procedure for hot
swapping a line card or Control Module. You deactivate the Switching Fabric Module, remove it
from the X-Pedition, and insert another Switching Fabric Module in the slot.
Note: You cannot deactivate the Switching Fabric Module with the system hotswap command.
To deactivate the Switching Fabric Module:
• Press the Hot Swap button on the Switching Fabric Module you want to deactivate. The Online
LED goes out and the Offline LED lights. Figure 4 shows the location of the Offline LED and
Hot Swap button on a Switching Fabric Module.
