Determining the Chassis Mode
The chassis mode in FTOS determines which hardware is being supported in an E-Series chassis. The
chassis mode is programmed into an EEPROM on the backplane of the chassis and the change takes
place only after the chassis is rebooted. Configuring the appropriate chassis mode enables the system
to use all the ports on the card and recognize all software features.
