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.
