Hot Swapping Overview
Hot swapping is the ability to replace a line card, Control Module, or GBIC (in the ER16
only) while the XP is operating.Hot swapping allows you to remove or install line cards
without switching off or rebooting the XP. Swapped-in line cards are recognized by the
XP and begin functioning immediately after they are installed.
On the XP-8000 and XP-8600, you can hot swap line cards and secondary control modules.
On the XP-8600, you can also hot swap the secondary switching fabric module. On the
ER16, you can hot swap the GBICs, in addition to the line cards and secondary control
modules.
WARNING Take appropriate care when removing line cards
from the XP. They may be hot to the touch.
WARNING The XP and its components are sensitive to static
discharge. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe
all static precautions when hot swapping the XP’s
components.
