Installing and swapping of Ethernet modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to install or replace a

module, power down the system before you install or replace it. If you install or replace a module when the

system is powered up, the system does not recognize the module. Online insertion of modules can result in a

catastrophic failure.

•

difference. A module may have:

handle. Port numbering is written on the front of the handle.
