The HPE 5400R zl2 Switch supports “hot swapping” - the ability to replace the following hardware components while the switch is operating: a fan tray, power supply (if a second power supply is installed), and interface module.
The Management module and its components are not hot swappable.
The hot swapping feature allows you to remove or install modules without powering off or rebooting the switch. Swapped-in modules are recognized by the switch and begin functioning immediately, after they are installed.
If a module has to be replaced with one of the same type, or you are expanding the switch capability by adding a module in a slot where one was not previously installed (since the last switch reboot), the replaced or new module is immediately operational; there is no interruption to the switch operation.
When you are replacing a module in a slot with another module of different type, the new module does not immediately operate, since the switch contains configuration (such as VLAN membership) involving ports of the older module. Replacing the module does NOT automatically remove such configuration. To remove the older configuration, run the following command from the command line interface:
no module X
where, X is the slot letter of the module to be replaced. After you run command, the slot is restored to a state where no module was previously installed. When you insert the new module, the module operates immediately.
CAUTION: The HPE 5400R zl2 Switch and its components are sensitive to static discharge. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions when hot swapping components. For example, connect your antistatic wrist strap to the ground point on the front of the switch, above the rightmost power supply bay. | |
NOTE: This unit may have more than one power supply cable. To fully power down the switch, you must disconnect all power supply cables from the unit. | |
