Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX8208 Ethernet Switch Hardware Guide Figure 84: Removing an SRE Module from a J-EX8208 Switch Related • Installing an SRE Module in a J-EX8208 Switch on page 118 Documentation • Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) Module in a J-EX8208 Switch on page 22 Taking the SF Module Offline in a J-EX8208 Switch The SF module provides switching functionality for a J-EX8208 switch. Your switch can have either zero SF modules or one SF module. NOTE: If you take the SF module offline in a switch configuration having only one Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) module, throughput will be low. To take the SF module offline: 1. Take the SF module offline: user@switch> request chassis cb offline slot 2 For an SF module, the control board slot number is always 2. 2. (Optional) Confirm that the SF module is offline: user@switch> show chassis environment cb slot-number The state field in the command output shows that the SF module is offline. It is now safe to remove or replace the SF module. Related • Installing an SF Module in a J-EX8208 Switch on page 120 Documentation 168
