The SF modules provide switching functionality for a J-EX8216 switch. Your switch can have eight SF modules. We recommend that you install all eight SF modules for normal switch operation. To take the SF module offline: 1. Enter the following CLI command: user@switch> request chassis sib offline slot slot-number where the slots are numbered from 0 through 7. See "Slot Numbering for a J-EX8216 Switch" on page 14. 2. Confirm that the SF module is offline: user@switch# show chassis sibs slot-number When the state field in the command output shows that the SF module is offline, it is safe to remove and replace the SF module.
