CHAPTER 3 Installing Cards This chapter describes how to add, remove, and hot-swap management cards and interface modules in the system. 3.1 Management Cards This section describes the steps required to add and remove management cards. If you want to hot-swap management cards, follow the steps below to remove the existing management card and add the new management card. " Be careful when you remove a management card from one MS-7206 system and install it in a different MS-7206 system because it is possible that the two MS-7206 systems will have the same MAC address. In the MS-7206 system, the MAC address comes from the management card, not the MS-7206 chassis. Each management card has a different MAC address. The MS-7206 system copies the MAC address from the active management card when the MS-7206 system starts up. The MS7206 system keeps using this MAC address, even if the standby management card takes over, until the system starts up again. As a result, it is possible for two or more MS-7206 systems to have the same MAC address at the same time if the same management card was active when each of them last started up. You can install management cards in slot 1 or slot 2. 3.1.1 Add a Management Card (System Is Off) 1 Insert the card in the MS-7206 chassis. 2 Turn on the system. If you insert the management card in slot 1, it automatically becomes the active management card. If you insert the management card in slot 2, it becomes the standby management card if there is another management card in slot 1. 3.1.2 Add a Management Card (System Is On) Insert the card in the MS-7206 chassis.
