Statement 1030
Online Insertion and Removal
The online insertion and removal (OIR) feature supported on the Catalyst 6500 series switches allows
you to remove and replace modules while the system is online. You can shut down the modules before
removal and restart them after insertion without causing other software or interfaces to shut down.
Note
Do not remove or install more than one module at a time. After you remove or install a module, check
the module LEDs before continuing.
When a module has been removed or installed, the Catalyst 6500 series switch stops processing traffic
for the module and scans the system for a configuration change. Each interface type is verified against
the system configuration, and then the system runs diagnostics on the new module. There is no disruption
to normal operation during the module insertion or removal.
