Installing Redundant Hardware
By default, the switch is configured without the redundant controller or element, as
shown in Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8. Default Hardware Configuration
To install the redundant modules and enable module redundancy:
1. Shut down the switch.
WARNING:Before replacing switch controllers or elements, turn off the switch.
2. Install the redundant controller in the slot to the left of the primary controller. (Slot
1 in Figure 3-8).
Note: Controllers and elements are equipped with keys to ensure that a controller
cannot be inserted into an element slot and an element cannot be inserted
into a controller slot.
3. Install the redundant element in the slot to the left of the sixth element. (Slot 0 in
Figure 3-8).
4. Restart the switch and login.
5. In the System Information section of the Web Agent window, click Switch
Fabric. The Switch Fabric Status dialog box opens.
If the redundant controller and element installed properly, settings display as in
Figure 3-9.
