7.4.2 Inactive Maintenance


7.4.2 Inactive Maintenance
You can perform inactive maintenance only for a system that uses the SPARC M10-4S in a building block configuration.
This section describes the flows of the inactive replacement, inactive addition, and inactive removal of the link card.
References to detailed descriptions are written in the work procedure tables. See any of them as required.
The following patterns are available for inactive maintenance of the link card.
Inactive Replacement (Replacing the Link Card After Stopping the Physical Partition)
Stop the physical partition in which the link card requiring maintenance is mounted, and then replace the link card.
