Power Supply Configuration Overview
You can configure one of the following power modes to either use all of the available power provided by the installed power supply units or to provide power redundancy when there is a power loss:
•
Combined mode—Provides the maximum amount of available power by utilizing the combined power output from all installed power supply units for switch operations. This mode does not provide redundancy.
•
Power-supply redundancy mode—Allows you to replace a power supply during switch operations. All power supply units are active. The available power is calculated as the least amount of power available from all but one of the power supply units (N+1). The reserve power is the amount of power output by the power supply that can output the most power. For example, if three power supply units output 3 kW, 6 kW, and 6 kW, the available power is 9 kW (3 kW + 6 kW) and the reserve power is 6 kW.
•
Input source redundancy mode—Takes power from two electrical grids so that if one grid goes down, the other grid can provide the power needed by the switch. Each grid powers half of each power supply (grid A is connected to the Input 1 receptacle on each power supply and grid B is connected to the Input 2 receptacle on each power supply). The available power is the amount of power output by the portions of power supply units connected to the same grid. For example, if three power supply units are connected to a 110-V grid and a 220-V grid, each power supply outputs 1.2 kW for the 110-V grid and 3.0 kW for the 220-V grid. The available power would be 3.6 kW (1.2 kW + 1.2 kW + 1.2 kW) and the reserve power would be 9.0 kW (3.0 kW + 3.0 kW + 3.0 kW).
•
Full redundancy mode—Provides both power-supply redundancy and input-source redundancy. This mode lets you replace a power supply without interrupting system operations or continue powering the switch if one of two grids goes down. The available power is the lesser amount of output power for power supply redundancy or input source redundancy.
To determine the amount of available power for 6-kW power supply units in each power mode, see Table 6-1. To determine the amount of available power for 7.5-kW power supply units, see Table 6-2.

Power Supply Configuration Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when configuring power supply units:
•
When power supply units with different capacities are installed in the switch, the amount of available power differs based on one of the following configuration modes:
–
Combined mode—To activate this mode, use the power redundancy-mode combined command. If the combined power provided by all of the installed power supply units meets the power requirements of all of the switch modules, then this mode is sufficient for running your switch.
For example, suppose your system has the following setup:
Power supply unit 1 outputs 6 kW.
The switch power requirement is 8.784 kW.
The following two scenarios explain what happens for different numbers of power supply units that you install:
Scenario 1: If you do not add a power supply unit, the available power (6 kW) is insufficient for the switch power requirement, so the switch powers the supervisor modules, fabric modules, and fan trays, before powering as many I/O modules as the remaining available power can support (one or more I/O modules might not be powered).
Scenario 2: If you install an additional power supply unit that can output 3 kW, the available power becomes 9.0 kW. The increased amount of available power exceeds the switch power requirement, so all of the modules and fan trays in the switch can power up.
Table 6-3 shows the results for each scenario.

|
–
Power supply redundancy mode—To activate this power mode, use the power redundancy-mode ps-redundant command. The power supply unit that outputs the most power provides the reserve power, and the combined output for the other power supply units becomes the available power.
For example, suppose your system has the following setup:
Power supply unit 1 outputs 3.0 kW.
Power supply unit 2 outputs 6.0 kW.
The switch power requirement is 8.784 kW.
The following three scenarios explain what happens depending on what you install for the third power supply unit:
Scenario 1: If you do not add a third power supply unit, the reserve power is 6 kW and the available power is 3 kW. The available power is insufficient for the switch power requirement, so you cannot power the entire switch.
Scenario 2: If you add a power supply unit that outputs 3 kW, the reserve power remains 6 kW and available power becomes 6 kW. The available power is still insufficient because it does not meet the switch power requirement, so you can power more modules than you could with Scenario 1, but you still cannot power the entire switch.
Scenario 3: If you add a power supply unit that outputs 7.5 kW, the reserve power becomes 7.5 kW and the available power becomes 9 kW. The available power exceeds the switch power requirement, so you can power up all of the modules and fan trays in the switch.
Table 6-4 shows the results for each scenario.

Input source redundancy mode—To activate this power mode, use the power redundancy-mode insrc_redundant command. The reserve power is the greater of power outputs for the two grids, and the available power becomes the lesser of power outputs for the two grids.
For example, suppose your system has the following setup:
Grids 1 and 2 each input 220 V to the power supply units.
Power supply units 1 and 2 each output 6 kW.
Current usage requirement is 8.784 kW.
Then the following three scenarios explain what happens for different numbers of power supply units that you install:
Scenario 1: If you do not add a power supply unit, the reserve power is 6 kW (3 kW for one power supply unit and 3 kW for the other power supply unit), and the available power is 6 kW (3 kW for one power supply unit plus 3 kW for the other power supply unit). The available power does not meet the switch usage requirement, so you cannot power the entire switch.
Scenario 2: If you add a power supply that outputs 3 kW, the reserve power is 9 kW (3 kW for three power supply units), and the available power is 6 kW (3 kW for each of two power supply units). The available power does not meet the system usage requirement, so you cannot power the entire switch.
Scenario 3: If you add a power supply unit that outputs 7.5 kW, the reserve power is 9.75 kW (3 kW for two power supply units and 3.75 kW for the new power supply unit), and the available power is 9.75 kW (3 kW for two power supply units and 3.75 kW for the new power supply unit). The available power exceeds the switch usage requirement, so you can power up all of the modules and fan trays in the switch.

Full redundancy mode—To activate this power mode, use the power redundancy -mode redundant command. The reserve power is the greater amount of reserve power for power supply redundancy and input source redundancy, and the available power is the lesser amount of available power for the same two redundancy modes.
For example, suppose your system has the following setup:
Grids A and B each provide 220 V.
Power supply units 1 and 2 each output 6.0 kW.
Switch usage requirement is 8.784 kW.
Then the following three scenarios explain what happens for different numbers of power supply units that you install:
Scenario 1: If you do not add a power supply unit, the reserve power is 6 kW and the available power is 6 kW. The available power does not meet the switch usage requirement, so you cannot power up the entire switch.
Scenario 2: If you add a 3-kW power supply unit, the reserve power is 9 kW (3 kW for three power supply units on one grid), and the available power is 6 kW (3 kW for two power supply units on a second grid). The available power does not meet the switch usage requirement, so you cannot power up the entire switch.
Scenario 3: If you add a 6-kW power supply unit, the reserve power is 9 kW (3 kW for three power supply units on the same grid), and the available power is 9 kW (3 kW for three power supply units on a second grid). The available power meets the switch usage requirements, so you can power up the entire switch.
Table 6-6 shows the results for each scenario.

Information About Modules
The following sections explain how you can manage operations for the switch modules:
•
Supervisor Modules
•
I/O Modules
•
Fabric Modules
Supervisor Modules
The Cisco Nexus 7010 switch has one or two supervisor modules. When it has two supervisors, one supervisor is automatically active while the other is in standby mode. If the active supervisor goes down or is disconnected for replacement, the standby supervisor automatically becomes active. To understand the terms used for the supervisors, see Table 6-7.
Supervisor modules are automatically powered up and started with the switch.
Table 6-7 Supervisor Module Terms and Usage in Console Displays
Module Terms
|
Fixed or Relative
|
Usage
|
module-5 and module-6
|
Fixed usage
|
module-5 always refers to the supervisor module in slot 5 and module-6 always refers to the supervisor module in slot 6.
|
sup-1 and sup-2
|
Fixed usage
|
sup-1 always refers to the supervisor module in slot 5 and sub-2 always refers to the supervisor module in slot 6.
|
sup-active and sup-standby
|
Relative usage
|
sup-active refers to the active supervisor module—relative to the slot that contains the active supervisor module.
sup-standby refers to the standby supervisor module—relative to the slot that contains the standby supervisor module.
|
sup-local and sup-remote
|
Relative usage
|
If you are logged into the active supervisor, sup-local refers to the active supervisor module and sup-remote refers to the standby supervisor module.
If you are logged into the standby supervisor, sup-local refers to the standby supervisor module (the one that you are logged into.) There is no sup-remote available from the standby supervisor module (you cannot access a file system on the active supervisor).
|
I/O Modules
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches support the following I/O modules in slots 1 through 4 and 7 through 10:
•
48-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet module
•
48-port 1 Gigabit Ethernet module
•
32-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module
Fabric Modules
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches support up to five fabric modules in the back of the chassis.
Verifying the Status of a Module
Before you begin configuring the switch, you need to ensure that the modules in the chassis are functioning as designed. To verify the status of a module at any time, enter the show module command. The interfaces in each module are ready to be configured when the ok status is displayed in the show module command output. See Example 6-5.
Example 6-5 Displaying Module Information
Mod Ports Module-Type Model Status
--- ----- -------------------------------- ------------------ ------------
6 0 Supervisor module-1X N7K-SUP1 active *
Mod Sw Hw World-Wide-Name(s) (WWN)

--- -------------------------------------- ----------
6 00-1b-54-c1-20-90 to 00-1b-54-c1-28-90 JAB1152011J
The Status column in the output should display an ok status for switching modules and an active or standby (or HA-standby) status for supervisor modules. If the status is either ok or active, you can continue with your configuration.
Note
A standby supervisor module reflects the HA-standby status if the HA switchover mechanism is enabled. If the warm switchover mechanism is enabled, the standby supervisor module reflects the standby status.
For information about the states through which a switching module progresses, see the "Checking the State of a Module" section.
Checking the State of a Module
If your chassis has more than one I/O module, you can check the progress by repeatedly using the show module command and viewing the Status column each time.
The I/O module goes through a testing and an initializing stage before displaying an ok status. Table 6-8 describes the possible states in which a module can exist.
Table 6-8 Module States

Shutting Down Modules
This section includes the following topics:
•
Shutting Down a Supervisor or I/O Module
•
Shutting Down a Fabric Module
Shutting Down a Supervisor or I/O Module
To perform a graceful shutdown of a supervisor or I/O module, use the out-of-service module command to specify the slot with that module as follows:
switch# out-of-service module slot
Shutting Down a Fabric Module
To perform a graceful shutdown of a fabric module, use the out-of-service xbar command to specify the fabric slot with that module as follows:
switch# out-of-service xbar slot
Information About Module Temperature
This section includes the following topics:
•
Overview of Module Temperatures
•
Displaying the Module Temperature
Overview of Module Temperatures
Built-in, automatic sensors are provided in all switches in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series to monitor your switch at all times.
Each module (supervisor, I/O, and fabric) has temperature sensors with two thresholds:
•
Minor temperature threshold—When a minor threshold is exceeded, a minor alarm occurs and the following actions occur for all four sensors:
–
System messages are displayed.
–
Call Home alerts are sent (if configured).
–
SNMP notifications are sent (if configured).
•
Major temperature threshold—When a major threshold is exceeded, a major alarm occurs and the following actions occur:
–
For sensors 1, 3, and 4 (outlet and onboard sensors), the following actions occur:
System messages are displayed.
Call Home alerts are sent (if configured).
SNMP notifications are sent (if configured).
–
For sensor 2 (intake sensor), the following actions occur:
If the threshold is exceeded in a switching module, only that module is shut down.
If the threshold is exceeded in an active supervisor module with HA-standby or standby present, only that supervisor module is shut down and the standby supervisor module takes over.
If you do not have a standby supervisor module in your switch, you have 2 minutes to decrease the temperature. During this interval, the software monitors the temperature every 5 seconds and continuously sends system messages as configured.
Tip
We recommend that you install dual supervisor modules. If you are using a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch without dual supervisor modules, we recommend that you immediately replace the fan module if just one fan is not working.
Note
A threshold value of -127 indicates that no thresholds are configured or applicable.
Displaying the Module Temperature
You can display temperature readings for module temperature sensors by using the show environment temperature command. See Example 6-6.

Reloading Modules
You can reload the entire switch, reset specific modules in the switch, or reload the image on specific modules in the switch.
This section includes the following topics:
•
Reloading the Switch
•
Power Cycling Modules
Reloading the Switch
To reload the switch, use the reload command without any options. When you use this command, you reboot the switch.
Note
If you need to use the reload command, be sure to save the running configuration by using the copy running-config startup-config command beforehand.
Power Cycling Modules
To power cycle any module, follow these steps:
Step 1
Identify the module that needs to be reset.
Step 2
Reset the identified module by entering the reload module command. This command power cycles the selected module.
switch# reload module number
The number indicates the slot in which the identified module resides.
Caution 
Reloading a module disrupts traffic through the module.
Saving the Module Configuration
To save the new configuration to nonvolatile storage, use the copy running-config startup-config command from EXEC mode. Once you enter this command, the running and the startup copies of the configuration are identical.
Table 6-9 displays various scenarios when module configurations are preserved or lost.
.
Table 6-9 Switching Module Configuration Status
Scenario
|
Consequence
|
A particular switching module is removed and you used the copy running-config startup-config command again.
|
The configured module information is lost.
|
A particular switching module is removed and the same switching module is replaced before you enter the copy running-config startup-config command again.
|
The configured module information is preserved.
|
A particular switching module is removed and replaced with the same type switching module, and you entered the reload module number command.
|
The configured module information is preserved.
|
A particular switching module is reloaded when you enter the reload module number command.
|
The configured module information is preserved.
|
Purging the Module Configuration
To delete the configuration in an empty slot or in a slot with a powered-down I/O module, use the purge module slot running-config command from EXEC mode. This command clears the running configuration for the specified slot. This command does not work on supervisor modules or on any slot that currently has a powered-up module. This command only works on an empty slot (where the specified module once resided) or on a slot with a powered-down I/O module.
The purge module command clears the configuration for any module that previously existed in a slot and has since been removed or powered down. While the module was in that slot, some parts of the configuration may have been stored in the running configuration and cannot be reused (for example, IP addresses), unless you clear that from the running configuration.
For example, suppose you create an IP storage configuration with a 48-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet module in slot 3 in Switch A. This module uses IP address 10.1.5.500. You decide to remove this I/O module and move it to Switch B, and you no longer need the IP address 10.1.5.500. If you try to configure this unused IP address, you will receive an error message that prevents you from proceeding with the configuration. In this case, you need to enter the purge module 3 running-config command to clear the old configuration in Switch A before using this IP address.

Information About Fan Trays
Hot-swappable fan trays are provided in all switches in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series to manage airflow and cooling for the entire switch. Each fan tray contains multiple fans to provide redundancy. The switch can continue functioning in the following situations:
•
One or more fans fail within a fan tray—Even with multiple fan failures, the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch can continue functioning. When a fan fails within a tray, the functioning fans in the module increase their speed to compensate for the failed fans.
•
The fan tray is removed for replacement—The fan tray is designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system. When replacing a failed fan tray in a running system, be sure to promptly replace the fan tray.
Tip
If one or more fans fail within a fan tray, the Fan Status LED turns red. A fan failure could lead to temperature alarms if not corrected immediately.
The fan status is continuously monitored by the software. In case of a fan failure, these actions occur:
•
System messages are displayed.
•
Call Home alerts are sent (if configured).
•
SNMP notifications are sent (if configured).
Use the show environment fan command to display the fan module status (see Example 6-8).
Example 6-8 Displays Chassis Fan Information
switch# show environment fan
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
Chassis DS-9SLOT-FAN 1.2 ok
The possible Status field values for a fan module on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches are as follows:
•
If the fan module is operating properly, the status is ok.
•
If the fan is physically absent, the status is absent.
•
If the fan is physically present but not working properly, the status is failure.
On the Cisco Nexus 7010, each system fan module has 15 fans. If the State field for one of these fans contains "failure" in the show environment fan command output, it also displays the number of the failing fans (see Example 6-9).

EPLD Configuration
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches contain several programmable logical devices (PLDs) that provide hardware functionalities in all modules. Cisco provides electronic programmable logical device (EPLD) image upgrades to enhance hardware functionality or to resolve known issues. PLDs include electronic programmable logical devices (EPLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), but they do not include ASICs. In this document, the term EPLD is used for FPGA and CPLDs.
The great advantage of having EPLDs for some module functions is that when you need to upgrade those functions, you just upgrade their software images instead of replacing their hardware.
Note
EPLD image upgrades for an I/O module disrupt the traffic going through the module because the module must power down briefly during the upgrade. The system performs EPLD upgrades on one module at a time, so at any one time the upgrade disrupts only the traffic going through one module.
Cisco Systems does not provide upgrade EPLD images very frequently, and you do not have to upgrade your EPLD images unless they fix the functions for the hardware that you are using in your Cisco Nexus 7000 switch. The EPLD image upgrades are independent from the Cisco NX-OS In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) process, which upgrades the system and kickstart images with no impact on the network environment.
When Cisco makes an EPLD image upgrade available, the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series FPGA/EPLD Upgrade Release Notes announce their availability, and you can download them from http://www.cisco.com.

Deciding When to Upgrade EPLDs
It is not always necessary to upgrade EPLD images; however, when new EPLD images are available, the upgrades are always recommended if your network environment allows for a maintenance period in which some level of traffic disruption is acceptable. If such a disruption is not acceptable at this time, then it is best to postpone the upgrade until a better time.
Table 6-10 provides high-level guidelines to help network administrators determine whether an EPLD upgrade is necessary.

Note
To list the EPLDs running on your switch, use the show version module_number epld command. If any of the versions that you list are older than what is listed in Table 6-12, it is recommended that you update the EPLDs.
EPLD Images Needed for vPC
The virtual port channel (vPC) feature is available beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3). When you enable vPC on the chassis, you must have EPLD Release 186.3 on the 32-port 10 Gbps Ethernet IO modules (N7K-M132XP-12).
Note
The EPLD upgrade operation is a disruptive operation. You should execute this operation only at a programmed maintenance time. The system/kickstart ISSU upgrade is a nondisruptive upgrade.
Most of the N7K-M132XP-12 modules in the chassis already meet this minimum EPLD requirement, but if you are working with a N7K-M132XP-12 module that was shipped before June 2008, you might need to upgrade the EPLD version.
To determine the EPLD version for all N7K-M132XP-12 modules, enter the show version module module_id epld. If the line FE Bridge(x) version displays a version earlier than 186.3 (for example, 186.2), you should schedule an EPLD upgrade to a version that is compatible with the target NX-OS release. For example, if you want to run Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3), you should choose Release 4.1(3) EPLDs.
The following example shows Release 186.3 on the FE Bridge line, which is the correct EPLD version:
Nexus-7k(config)# show ver mod 7 epld

Installation Guidelines
You can upgrade (or downgrade) EPLDs using CLI commands on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch. Follow these guidelines when you upgrade or downgrade EPLDs:
•
Before you upgrade any EPLD images, be sure that you have updated the Cisco NX-OS operating system to the level required for the images.
•
You can execute an upgrade from the active supervisor module only. All the modules, including the active supervisor module, can be updated individually.
•
You can individually update each module whether it is online or offline as follows:
–
If you upgrade EPLD images on an online module, only the EPLD images with version numbers that differ from the new EPLD images are upgraded.
–
If you upgrade EPLD images on an offline module, all of the EPLD images are upgraded.
•
On a system that has two supervisor modules, upgrade the EPLDs for the standby supervisor and then switch the active supervisor to the standby mode to upgrade its EPLDs (the supervisor switchover is not disruptive to traffic on Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches). On a switch that has only one supervisor module, you can upgrade the active supervisor, but this will distrupt its operations during the upgrade.
•
If you interrupt an upgrade, you must upgrade the module that is being upgraded again.
•
The upgrade process disrupts traffic on the targeted module.
•
Do not insert or remove any modules while an EPLD upgrade is in progress.

Preparing the EPLD Images for Installation
Before you can update the EPLD images for each of your system modules, you must determine the Cisco NX-OS version that your system is using, make sure that there is space for the new EPLD images, and download the images.
To prepare the EPLD images for installation, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the switch through the console port, an SSH session, or a Telnet session.
Step 2
Verify that the switch is using the expected version of the Cisco NX-OS operating system. The kickstart and system lines indicate the Cisco NX-OS version. This step determines the versions of EPLD images that you must download.

Step 3
Verify that you have 120 MB of free space on the active or standby supervisor memory devices for the EPLD images that you will be downloading by using the dir bootflash: or dir slot0: commands. By default, these commands display the used and free memory for the active supervisor. If your switch has an additional supervisor (a standby supervisor), use the show module command to find the module number for the other supervisor, use the attach module command to attach to the module number, and then use the dir bootflash: or dir slot0: command to determine the amount of used and free memory. See Example 6-10 to determine the amount of available bootflash memory, and see Example 6-11 to determine the amount of available slot0 memory.

switch# copy bootflash:n7000-s1-epld.4.0.2.img
bootflash://sup-standby/n7000-s1-epld.4.0.2.img
You are ready to upgrade the EPLD images (see the "Upgrading EPLD Images" section).
Upgrading EPLD Images
When you start upgrading the EPLD images for a module, the Cisco NX-OS software tries to list the current and new versions for each EPLD. If the module is installed and online, the software reports both the installed and new versions of each EPLD, and where there is a difference, the software upgrades (or downgrades) to the new version when you confirm that the upgrade should occur. For a module that is installed but offline, the software cannot determine the installed versions of its EPLDs so it upgrades all of the EPLDs for that module when you confirm the upgrade. For a module that is not installed, the software displays an error message and does not upgrade the EPLDs.
Example 6-12 shows how the software reports the current and new EPLD versions for a module that does not need EPLD upgrades. The current and new version numbers for each EPLD are the same.
Example 6-12 EPLD Version Comparison Report—No Upgrade Needed
-------------------------------------------------------
Forwarding Engine 1.6 1.6
Example 6-13 shows how the software reports the current and new EPLD versions for a module that has EPLD images that can be upgraded. According to this report, each of the downloaded Linksec Engine EPLDs has a different version than the same EPLD on the module, so the software will upgrade those EPLDs but will not upgrade the other EPLDs that have the same version numbers. If the new versions have a smaller version number compared to the current version, the software downgrades the versions.
Example 6-13 EPLD Version Comparison Report—Upgrade Needed

The following sections explain how to upgrade the EPLD images for I/O and standby modules, the active supervisor module on single-supervisor systems, fabric modules, and fan tray modules:
•
Upgrading the EPLD Images for I/O or Standby Supervisor Modules
•
Upgrading EPLDs for the Active Supervisor Module
•
Upgrading EPLDs for a Fabric Module
•
Upgrading EPLDs for a Fan Tray Module
Upgrading the EPLD Images for I/O or Standby Supervisor Modules
You can upgrade the EPLD images for an I/O module or standby supervisor module while the switch is operational. If you need to upgrade EPLD images for a single-supervisor module, see the "Upgrading EPLDs for the Active Supervisor Module" section.
Caution 
Upgrading EPLD images for an online I/O module can disrupt traffic going through that module.
To upgrade EPLDs for an I/O module or the standby supervisor module, follow these steps:
Step 1
Determine the slot number for each module by entering the show module command.

Do you want to continue (y/n) ? Y
Step 4
For releases 4.0(2) or earlier, if you updated the power management EPLD image, you must reset the power for the module so that EPLD can take effect (this is not required for release 4.0(3) or later). You can reset the power in one of the following two ways:
•
To reset the power for the module, physically remove the module and reinstall it.
Note
A module reload or just pressing the ejector buttons on the module is not sufficient for this reset requirement.
•
To reset the entire switch, power cycle the switch.
To confirm the EPLD upgrade, see the "Displaying EPLD Versions for an I/O or Supervisor Module" section.
Caution 
Resetting the power disrupts any data traffic going through the affected modules. If you power cycle the entire switch, all data traffic going through the switch at the time of the power cycling is disrupted. This is not necessary for release 4.0(3) or later.
Note
As of release 4.0(3) or later, the switch automatically loads the new power management EPLD after an upgrade, so it is no longer necessary to reset the power for the module or system.
Upgrading EPLDs for the Active Supervisor Module
When you upgrade EPLDs on a system with only one supervisor module, data traffic on the switch will be affected when you reload the system after the upgrade. If you are upgrading EPLDs for a switch with two supervisor modules, you can upgrade the standby supervisor while the system is operational as explained in the "Upgrading the EPLD Images for I/O or Standby Supervisor Modules" section.
To upgrade EPLDs for the supervisor module in a system with a single supervisor module, follow these steps:
Step 1
Determine the slot number for each module. The active supervisor is in either slot 5 or slot 6.

Step 4
For releases 4.0(2) or earlier, if you updated the power management EPLD image, you must reset the power for the module so that EPLD can take effect (this is not required for release 4.0(3) or later). You can reset the power in one of the following two ways:
•
To reset the power for the module, physically remove the module and reinstall it.
Note
A module reload or just pressing the ejector buttons on the module is not sufficient for this reset requirement.
•
To reset the entire switch, power cycle the system.
To confirm the EPLD upgrade, see the "Displaying EPLD Versions for an I/O or Supervisor Module" section.
Caution 
Resetting the power disrupts any data traffic going through the affected modules. If you power cycle the entire switch, all data traffic going through the switch at the time of the power cycling is disrupted. This is not necessary for release 4.0(3) or later.
Note
As of release 4.0(3), the switch automatically loads the new power management EPLD after an upgrade, so it is no longer necessary to reset the power for the module or switch.
Upgrading EPLDs for a Fabric Module
You can upgrade EPLDs for a fabric (Xbar) module while the system is operational as long as at least one other fabric module is operational.
To upgrade EPLDs for a fabric module, follow these steps:
