# SANbox2-64 Hot Swap Wizard

The Hot Swap Wizard (SANbox2-64 only) is a series of dialogs that walk you through the process of replacing, removing, or inserting an I/O blade while the switch is running. Each type of procedure uses its own set of dialogs within the Hot Swap Wizard. The current step in the hot swap procedure is highlighted in the left side of the Hot Swap Wizard dialog.

Note: The Hot Swap Wizard is only available to the out-of-band switch. You can not use the Hot Swap Wizard over an inter-switch link.

Always perform the hot swap procedure as prompted by the wizard, otherwise the switch may become unresponsive. For example, if you install a blade in the wrong slot, proceed as though you no mistake had been made and follow the rest of the procedures. When complete, perform the operation again with the correct slot. If the switch becomes unresponsive, you must power cycle the switch.
