To configure the device chassis mode

Before you begin

The device chassis mode must be set to indicate the minimum IOM or IMM card type that is initialized by the NE. This also determines other features available to the system. The behavior of the installed card depends on the chassis mode configured on the device. See Shelf objects in the NFM-P navigation tree and Working with card and card slot objects for more information about chassis modes and card types.

Steps
 
1 

On the equipment tree, expand Network→NE→Shelf.

2 

Right-click on the Shelf object and choose Properties. The Shelf (Edit) form opens.

3 

Configure the parameters:

  • Administrative Mode

    If you downgrade the administrative chassis mode, the device must be rebooted to change the operational chassis mode.

  • Force Mode

    Forcing a chassis mode change does not change the operational chassis mode unless there is a compatible card type equipped on the device. See Shelf objects in the NFM-P navigation tree for more information about the minimum card type that must be installed for each chassis mode.

4 

Save your changes and close the form.
