Hi,

Below are few methods which you can choose:

It really depends on which Sup you want to replace ( I mean the one which is currently Active or the Standby sup).

 

Lets go step by step:

1st-- Think you want to replace the Standby Sup in the working chasis:

Answer: You need not have to worry, just remove the Standby Sup and install the new sup , Make sure the standby sup is running the same software version which Active has.

 

2nd- Replacing the Active Sup:

Answer: To avoid any distruption, failover to the Standby Sup so that the STandby Sup takes over the active role and then proceed with replacing the Active Sup.
