Anyone else run into this?

Subject: Cisco 6k no power enable module

Anyone know why Cisco doesn't allow for you to shut power down to a slot/module 
unless a FRU is installed in it? We can reproduce 100% multiple times in the 
lab WS-X6748-GE-TX installation's that causes the bus to stall 3 seconds. It 
has to do with the force you apply to the card during installation.

%C6KERRDETECT-SP-2-SWBUSSTALL: The switching bus is experiencing stall for 3 
seconds
%C6KERRDETECT-SP-2-SWBUSSTALL_RECOVERED: The switching bus stall is recovered 
and data traffic switching continues


Router(config)#no power enable module 8
%FRU Absent. Power admin state updated

The bus stall HAS to occur (and will occur) as to not corrupt data on insert and removal. This is why it is imperative that a) you do this during maintenance windows b) use DFCs.

You may not get the message all the time but it still occurs. So, I would say you installed in correctly. If you would have installed it incorrectly, the box would have crashed.

As for powering down a slot with no card, I never tried that. Interesting :)
