If you replace an SSM with another SSM and the boot image is on bootflash:, respectively, you can
leave the boot image installed on the active supervisor.
If you replace an SSM with another SSM and the SSI boot image is on the modflash:, the SSM might
not initialize. See the "Recovering an SSM After Replacing Corrupted CompactFlash Memory"
section on page 19-33.
If you replace an SSM with any other module, you can leave the boot image installed on the active
supervisor or remove it. The active supervisor module detects the module type and boots the module
appropriately.
If you replace a supervisor module in a switch with active and standby supervisors, no action is
required because the boot image is automatically synchronized to the new supervisor module.
If you replace a supervisor module in a switch with no standby supervisor, you need to reimplement
the configuration on the new supervisor.
