Install, Remove, and Replace the Network Module
You can remove and replace the network module in the Firepower 2130 and 2140 (the Firepower 2110 and 2120 do not support network modules). Although the hardware supports removing and replacing the network module while the system is running, the software does not currently support hot swapping. You must power down the chassis to remove and replace network modules. See Network Modules for more information.
This procedure describes how to install a network module into an empty slot that has never contained a network module, and how to remove an installed network module and replace it with another network module.
