Is it possible to hot swap a stacking module on a X460-G2 switch?

All switches have a max of 8 nodes in a stack.

Thanks Ryan for the welcome. Can I ask just you another little question? What is the maximum numbers of switches in a X460-G2 stack? Thanks again.

Yes....and a big purple welcome to Carol.

Thanks for joining the Hub. We're glad you're here and rocking an Summit X460-G2!

Hi Carol,
No, you must power down the switch to swap the modules.
Here's a GTAC Knowledge article to reference on this topic: Is it possible to hotswap VIM modules on Summit series switches?

haha, I don't think it will blow up, but it might be pretty grumpy 🙂
There is risk to hardware and in the lab, I've seen switches reboot themselves when not powered off during a module swap.
