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.

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.
