one more snip

 * With a PFC3BXL and no DFC3A-equipped switching modules installed at bootup,
   any DFC3A-equipped switching module installed after bootup remain powered down.
 * To use DFC3A-equipped switching modules with a PFC3BXL, the DFC3A-equipped switching
   modules must be installed at bootup.

And now question. If I correctly understand this too lines
I can't insert DFC3A-equipped switching modules to chassis
any time and start use. Is it true? and if yes then how about
'high avaibility solution'?
