You can have SSO mode when done, but you'll need a power-off event to 
make the conversion happen.  Assuming you're in native mode now, just 
save the configuration, prepare any changes needed for supervisor ports 
(moving from slots 1/2 to 7/8) or linecards (moving from slots 7/8 to 
1/2), etc.  You can save the config to a computer, and using a CF reader 
copy the config onto a CF card so you can more easily get the new 
chassis up and running.
