view the status of each slot. From the CLI operational mode, run
the following command:

State | Description |
|---|---|
Empty | The slot is empty and is ready to use. |
Up | The card is powered on and has a valid software configuration. |
Disabled | ( HA only ) The slot is not enabled.In
a high availability (HA) configuration, the NC slots stay in a disabled
state until you enable the slot. This is by design, so you can install
new NCs without causing a failover. After you insert matching NCs
in both firewalls, you then bring up both cards simultaneously. |
HA-Disabled | ( HA only ) After you enable a slot,
this status appears until both slots are ready.This also
occurs if the peer does not have a matching card in the same slot
number or the card in the peer is not ready. |
Stopping | The card is preparing for removal. |
Starting | The card is in the process of powering on
and the software is initiating. |
PowerOff | The card is powered down and ready for removal. |
AdminPowerOff | An administrator powered down the slot and
it will not be available until you power it back on. If there is
a slot that you want ignored in an HA configuration HA, put it in
this state. |
Failure | The card has failed and needs to be replaced. |
Unsupported | The card is not a supported type for this
slot. |
