Fan Module 5 is not Hot-Swappable in Netra SPARC T3-1 and Netra SPARC T4-1 Servers (CR 7043996)

If the SNMP software performs an snmpget command on the object sunPlatCircuitPackHotSwappable for Fan Module 5, the true(1) variable is returned. This is incorrect. Fan Module 5 is not hot swappable. The server has to be powered off to replace Fan Module 5.

Workaround: None
