Power On a Line Card

Identify the prerequisite and subsequent tasks you must perform in conjunction with this procedure, to achieve a goal.
See the table in Servicing the Line Cards.
Power on and activate the line card using the enablestby and activate commands.
For example, to power on line card 8:
```
# enablestby lc 8
lc 8 is now enabled
#
```
```
# activate lc 8
#
```
If necessary, upgrade the firmware inside the line card:
See Upgrading the Firmware.

(Optional) Display and record the line card FRU ID information:

# clia fruinfo IPMB_address 0

where IPMB_address is from Component Addressing.
