You can shut down a module by using the poweroff module command to specify the module by its slot
number in the chassis.
You can power up a module by using the no poweroff module command to specify the module by its slot
number in the chassis.
To determine the slot number for a module, use the show inventory command.
Note
You can use this command with software-controlled modules, such as supervisors, system controllers,
line cards, fabric modules, fan trays, and power supplies. It does not work with modules that are not
controlled by software, such as blank modules installed in empty slots to control airflow.

Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
