Dell S4820T - Linecard Online Insertion and Removal

Linecard Online Insertion and Removal
Dell Networking OS detects the line card type when you insert a line card into a online chassis.
Dell Networking OS writes the line card type to the running-config and maintains this information as a
logical configuration if you remove the card (or the card fails).
