Cat 4507R - Blade upgrade from 100Mbps to 1000Mbps online

Hi All,

I am trying to upgrade 100Mbps blade with 1Gbps blade on Cisco 4507R switch.

Is it possible to install and upgrade it online (hot swappable) without
switching off the entire switch?

Old Blade - WS-X4248-RJ45V (10/100BaseTX)

New Blade - WS-X4548-GB-RJ45 (10/100/1000BaseT)

Chassis - WS-C4507R

IOS - 12.2(25)EWA7

Please note that this is a production switch. However enough down time is
taken. I know this is not advisable from Cisco but wanted to check if any of
fellow members has tried this before?

Many Thanks
