Installing the management and interface modules

To remove a slot panel, complete the following tasks.
1. Loosen the screws on either end of the slot panel with a #2 Phillips-head or flathead
screwdriver.
2. Pull the slot panel out of the chassis, and store it in a safe place for future use.
Installing the management and interface modules
This section provides the procedures for installing the management and interface modules.
Although the modules may differ in size and function, the procedure for installing each of them into
the chassis is the same. The procedure described in this section applies to all FastIron X Series
chassis devices.
The
FSX 800
and
FSX 1600
management modules are hot swappable, which means you can
remove and insert them while the chassis is powered on and running. This does not apply to the
FSX, which must be powered down before removing and inserting a management module.
NOTE
The management modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the
appropriate chassis. If you attempt to install the FSX management module in the
FSX 800
,
FSX
1600
, or other Brocade chassis, the chassis and module will not function properly. Likewise, if you
try to install the
FSX 800
or
FSX 1600
management module in the FSX or other Brocade chassis,
the chassis and module will not function properly.
NOTE
The interface modules are interchangeable among all FastIron X Series chassis devices. However,
if you try to install them in a Brocade chassis other than a FastIron X Series, the chassis and
interface modules will not function properly.

CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must leave the slot panel installed in the slot. If you
operate the chassis with an uncovered empty slot, the system will overheat.
Before installing a module in the chassis, have the following on hand:
