Installing PowerConnect B-MLXe-4 modules
The sequence for installing multiple modules is important to ensure proper fit. The recommended
sequence for the PowerConnect B-MLXe-4 router is to install right-to-left, beginning with the lowest
row and moving up.
NOTE
Installation procedures are identical for interface, management and switch fabric modules.
DANGER
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of the equipment or
subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant
(OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2
or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed
OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect
these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
NOTE
PowerConnect B-MLXe modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in
PowerConnect B-MLXe routers only. If you install a PowerConnect B-MLXe module in a
non-PowerConnect B-MLXe router, or install a module intended for a non-PowerConnect B-MLXe
router in a PowerConnect B-MLXe router, the router and module will not function properly.
For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, see “Disabling and
re-enabling power to interface modules” on page 99
Table 13 identifies the router slot numbers where the modules must be installed. An identifying
label can be seen at the base of each slot.
