NetIron MLX-32 Module Installation Details
The sequence for installing more than one card is important to ensure proper fit in the NetIron MLX-32 chassis.
When populating the NetIron MLX-32, start with the middle slot, and work towards the edge. Always fill the bottom
slots of the upper and lower card cage of the NetIron MLX-32 first. See “ NetIron MLX-32 Chassis” on page 2-5
for slot locations.
NOTE:
Do not insert interface modules running releases below 02.3.00 into slots 17 to 32 of a NetIron MLX-32
chassis. They should only be inserted into slots 1 to 16.
NOTE:
Any empty slots must contain slot blanks to ensure proper air flow within the chassis.
NOTE:
During the initially installation of the modules into a NetIron MLX 3200, Foundry recommends inserting
all the modules into the appropriate chassis slots before tightening the screws into the chassis.
