Installing a Brocade MLX-32 router
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in
GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5) 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.
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must leave the slot blank installed in the slot. If you operate the
router with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.
Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge any static charge stored on the cable by touching
the electrical contacts to ground surface.
NOTE
Brocade MLX modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the Brocade MLX routers only. If you install a
Brocade MLX module in another Brocade device or install a module intended for another Brocade device in a Brocade MLX
router, the router and module will not function properly.
Although management modules are designed to be hot-swappable, you must upgrade the software on all interface modules and
management modules to the appropriate software release before installing them. For more information on the appropriate
software release, refer to the Hardware Installation Notes that shipped with the management module.
If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to the chapter titled “Using a Redundant Management Module” in the Brocade
MLX Series and Brocade NetIron Family Configuration Guide
for information about how the redundant module works, optional software
configurations that you can perform, and how to manage the redundancy feature.
For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, see “Disabling and re-enabling power to interface
modules” on page 211
Before installing modules in the Brocade MLX-32 router, have the following items available:
•
A large flat-blade screwdriver.
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the Brocade MLX-32 router.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 megohm series resistor.
If you are hot-swapping a module, allow a minimum of two seconds after a module (or power supply or fan
tray) has been removed before inserting a module in the same slot.
Follow this procedure to install a module in the Brocade MLX router.
