Installing a Brocade MLX-4 router
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
5. Tighten the screws to secure the router in place. For extra support, use additional screws.
NOTE
For better grounding of the router to the rack, attach the router using star washers. You should also use star washers with any
single-hole grounding lugs to keep the lugs from rotating.
6. Repeat step 2 through step 5 to mount each router in the rack, moving from lowest to highest.
Installing Brocade MLX-4 modules
The Brocade MLX-4 router ships with the required switch fabric modules installed.
The sequence for installing multiple modules is important to ensure proper fit. The recommended sequence for the Brocade MLX-4
router is to install right-to-left, beginning with the lowest row and moving up.
Installation procedures are identical for interface, management, and switch fabric modules.
Installing 2x100GbE interface modules
For instructions on installing 2x100GbE interface modules, refer to “Installing 2x100GbE interface modules in Brocade MLX routers” on
page 43.
NOTE
Because of the possibility of overheating, 2x100GbE interface modules should not be installed in the top slot of a Brocade MLX
4-slot or a NetIron XMR4000 chassis. There are no heat limitations for Brocade MLXe devices.
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.
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 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.
NOTE
Brocade MLX modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in Brocade MLX routers only. If you install a
Brocade MLX management module in another Brocade device, or install a management 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, and how to manage redundancy.
