re-enabling power to interface modules” on page 321
DANGER
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly are 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 the Brocade MLX
router only. If you try to install a Brocade MLX module in another Brocade device, or install a module
intended for a 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.
Table 35 identifies the router slot numbers where the modules must be installed. An identifying
label can be seen at the base of each slot.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must leave the slot blank installed in the slot. If you
run the router with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.
Before installing a module in the Brocade MLX-8 router, have the following items available:
•
A large flat-blade screwdriver.
