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.
CAUTION
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.
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 321
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.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 megohm series resistor.
CAUTION
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.
1. If you are installing a module into a slot which may have been configured for a different module
type, remove the old configuration information by following these steps:
