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 NetIron XMR modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in a Brocade
NetIron XMR router only. For example, if you install the Brocade NetIron XMR module in another
Brocade device or install a module intended for another Brocade device in the Brocade NetIron XMR
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.
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
Table 41
provides the slot numbers where you can install modules. Identification marks appear a
the base of each slot.
The Brocade NetIron XMR 8000 router ships with slot blanks installed in all empty module slots.
The slot blanks cover empty slots, ensuring proper airflow within the router. Before you install a
module in a slot, you must remove the slot blank.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you operate the
router with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat. Tighten the screws that secure the slot
blanks so that they remain in place when removing adjacent panels or modules.
Although slot blanks differ in size, the procedure for removing them is the same. You will need a
flat-blade screwdriver to perform this task.
Follow the steps to remove a slot blank.
1. Loosen the screws on either end of the slot blank by hand or with a flat blade screwdriver.
2. Pull the slot blank out of the router, and store it in a safe place for future use.
NOTE
If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to
Brocade MLX Series and Brocade
NetIron Family Configuration Guide
, Chapter 8: Using a Redundant Management Module, for
information about how the redundant module works, optional software configurations, and how to
manage redundancy.
