DANGER
The intra-building port or ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed
wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port or 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 MLXe Series modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the Brocade MLXe Series router only.
If you try to install a Brocade MLXe Series module in a non-Brocade MLXe Series router, or install a module intended for a
non-Brocade MLXe Series router in a Brocade MLXe Series 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.
The following table identifies the router slot numbers where the modules must be installed. An identifying label can be seen at the base
of each slot.
TABLE 29 Brocade MLXe Series-8 module slot designations
Module Slot number
Management modules Active module - M1 (left).Redundant module - M2 (right).
Interface modules 1 - 8
Switch fabric modules SF1 - SF3
For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, refer to Disabling and re-enabling power to interface
modules on page 224.
If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to the chapter titled "Using a Redundant Management Module" in the
Brocade NetIron MLX Series
and Brocade NetIron Family Configuration Guide for information about how the redundant module works,
optional software configurations, and how to manage redundancy.
Before installing a module in the Brocade MLXe Series-8 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 router.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
You can install modules while the router is powered on and running.
The router ships with slot blanks installed in all empty module slots. The slot blanks help ensure proper airflow inside the router. You must
remove the slot blank to install a module.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the chassis
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
Although the slot blanks differ in size, the procedure for removing them is identical. You will need a flat-blade screwdriver to perform this
task.
