For instructions about installing BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface modules, refer to Installing BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface modules
in Brocade MLXe Series routers on page 91.
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.
The sequence for installing management, interface, and switch fabric modules is important to ensure proper fit in the Brocade MLXe
Series-32 router. When populating the router, start with the middle slot, and work towards the edge. Always fill the bottom slots of the
upper and lower card cage of the router first. Refer to
Brocade MLXe Series-32 router components on page 26 for slot locations.
During the initial installation of modules, it is recommended that you insert all the modules into the appropriate router slots before
tightening the module screws.
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.
When populating the 32-slot router, the modules must be installed in the appropriate slots:
• Management modules: management slots 1 and 2
• Switch fabric modules: switch fabric slots 1-8
• Interface modules: Interface slots 1-32
Refer to Brocade MLXe Series-32 router components on page 26 for the locations of these slots.
NOTE
Brocade MLXe Series modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the Brocade MLXe Series routers
only. If you install a Brocade MLXe Series module in another Brocade router or a module intended for another Brocade router
in the 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. 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 that you
can perform, and how to manage the redundancy feature.
Before installing modules in the Brocade MLXe Series-32 router, have the following items available:
• A large flat-head 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.
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.
