When Populating the NetIron MLX-32 Chassis, the modules must be installed in the appropriate slots as shown in
Figure as follows:

Management Modules: management slots 1 and 2
•
Switch Fabric Modules: switch fabric slots 1-8
•
Interface Modules: Interface slots 1-32
Figure 3.27 Chassis Overview
Using the Insertion/Extraction Tool
Due to the high density of cables that the NetIron MLX-32 chassis can support, it may be difficult to insert and
remove the RJ-45 and optical connectors. An insertion/extraction tool has been provided in the NetIron MLX-32
accessory kit to make this task easier. See Figure 3.28.
