Module Placement and Rules

The DFE‐Platinum module 7H4382‐25 can be installed in a SS6000, Matrix E7 (refer to
"Matrix
Matrix N3, Matrix N5, or Matrix N7 chassis. The Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, and
Matrix N7 chassis support only DFE Series modules and there are no particular rules for

SS6000 Chassis
The SS6000 chassis can support a mix of up to five first (6x1xx), second (6x2xx), and third
(6x3xx) generation modules and the DFE‐Platinum module 7H4382‐25. In this type of
installation, the 7H4382‐25 has connections to the other modules via FTM1, but is
configured and assigned its own IP address using the cli command set described in the
Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide. Each 7H4382‐25 installed in the
chassis is managed separately. The SS6000 chassis Local Management entity will not
recognize or display any 7H4382‐25 status information via its local management screens.
This information is obtained using the cli commands.
Rule: There are no particular rules for installing the 7H4382‐25 into a SS6000 chassis.
