Nortel Passport 8691SF Important Information

Important Information about the Passport 8691SF Module

This Passport 8691SF Switch Fabric Module is a direct replacement for the Passport 8690SF Switch
Fabric Module. In the Passport 8000 Series document set, all the information describing the Passport
8690SF module also applies to the Passport 8691SF module. The Passport 8691SF module has an
additional LED (the MZ LED on the front panel) that is reserved for future development; it is
nonfunctional at this time.
The Passport 8691SF module is shipped with the current Passport 8000 Series software release 3.0.4.
and Passport 8000 Series software release 3.1.2. The Passport 8691SF module will boot with the
3.0.4 software image by default. If your Passport 8600 switch contains a Passport 8690SF module
and a Passport 8691SF module, both modules must use the same release version of the software.
The Passport 8003 chassis, Passport 8010co chassis, and the Passport 8632TXE module require
software release 3.1.2 installed on the switch fabric CPU module. Previous versions of the software
will result in an error message notifying the user of an unknown chassis or module.
