Removing The Slot Panels; Installing Management And Interface Modules - Brocade Communications Systems FastIron SX Hardware Installation Manual

Removing the slot panels

The chassis ships with a slot panel installed in each empty module slot, ensuring proper airflow within the chassis. If you plan to install a
module in a particular slot, you must first remove the slot panel.
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 panels may differ in size, the procedure for removing them is the same. The procedure in this section applies to all
module slot panels.
You need a #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver to perform this task.
To remove a slot panel, complete the following tasks.
1. Loosen the screws on either end of the slot panel with a #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver.
2. Pull the slot panel out of the chassis and store it in a safe place for future use.

Installing management and interface modules

This section provides the procedures for installing management and interface modules. Although the modules may differ in size and
function, the procedure for installing them in the chassis is the same. The procedure described in this section applies to all FastIron X
Series devices.
FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules are hot swappable, which means you can remove and insert them while the chassis is
powered on and running.
NOTE
Management modules are dedicated, which means you must install them in the appropriate device.
You cannot mix Second Generation and Third Generation 3 modules together in the same chassis.
Because 48-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet POE+ interface modules (SX-FI48GPP) occupy two vertical half-slots in the FastIron
SX 800 or 1600 device, they can be installed in certain slots only. The table below shows the slot numbers into which you must install
management and interface modules. The following figures show the chassis with slot numbers:
• FSX 800 - FSX 800 chassis
• FSX 1600 - FSX 1600 chassis
