Installing BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface modules in Brocade MLXe Series routers
•
Use show chassis command to determine if you need additional power supplies.
•
For installation in an MLXe-32 chassis, configure the chassis differently based on whether it has a Gen-1 module or not.
•
The following conditions may prevent a BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface module from coming up properly:
–
BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface modules require the snmp-server max-ifindex-per-module 40|64 configured.
Otherwise, the cards will not come up.
NOTE
Not all features available in NetIron R05.4.00 are supported on the BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface module. To verify if a
particular feature is supported with the BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface module, refer to the latest version of the Multi-Service

For maximum performance, you must operate your BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface module with high speed switch fabric
modules in turbo mode. For information on switch fabric modules, refer to
Installation procedure
When installing modules, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the router chassis or other suitable

3.
For MLXe-32 installations only:
a)
If the chassis has a Gen-1 module, enter the following commands.
device# config
device(config)# system-init mlxe32-24x10g-enable max-tm-queue-4
device(config)# system-init fabric-data-mode force-normal
device# write memory
device# reload
b)
If the chassis has no Gen-1 module, enter the following commands.
device# config
device(config)# system-init mlxe32-24x10g-enable
device# write memory
