Installing a NetIron XMR 4000 router
For instructions about installing 2x100GbE interface modules, refer to
interface modules in NetIron XMR routers"
DANGER
The intra-building port or ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port or ports of the
equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the
outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building
interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5) and require
isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient
protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
NOTE
NetIron XMR modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the NetIron XMR
router only. For example, if you install a NetIron XMR module in another Brocade router or install a
module intended for another Brocade router in the NetIron XMR router, the router and module will
not function properly.
Although management modules are designed to be hot-swappable, you must upgrade the software
on all interface modules and management modules to the appropriate software release before
installing them. For more information on the appropriate software release, refer to the Hardware
Installation Notes that shipped with the management module.
For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, see
re-enabling power to interface modules"

If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to the Brocade MLX Series and
Brocade NetIron Family Configuration Guide, Chapter 8, Using a Redundant Management Module,
for information about how the redundant module works, optional software configurations, and how
to manage redundancy.

The NetIron XMR 4000 router ships with slot blanks installed in all module slots. Slot blanks cover
empty slots to ensure proper airflow. To install a module, first remove the slot blank from the
module slot.
