Installing Netiron Xmr 16000 Modules - Brocade Communications Systems MLX Series Hardware Installation Manual

5. Tighten the screws to secure the router.
NOTE
For better grounding of the router to the rack, attach the router using star washers. You can also use
star washers with single-hole grounding lugs to prevent rotation of the lug.

Installing NetIron XMR 16000 modules

The NetIron XMR 16000 router ships with the required switch fabric modules installed.
The procedure in this section applies to all modules. The sequence for installing multiple modules
is important to ensure proper fit. For the NetIron XMR 16000 router, start with the lowest row, and
move upwards, installing modules from left to right.
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 NetIron XMR routers
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"
