Installing a Brocade MLX-16 router
Bottom fan tray (fan 5): Status = OK, Speed = LOW (50%)
Bottom fan tray (fan 6): Status = OK, Speed = LOW (50%)
Rev A Back Fan A (revision 0x09): Status = OK, Speed = LOW (50%)
Rev A Back Fan B (revision 0x0c): Status = OK, Speed = LOW (50%)
The output displays firmware Revision A (Rev A) for NIBI-16-FAN-EXH-A modules. Rev A indicates
that the router contains the required rear fan modules to support the NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A modules.
The RPM value thresholds (LOW/MED/MED-HI/HI) are also displayed for rear fan modules.
If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to the chapter titled "Using a
Redundant Management Module" in the Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron Family
Configuration Guide for information about how the redundant module works, optional software
configurations that you can perform, and how to manage the redundancy feature.
NOTE
Brocade MLX modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in a Brocade MLX
router only. If you install a Brocade MLX module in another Brocade device or install a module
intended for another Brocade device in a Brocade MLX router, the router and module may 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.
Before installing modules in the Brocade MLX-16 router, have the following items available:

DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 megohm series resistor.
The Brocade MLX-16 router ships with slot blanks installed in all empty module slots. The slot
blanks help ensure proper airflow inside the router. You must remove the slot blank to install a
module in a slot.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the device
with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat. Tighten the screws that secure the slot blanks
so that they remain in place when removing adjacent panels or modules.
Although the slot blanks differ in size, the procedure for removing them is identical. You will need a
flat-blade screwdriver to perform this task.
Follow these steps to remove a slot blank.
