Page 44: Switch Fabric Modules
Brocade MLX Series and NetIron XMR router switch fabric modules are dedicated, which means that they function properly in these routers only. If you attempt to install a Brocade MLX Series or NetIron XMR router switch fabric module in another Brocade device or a switch fabric module intended for another Brocade device in a Brocade MLX Series or NetIron XMR router, the router and switch fabric module will not function properly.
Page 45: High-Speed Switch Fabric Modules
HSF modules are supported on Brocade MLX Series and NetIron XMR routers, and are interoperable with all existing interface modules. HSF modules are hot-swappable, which means you can install or replace them while the system is powered up and running.
