Installing a PowerConnect B-MLXe-8 router
Installing PowerConnect B-MLXe-8 modules
The sequence for installing multiple modules is important to ensure proper fit. The recommended
sequence for the PowerConnect B-MLXe-8 router is to install right-to-left, beginning with the lowest
row and moving up.
NOTE
installation instructions are identical for interface, management, and switch fabric modules.
DANGER
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly are suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building 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 4) 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
PowerConnect B-MLXe modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the
PowerConnect B-MLXe router only. If you try to install a PowerConnect B-MLXe module in a
non-PowerConnect B-MLXe router, or install a module intended for a non-PowerConnect B-MLXe
router in a PowerConnect B-MLXe router, the router and module will not function properly.

label can be seen at the base of each slot.

NOTE
The PowerConnect B-MLXe-8 router ships with the required switch fabric modules installed.

If you do not install a module in a slot, you must leave the slot blank installed in the slot. If you
run the router with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.
