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 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
Brocade MLXe modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the Brocade MLXe
router only. If you try to install a Brocade MLXe module in a non-Brocade MLXe router, or install a
module intended for a non-Brocade MLXe router in a Brocade MLXe 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.

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, and how to manage redundancy.
Before installing a module in the Brocade MLXe-8 router, have the following items available:
