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 ports 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 to connect these
interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

NOTE
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 MLXe modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in Brocade MLXe
routers only. If you install a Brocade MLXe module in another Brocade router or install a module
intended for another Brocade router in a Brocade MLXe 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.
For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, see
re-enabling power to interface modules"
