Installing a Brocade NetIron XMR 4000 router
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 NetIron XMR modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the
Brocade NetIron XMR router only. For example, if you install a Brocade NetIron XMR module in
another Brocade router or install a module intended for another Brocade router in the Brocade
NetIron XMR 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.
For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, see
re-enabling power to interface modules"

If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to the Brocade MLX Series and
Brocade NetIron Family Configuration Guide, Chapter 8, Using a Redundant Management Module,
for information about how the redundant module works, optional software configurations, and how
to manage redundancy.

The Brocade NetIron XMR 4000 router ships with slot blanks installed in all module slots. Slot
blanks cover empty slots to ensure proper airflow. To install a module, first remove the slot blank
from the module slot.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the router
with an uncovered slot, it may overheat. Tighten the screws that secure the slot blanks so that
they remain in place when removing adjacent panels or modules.
