NOTE
If you are hot-swapping a module, allow a minimum of two seconds after a module (or power supply or fan tray) has been
removed before inserting a module in the same slot.
Follow these steps to install a module in the Brocade MLXe Series router.
1. If you are installing a module into a slot which may have been configured for a different module type, first remove the old
configuration information by following these steps:
a)
Use the
show running-config
command in config mode to determine the current configuration of the slot.
device(config)# show running-config
Current configuration:
!
ver V5.0.0T163
module 1 ni-mlx-20-port-1g-copper
!
This example shows that slot 1 has already been configured for a 20-port 1 Gbps copper interface module.
b) Enter the
no module
slotmodule
command to remove the configuration from slot 1. Use the slot and module information
shown as a result of the
show running-config
command.
device(config)# no module 1 ni-mlx-20-port-1g-copper
The command removes the configuration from slot 1, leaving it ready for a new module.
2. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector on the chassis.
3. Remove the module from the packaging.
4. Insert the module into the slot, and slide it along the card guide until the ejectors on either side of the module rotate towards the
module faceplate, as shown in the following figure.
NOTE
When inserting the module into the router, make sure that the faceplate doesn’t overlap the faceplate of an adjacent
module.
5. Rotate the ejectors until they are flush with the module faceplate. This action will fully seat the module in the backplane.
6. Tighten the screws at each end of the module faceplate by pushing them in and turning them clockwise. Complete the
tightening process using the flat-blade screwdriver.
