Syntax: disable module <slot-num>
The <slot-num> variable specifies a valid slot number.
If you decide after disabling a module that you do not want to remove the module, re-enable the
module using the following command.
Brocade# enable module 3
Syntax: enable module <slot-num>
Installing or replacing a POE daughter card
This section provides instructions for installing or replacing a Power Over Ethernet (POE) daughter
card (part number SX-24GCPOE) in the FastIron X Series chassis. The POE daughter card enables
support for POE power-consuming devices. The card is located in a connector slot on the 24-port
Gigabit Ethernet copper interface module.
NOTE
These instructions apply to the SX-FI424C, SX-FI424P, SX-FI624C and SX-FI624P modules.
You can install or replace a POE daughter card while the chassis is powered on and running. Before
installing or replacing the card, disable the module to prevent the remaining interface modules in
the chassis from dropping user packets.
NOTE
If applicable, install the POE (48V or 220V) power supply prior to installing the POE daughter card.
The system will not recognize the POE daughter card unless there is a POE power supply operating
in the chassis. Refer to “Installing or replacing a power supply” on page 122.
To perform this task, you must have the following on hand:
• A POE daughter card, which you can order from Brocade.
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
• A #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver.
To replace or install the POE daughter card, complete the following tasks.
1. Disable the 24-port Gigabit Ethernet module for which you will replace or install the POE
daughter card. Enter a command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
Brocade# disable module 1
Syntax: disable module <slot num>
2. Remove the 24-port Gigabit Ethernet module from the chassis as follows:
• Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD
connector located on the chassis front.
• Use the #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver to loosen and remove the two screws on
the left and right ends of the 24-port module.
