Installing management and interface modules
This section provides the procedures for installing management and interface modules. Although
the modules may differ in size and function, the procedure for installing them in the chassis is the
same, with the exception of the NI-MLX-. The procedure described in this section applies to all
FastIron X Series devices.
FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules are hot swappable, which means you can remove
and insert them while the chassis is powered on and running.
NOTE
Management modules are dedicated, which means you must install them in the appropriate device.
NOTE
Interface modules (except the 48-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet POE interface module and
SX-FI24GPP and SX-FI48GPP modules) are interchangeable among all FastIron X Series devices.
However, if you install them in a Brocade device other than a FastIron X Series device, the device
and interface modules will not function properly.
You cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same chassis.
Because 48-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet POE+ interface modules (SX-FI48GPP) occupy two
vertical half-slots in the FastIron SX 800 or 1600 device, they can be installed in certain slots only.
Refer to Table 19.
Table 19 shows the slot numbers into which you must install management and interface modules.
The following figures show the chassis with slot numbers:
• FSX 800 – Figure 2 on page 6
• FSX 1600 – Figure 4 on page 9
