Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron XMR Installation Guide 149

Installing a NetIron XMR 8000 router
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you operate the router with
an uncovered slot, the system may overheat. Tighten the screws that secure the slot blanks so that they
remain in place when removing adjacent panels or modules.
Although slot blanks differ in size, the procedure for removing them is the same. You will need a flat-blade screwdriver to perform this
task.
Follow the steps to remove a slot blank.
1. Loosen the screws on either end of the slot blank by hand or with a flat blade screwdriver.
2. Pull the slot blank out of the router, and store it in a safe place for future use.
NOTE
If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron Family Configuration
Guide for information about how the redundant module works, optional software configurations, and how to manage redundancy.
Before installing a module, have these items available:
•
A large flat-blade screwdriver.
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the router.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 megohm series resistor.
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 NetIron XMR 8000 router.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector on the router chassis.
2. Remove the module from the packaging.
3. With the ejectors in the outward position, insert the module into the slot and slide the module along the card guides until the
ejectors rotate towards the faceplate of the module.
