Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron XMR Installation Guide 169

Installing a NetIron XMR 32000 router
•
Interface modules: Interface slots 1-32
The intra-building port or ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port or ports of the equipment or
subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the 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
NetIron XMR modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the NetIron XMR router only. For example, if you
install the NetIron XMR module in another Brocade router or install a module intended for another Brocade router in the 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.
If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to the 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.
For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, refer to “Disabling and re-enabling power to interface
modules” on page 213.
Before installing a module in the NetIron XMR 32000 router, have the following items available:
•
A large flat-blade screwdriver.
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the router chassis.
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 32000 router. The installation steps are identical for management modules,
interface modules, and switch fabric modules.
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. Remove the two shipping panels by unscrewing the six captive screws holding each panel.
