Installing a Brocade MLX-32 router
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
1. If you are installing a module into a slot which may have been configured for a different module type, 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.
Brocade(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 1g copper interface module.
b. With the module designation from show running-config command output, use the no module command to remove the
configuration from slot 1.
Brocade(config)# no module 1 ni-mlx-20-port-1g-copper
This example 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 front of the router.
3. Remove the module from the packaging.
4. Insert the module into the router slot, and slide the card along the card guide until the ejectors on either side of the module rotate
towards the module faceplate. Refer to Figure 73.
NOTE
When inserting the module into the router, make sure that the faceplate does not 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.
7. Enter the write memory command to ensure that the slot will be correctly configured for the new module after a reboot.
Brocade(config)# write memory
Write startup-config done.
