Installing a NetIron XMR 16000 router
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
• Install interface modules in interface slots 10, 12, 14, and 16.
• Install a management module in management slot 1.
• Install interface modules in interface slots 1, 3, 5, and 7.
• Install switch fabric modules in the switch fabric slots 1 and 3.
• Install interface modules in interface slots 9,11,13, and 15.
NOTE
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 that you can perform, and how to
manage the redundancy feature.
Before installing a module in the NetIron XMR 16000 router, 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.
NOTE
For 16-slot devices, if you insert a module into a slot where the fan speed for a previous module was manually configured, you
will need to change the fan speed back to auto. For example, if the fan speed was manually configured to “slow”, and you are
installing a module that requires more cooling power, the “slow” setting will cause the module to overheat. To configure the fan
speed to auto, enter the following command:
Brocade# conf t
Brocade# set-fan-speed auto
Syntax: set-fan-speed auto
Follow these steps to install a module in the NetIron XMR 16000 router.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector on the router.
2. Remove the module from the packaging.
3. With the ejectors rotated away from the module faceplate, insert the module into the slot (refer and slide the module along the
card guide until the ejectors rotate towards the module faceplate.
NOTE
When inserting the module into the router, make sure that the faceplate doesn’t overlap with the faceplate of an adjacent
interface module.
4. Rotate the ejectors flush with the module faceplate to seat the module in the backplane. Modules have a snug fit for maximum
EMI protection.
