Installing a Brocade MLX-16 router
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
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 this procedure to install an interface module, management module, or switch fabric module in the Brocade MLX-16 router
1. If you are installing a module in a slot which may have been previously configured for a different module type, remove the old
configuration information using this procedure:
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 is currently configured for a 20-port 1 Gbps copper interface module.
b. With the module designation from show running-config command output, use the no module slot-number module-type
command to remove the configuration from slot 1.
Brocade(config)# no module 1 ni-mlx-20-port-1g-copper
This command 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 chassis.
3. Remove the module from the packaging.
4. Insert the module into the router slot, and slide the module along the card guide until the ejectors on either side of the module
rotate towards the module front panel.
NOTE
When inserting a module into the router, make sure that the module faceplate does not overlap the faceplate of an adjacent
module.
5. Rotate the ejectors flush with the module front panel. This action will fully seat the module in the backplane.
6. Tighten the two screws on 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.
