TABLE 4 SLX 9850 management module (continued)
Part number Long description Introduced OS Currently supported
RJ-45 console ports,10GbE Service port and
1GbE Management port
BR-SLX9850-MM SLX 9850 management module for 4-slot and 8-
slot systems, includes 32GB RAM, 2 internal Solid
State Drives, 4-Core Intel CPU, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2
RJ-45 console ports,10GbE Service port and
1GbE Management port
SLX-OS 17r.2.00 Yes
NOTE
The SLX-OS 17r.2.00 introduced the Optiscale feature that requires a 32GB Management Module. However, the 32GB
Management Module is also supported using the SLX-OS 16r.1.00 and later code versions, even though only 16GB of
memory will be utilized.
A newly inserted LineCard (LC) may get into a faulty state with "Incompatible LC" error message seen on console, due to a mismatch of
SLX-OS versions when the installed OS on the Management module (MM) and LC are a mix of 32bit and 64bit OS versions.
Refer to the two tables providing the Auto level support matrices for 32-bit and 64-bit MM and 32-bit and 64-bit LineCards (LC)
running the SLX-OS software versions specied below.
Auto Level Support - Table 1
Auto Level Support 32-bit Linecard (LC) 64-bit Linecard (LC)

17r.1.01b Supported Supported Supported**
64-bit Mgmt. Module (MM)

NOTE
* Netinstall can be used to install the 32-bit or 64-bit SLX-OS rmware on the LC to match the MM.* Netinstall can be used to
install the 32-bit or 64-bit SLX-OS rmware on the LC to match the MM.** In the event of a boot failure and a failed auto-level,
please revert to the unsupported case and contact GTAC for assistance with a Netinstall to load the appropriate rmware.Table

NOTE
In dual MM systems, a mix of SLX-OS 32-bit and 64-bit is not supported.
