2Installing a Brocade MLXe-32 routerCAUTIONAll empty module slots must have slot blanks installed. Operating the router without slot blanksmay cause the router to overheat.CAUTIONIf you are hot-swapping a module, allow a minimum of two seconds after a module (or powersupply or fan tray) has been removed before inserting a module in the same slot.Follow these steps to install a module in the Brocade MLXe router.1. If you are installing a module into a slot which may have been configured for a different moduletype, first remove the old configuration information by following these steps:a. Use the show running-config command in config mode to determine the currentconfiguration of the slot.MLXe-32(config)# show running-configCurrent configuration:!ver V5.0.0T163module 1 ni-mlx-20-port-1g-copper!This example shows that slot 1 has already been configured for a 20-port 1 Gbps copperinterface module.b. Enter the no module command to remove the configuration from slot 1.Use the slot and module information shown as a result of the show running-configcommand.MLXe-32(config)# no module 1 ni-mlx-20-port-1g-copperThe 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 onthe chassis.3. Remove the module from the packaging.4. Insert the module into the slot, and slide it along the card guide until the ejectors on either sideof the module rotate towards the module faceplate. Refer to Figure 88.NOTEWhen inserting the module into the router, make sure that the faceplate doesn’t overlap thefaceplate of an adjacent module.5. Rotate the ejectors until they are flush with the module faceplate. This action will fully seat themodule in the backplane.6. Tighten the screws at each end of the module faceplate by pushing them in and turning themclockwise. 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 thenew module after a reboot.Brocade(config)# write memory124 Brocade MLX Series and NetIron XMR Hardware Installation Guide53-1002373-02
