These interfaces are designed for use as intra-buildinginterfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5) and requireisolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficientprotection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.NOTEBrocade NetIron XMR modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in theBrocade NetIron XMR router only. For example, if you install a Brocade NetIron XMR module inanother Brocade router or install a module intended for another Brocade router in the BrocadeNetIron XMR router, the router and module will not function properly.Although management modules are designed to be hot-swappable, you must upgrade the softwareon all interface modules and management modules to the appropriate software release beforeinstalling them. For more information on the appropriate software release, refer to the HardwareInstallation Notes that shipped with the management module.For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, see “Disabling andre-enabling power to interface modules” on page 321Table 40 provides the router slot numbers where you install the modules.

If you run the routerwith an uncovered slot, it may overheat. Tighten the screws that secure the slot blanks so thatthey remain in place when removing adjacent panels or modules.246 Brocade MLX Series and NetIron XMR Hardware Installation Guide53-1002373-02
