This interface module has two 100 Gbps CFP optics ports, 2 Gbps memory, aninternal flash of 32MB for local storage of CPU images, and 64MB for local storage of FPGAimages. The 100xGbE 2-port interface module supports 1.5 MB buffering per port.NOTEOnly Brocade MLXe devices support both ports on the 100xGbE module. Brocade MLX and BrocadeNetIron XMR models support one port only.The 100xGbE interface module occupies two interface module slots in any chassis, with one slotactive and one slot inactive. In all devices, the lower number of the two occupied slots becomes theactive slot.NOTEBecause of the possibility of overheating, 2x100GbE interface modules should not be installed inthe top slot of a Brocade MLX 4-slot chassis.24 Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron XMR Hardware Installation Guide53-1002373-02
