Installing Brocade MLX-32 router modules

The sequence for installing management, interface, and switch fabric modules is important to ensure proper fit in the Brocade MLX-32 router. When populating the router, start with the middle slot, and work towards the edge. Always fill the bottom slots of the upper and lower card cage of the router first. Refer to Figure 8 on page 12 for slot locations.

The following rules apply when installing modules in a 32-slot router:

•Do not insert interface modules running software releases below 02.3.00 into slots 17 to 32 of a Brocade MLX-32 router. Interface modules running software releases below 02.3.00 should only be inserted in slots 1 to 16.

•All empty slots must contain slot blanks to ensure proper air flow within the router.
