5. Tighten the screws to secure the router.

NOTE

For better grounding of the router to the rack, attach the router using star washers. You can also use star washers with single-hole grounding lugs to prevent rotation of the lug.

6. Repeat step 2 through step 5 to mount each router in the rack.

Installing Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 modules

The Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router ships with the required switch fabric modules installed.

The procedure in this section applies to all modules. The sequence for installing multiple modules is important to ensure proper fit. For the Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router, start with the lowest row, and move upwards, installing modules from left to right.

For instructions about installing 2x100GbE interface modules, refer to “Installing 2x100GbE interface modules in Brocade MLX routers” on page 239.

DANGER

The intra-building port or ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port or ports of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

NOTE

Brocade NetIron XMR modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in Brocade NetIron XMR routers only. For example, if you install a Brocade NetIron XMR module in another Brocade router or install a module intended for another Brocade router in the Brocade NetIron XMR router, the router and module will not function properly.

Although management modules are designed to be hot-swappable, you must upgrade the software on all interface modules and management modules to the appropriate software release before installing them. For more information on the appropriate software release, refer to the Hardware Installation Notes that shipped with the management module.

For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, see “Disabling and re-enabling power to interface modules” on page 321

Table 42 identifies the slots where you install modules. Identification markings are located at the base of each slot.
