100xGbE 2-port interface module
The 100xGbE
NOTE
Only Brocade MLXe devices support both ports on the 100xGbE module. Brocade MLX and Brocade NetIron XMR models support one port only.
The 100xGbE interface module occupies two interface module slots in any chassis, with one slot active and one slot inactive. In all devices, the lower number of the two occupied slots becomes the active slot.
NOTE
Because of the possibility of overheating, 2x100GbE interface modules should not be installed in the top slot of a Brocade MLX
