Interface modules

You can install up to 16 BigIron RX Series interface modules in the BigIron RX Series chassis as described:

BigIron RX-4: Supports up to 4 interface modules

BigIron RX-8: Supports up to 8 interface modules

BigIron RX-16: Supports up to 16 interface modules

NOTE

A BigIron RX Series interface module is dedicated, which means that you must install it in the BigIron RX Series chassis only. If you attempt to install a BigIron RX Series interface module in another Brocade chassis or an interface module intended for another Brocade chassis in the BigIron RX Series chassis, the module will not boot up to become active. Interface modules can be shared between BigIron RX-4, BigIron RX-8, and BigIron RX-16.

The interface modules are hot swappable, which means you can remove and replace them without powering down the system.
