1 Router modules FIGURE 9 NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A module front panel A The front panel includes the following features: • A power LED located below the part number • Eight mini-RJ21 connectors, each supporting six 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports The eight mini-RJ21 connectors support six 1 Gbps Ethernet ports each. You can connect a patch panel with a mini-RJ21 connector to a mini-RJ21 connector on the interface module. The patch panel provides RJ45 connectors. You can also use a cable with a mini-RJ21 connector on one end that connects to the mini-RJ21 connector on the interface module. The other end of the cable splits into six cables with RJ45 connectors on each cable. The NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A module ships with two cable cinches. Each cable cinch consists of a plastic part and a velcro strap. For instructions on using the cable cinches, see Chapter 3, "Using the Dell Structured Cabling Components". Contact your Dell Sales Representative for more information about cables and patch panels that support this module. Power supply requirements for NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A modules When installing NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A modules, consider the following power supply requirements for each type of router: • 4-slot routers You can install up to three NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A modules, and populate the remaining slots with other modules using a single 1200W power supply. You can achieve a 1+2 power redundancy by installing two additional power supplies. If four NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A modules are installed, you will need a minimum of two power supplies. You can achieve 2+1 power redundancy by installing one additional power supply. • 8-slot routers You can install up to seven NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A modules, and populate the remaining slots with other modules using two 1200W power supplies. You can achieve a 2+2 power redundancy by installing two additional power supplies. If eight NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A modules are installed, you will need a minimum of three power supplies. You can achieve 3+1 power redundancy by installing one additional power supply. • 16-slot routers You can install up to twelve NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A modules, and populate the remaining slots with other modules using four 1200W power supplies. You can achieve a 4+4 power redundancy by installing four additional power supplies. 14 PowerConnect B-MLXe Hardware Installation Guide 53-1002111-01

NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A module front panel
The front panel includes the following features:
•
A power LED located below the part number
•
Eight mini-RJ21 connectors, each supporting six 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports
The eight mini-RJ21 connectors support six 1 Gbps Ethernet ports each. You can connect a patch
panel with a mini-RJ21 connector to a mini-RJ21 connector on the interface module. The patch
panel provides RJ45 connectors. You can also use a cable with a mini-RJ21 connector on one end
that connects to the mini-RJ21 connector on the interface module. The other end of the cable splits
into six cables with RJ45 connectors on each cable.
The NI-MLX-1Gx48-T-A module ships with two cable cinches. Each cable cinch consists of a plastic
part and a velcro strap. For instructions on using the cable cinches, see
