2 Installing a PowerConnect B-MLXe-8 router Installing PowerConnect B-MLXe-8 modules The sequence for installing multiple modules is important to ensure proper fit. The recommended sequence for the PowerConnect B-MLXe-8 router is to install right-to-left, beginning with the lowest row and moving up. NOTE installation instructions are identical for interface, management, and switch fabric modules. DANGER The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly are suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building 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 4) 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 PowerConnect B-MLXe modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the PowerConnect B-MLXe router only. If you try to install a PowerConnect B-MLXe module in a non-PowerConnect B-MLXe router, or install a module intended for a non-PowerConnect B-MLXe router in a PowerConnect B-MLXe router, the router and module will not function properly. Table 14 identifies the router slot numbers where the modules must be installed. An identifying label can be seen at the base of each slot. For information about how to disable and re-enable power to interface modules, see "Disabling and re-enabling power to interface modules" on page 99 NOTE The PowerConnect B-MLXe-8 router ships with the required switch fabric modules installed.

If you run the router with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat. 48 PowerConnect B-MLXe Hardware Installation Guide 53-1002111-01
