1 Router modules 8-port 10 Gbps interface modules For PowerConnect B-MLXe routers, the 8-port, 10 Gbps interface modules (NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D) provide eight 10 Gbps ports that support SFP+ optics. These modules contain an internal flash memory of 16 MB for local storage of CPU images, and 32 MB for local storage of FPGA images. Each 8-port 10 Gbps Ethernet interface module can support a buffer of 256 MB. When installing NI-MLX-10Gx8-M or NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules, you must first upgrade the software on all interface modules and management modules to Multi-Service IronWare software 5.1 or later. For more information on upgrading the software, refer to Chapter 6, "Upgrading Software Images and Configuration Files". NOTE NI-MLX-10Gx8-D interface modules do not support MPLS. Routers that are loaded with one or more NI-MLX-10Gx8-M or NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules must also have high-speed switch fabric modules installed in order to operate. You can replace switch fabric modules while the system is powered on and running. For PowerConnect B-MLXe routers, NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules require the installation of high-speed switch fabric modules and high-speed fans. For more information about high-speed switch fabric modules, see "High-speed switch fabric modules" on page 17. For information about the high-speed fans, see "NIBI-16-FAN-EXH-A high-speed fan assemblies" on page 20. Figure 6 illustrates the faceplate of the NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules. FIGURE 6 NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D module faceplate 1 7 2 8 NOTE NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules are designed for use with PowerConnect B-MLXe routers only. NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules support the SFP+ optics listed in Table 6. These modules do not support SFP optics.
