Replacing an interface module 6 Installing a new management module You can install a management module while the BigIron RX Series chassis is powered on and running. NOTE The BigIron RX Series management module is dedicated, which means that you must install it in the BigIron RX Series chassis only. If you attempt to install the BigIron RX Series management module in another Brocade chassis or a management module intended for another Brocade chassis in the BigIron RX Series chassis, the chassis and module will not function properly. Before installing a module into the BigIron RX Series chassis, have the following on hand: • A new management module, which you can order from Brocade. • An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the BigIron RX Series chassis. DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 meg ohm series resistor. • A large flat-head screwdriver. Follow the steps given below to install a new management module in the BigIron RX Series chassis. 1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector located in the upper right corner of the chassis front. 2. Remove the module from its packaging. 3. Insert the module into the chassis slot, and slide the card along the card guide until the ejectors on either side of the module move close to the module front panel. 4. Push the ejectors even closer until they are flush with the module front panel. This action will fully seat the module in the backplane. 5. Tighten the two screws at either end of the module front panel by pushing them in and turning them clockwise. If desired, tighten the screws further using the flat-head screwdriver. Replacing an interface module You can remove an interface module and replace it with a new one while the BigIron RX Series chassis is powered on and running. 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 chassis and interface module may not function properly.

Replacing an interface module

Installing a new management module
You can install a management module while the BigIron RX Series chassis is powered on and
running.
NOTE
The BigIron RX Series management module is dedicated, which means that you must install it in the
BigIron RX Series chassis only. If you attempt to install the BigIron RX Series management module
in another Brocade chassis or a management module intended for another Brocade chassis in the
BigIron RX Series chassis, the chassis and module will not function properly.
Before installing a module into the BigIron RX Series chassis, have the following on hand:
•
A new management module, which you can order from Brocade.
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the BigIron RX Series
chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 meg ohm series resistor.
•
A large flat-head screwdriver.
Follow the steps given below to install a new management module in the BigIron RX Series chassis.
1.
Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the upper right corner of the chassis front.
2.
Remove the module from its packaging.
3.
Insert the module into the chassis slot, and slide the card along the card guide until the
ejectors on either side of the module move close to the module front panel.
4.
Push the ejectors even closer until they are flush with the module front panel. This action will
fully seat the module in the backplane.
5.
Tighten the two screws at either end of the module front panel by pushing them in and turning
them clockwise. If desired, tighten the screws further using the flat-head screwdriver.
Replacing an interface module
You can remove an interface module and replace it with a new one while the BigIron RX Series
chassis is powered on and running.
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 chassis and interface module may not function properly.
