2 Installing a BigIron RX-16 switch Installing BigIron RX-16 modules This section provides one procedure that applies to all modules. The sequence for installing more than one module is important to ensure proper fit. For the BigIron RX-16 chassis, starting with the lowest row, and moving upwards, install the modules left-to-right starting with the bottom row NOTE The BigIron RX Series modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the BigIron RX Series chassis only. For example, 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. Table 12 provides the chassis slot numbers into which you must install the modules. Markings for the chassis slots appear at the base of the slots. TABLE 12 BigIron RX-16 module installation BigIron RX-16 module Chassis slot number Management modules Interface modules Switch Fabric modules Active module - M1 (upper). Redundant module - M2 (lower). 1 - 16 SF1 - SF4 The BigIron RX-16 chassis ships with the required switch fabric modules installed. CAUTION If you do not install a module in a slot, you must leave the slot blank installed in the slot. If you run the BigIron RX-16 chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat. If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to the Using a Redundant Management Module chapter in the BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide for information about how the redundant module works, optional software configurations that you can perform, and how to manage the redundancy feature. Before installing a module in the BigIron RX-16 chassis, have the following on hand: • 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 module in the BigIron RX-16 chassis. 1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector on the chassis front. 2. Remove the module from its packaging. 52 BigIron RX Installation Guide 53-1001811-01

Installing BigIron RX-16 modules
This section provides one procedure that applies to all modules. The sequence for installing more
than one module is important to ensure proper fit. For the BigIron RX-16 chassis, starting with the
lowest row, and moving upwards, install the modules left-to-right starting with the bottom row
NOTE
The BigIron RX Series modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the BigIron
RX Series chassis only. For example, 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.
Table 12
provides the chassis slot numbers into which you must install the modules. Markings for
the chassis slots appear at the base of the slots.
The BigIron RX-16 chassis ships with the required switch fabric modules installed.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must leave the slot blank installed in the slot. If you
run the BigIron RX-16 chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.
If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to the
Using a Redundant
Management Module
chapter in the
BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide
for information about
how the redundant module works, optional software configurations that you can perform, and how
to manage the redundancy feature.
Before installing a module in the BigIron RX-16 chassis, have the following on hand:
•
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 module in the BigIron RX-16 chassis.
1.
Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector on
the chassis front.
2.
Remove the module from its packaging.
