Installing a Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router
4
Before installing a module in the Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router, have these items available:
• A large flat-blade screwdriver.
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the router.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 megohm series resistor.
CAUTION
If you are hot-swapping a module, allow a minimum of two seconds after a module (or power
supply or fan tray) has been removed before inserting a module in the same slot.
NOTE
For 16-slot devices, if you insert a module into a slot where the fan speed for a previous module was
manually configured, you will need to change the fan speed back to auto. For example, if the fan
speed was manually configured to “slow”, and you are installing a module that requires more cooling
power, the “slow” setting will cause the module to overheat. To configure the fan speed to auto, enter
the following command:
Brocade
# conf t
Brocade# set-fan-speed auto
Syntax: set-fan-speed auto
Follow these steps to install a module in the Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector on
the router.
2. Remove the module from the packaging.
3. With the ejectors rotated away from the module faceplate, insert the module into the slot (refer
and slide the module along the card guide until the ejectors rotate towards the module
faceplate.
NOTE
When inserting the module into the router, make sure that the faceplate doesn’t overlap with
the faceplate of an adjacent interface module.
4. Rotate the ejectors flush with the module faceplate to seat the module in the backplane.
Modules have a snug fit for maximum EMI protection.
