Note: The DFE-Platinum 2G4082-25 module can be installed in the single-slot of the Matrix N1

chassis, or in any slot of the Matrix E7, Matrix N7, Matrix N5, or Matrix N3, but does not have FTM

connectivity.

When installed in the Matrix E7, Matrix N7, Matrix N5, or Matrix N3, the 2G4082-25 will boot as a

standalone device with no connectivity to other modules in the chassis.
