Replacing a management module

This section provides information about the following tasks:

• Removing a management module

• Installing a new management module

This section provides instructions for removing and installing the management modules in the FSX

800 and FSX 1600 chassis. Although the modules are dedicated and differ in size, the procedure

for installing them is the same. Therefore, this section provides one procedure that applies to all

modules.

Installation precautions

Note the following when removing and installing a management module:

• The management modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the

appropriate chassis. If you attempt to install the FSX management module in the FSX 800, FSX

1600, or other Brocade chassis, the chassis and module will not function properly. Likewise, if

you attempt to install the FSX 800 or FSX 1600 management module in the FSX or other

Brocade chassis, the chassis and module will not function properly.

• If your Brocade chassis has redundant management modules, you can remove one of the

management modules from the chassis while the chassis is powered on and running. This

does not apply to the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 with single management modules. These devices

must be powered down before removing the management module.

CAUTION

If your device does not have dual management modules, do not remove the management

module.

• If your device does not have dual management modules, do not remove the management

module while the chassis is powered on and running. If you attempt to remove this module

while the chassis is powered on and running, all traffic being handled by the system will stop.

• Before removing and replacing an active or standby management module, you need to

understand how these actions affect management module redundancy. Refer to “Removal and

replacement of a management module” on page 97.

• You cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same device. Interface modules that

universal support IPv4 and IPv6 may be used interchangeably with IPv4-only or IPv6-only

modules.

Removing a management module

Before removing a management module, have the following tools on hand:

• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.

DANGER

For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
