Replacing an interface module

Replacing an interface module
You can remove an interface module and replace it with a new one while the chassis is powered on
and running.
NOTE
Interface modules are interchangeable among all FastIron X Series devices. However, if you install
them in a Brocade device other than a FastIron X Series device, the device and interface modules
will not function properly.
This section provides information about the following tasks:
General precautions
Removing an interface module
Installing a new interface module
Precautions
Note the following when removing and replacing Interface modules:
If you remove an interface module without first disabling it, the chassis will reboot (reload the
software).
You do not need to enable an interface module after inserting it in the chassis. The FastIron X
Series chassis device automatically enables the module when you insert it into a live chassis
or when you power on the chassis.
You cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same chassis.
The software does not allow simultaneous insertion of multiple interface modules. After
inserting an interface module, wait a few seconds before inserting the next module. If you
attempt to insert modules one right after the other, the system will display an error message.
If you plan to replace the removed module with a different type of module, you must remove
the module configuration. To do so, enter the no module <slotnum> command at the global
CONFIG level of the CLI. If you attempt to insert a module of a different type without first
removing the previous module configuration, the system will display an error message.
Before removing an interface module
Before physically removing an interface 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.
A #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver.
