BigIron RX Installation Guide 14153-1001811-01Replacing an interface module 6Installing a new interface moduleYou can install a new interface module while the BigIron RX Series chassis is powered on andrunning.NOTEA BigIron RX Series interface module is dedicated, which means that you must install it in a BigIronRX Series chassis only. If you attempt to install a BigIron RX Series interface module in anotherBrocade chassis or an interface module intended for another Brocade chassis in a BigIron RX Serieschassis, the chassis and interface module will not function properly.Before installing one of these modules into the BigIron RX Series chassis, have the following onhand:• A new interface module, which you can order from Brocade.• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the BigIron RX Serieschassis.DANGERFor 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 new interface module in the BigIron RX Series chassis1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connectorlocated in the upper right corner of the chassis front.2. Remove the module from its packaging.3.
