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,
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, which does not support dual management modules, nor to the FSX
800 and FSX 1600 with single management modules. These devices must be powered down
before removing the management module.
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 105.
• You cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same device.
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.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
