The FSX management module is dedicated, which means that it can be installed in the FSX chassis
only. 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.
Table 4 lists the management modules supported on the FSX chassis.
The management modules with 512 MB SDRAM enable support for larger routing tables (1,000,000
BGP routes) with the full Layer 3 code.
The IPv6 management modules ending with -PREM provide additional support for full Layer 3 IPv4
routing protocols. The IPv6 management modules ending with -PREM6 provide additional support
for full Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols.
The FSX management module does the following:
• Controls the FSX hardware components
• Houses and controls the switch fabric module
• Runs the networking protocols
• Provides the real time operating system
The management module is located in slot 9, just above the power supply slots (refer to Figure 2).
