When installing NI-MLX-10Gx8-M or NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules, you must first upgrade the software
on all interface modules and management modules to Multi-Service IronWare software R05.0.00 or
later. For more information, refer to the Hardware Installation Notes that shipped with the modules.
NI-MLX-10Gx8-D interface modules do not support MPLS.
NI-MLX-10Gx8-M or NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules require high-speed switch fabric modules to operate.
You can replace switch fabric modules with high-speed switch fabric modules while the system is
powered on and running. For more information about high-speed switch fabric modules, see
“High-speed switch fabric modules” on page 31.
Figure 12 displays the faceplate of the NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules. Figure 13
shows the RX and TX orientation for the ports, and identifies which LED goes with which port.
