NOTE
MR and MR2 management modules cannot be mixed in the same chassis.
NOTE
Prior to installing or replacing the MR2 management module, you must read the Hardware Installation Notes that shipped with
the hardware.
NOTE
Although management modules are designed to be hot-swappable, you must upgrade the software on all interface modules
and management modules to the appropriate software release before installing them. For more information on the appropriate
software release, refer to the Hardware Installation Notes that shipped with the management module.

FIGURE 6 MR2 management module front panel
The front panel of the management module contains the following features:
• Two auxiliary ash slots (available on MR management modules only)
• Compact ash slot (available on MR2 management modules only)
• Console port
• A 10/100/1000 Ethernet port

Auxiliary
ash slots
Auxiliary ash slots support ash PC cards where you can store boot images, startup and running conguration les, and other system
les, in addition to what is stored in system ash memory. This allows you to perform system management tasks, such as copying les
between ash PC cards, or copying les between a ash PC card and ash memory.
For maximum performance, it is recommended that you use Brocade auxiliary ash cards, part number FLASH-PCC, which can be
ordered from Brocade. Brocade auxiliary ash cards ship with the label on the bottom of the card; take caution to insert the card with the
label on the bottom side.
NOTE
Some older auxiliary ash cards can be inserted the wrong way in the slot because there is no indication in the card about which
is the right way. If you insert the card backwards, you will see continuous messages in the console and the card inserted/ card
removed syslog. If this occurs, you must remove the card and reinsert it the correct way.
