Replacing a switch fabric module
You can remove a switch fabric module while it is powered on and running and replace it with a new
one.
NOTE
A BigIron RX Series switch fabric module is dedicated, which means that it functions properly in the
BigIron RX Series chassis only. If you attempt to install a BigIron RX Series switch fabric module in
another Brocade chassis or a switch fabric module intended for another Brocade chassis in a BigIron
RX Series chassis, the chassis and switch fabric module will not function properly.
CAUTION
If hot removing or inserting a module, please allow a minimum of two seconds after a module (or
power supply or fan tray) has been removed before inserting a module in the same slot.
This section provides information about the following tasks:
• Removing a switch fabric module
