Hi old gen1 modules don't work with sfm in turbo mode.
Check the installation guide for turbo mode. You could have performance loss as the lc might not have full capacity to the backplane.

I have the same problem with BR-MLX-1GFx24-X-ML card in MLXe-16 chassis: [email protected]#show module Module Status Ports Starting MAC M1 (upper): BR-MLX-MR2-M Management Module Active M2 (lower): F1: NI-X-HSF Switch Fabric Module Active F2: NI-X-HSF Switch Fabric Module Active F3: NI-X-HSF Switch Fabric Module Active F4: S1: NI-MLX-10Gx8-D 8-port 10GbE (D) Module CARD_STATE_UP 8 0024.38a1.c900 S2: NI-MLX-10Gx8-D 8-port 10GbE (D) Module CARD_STATE_UP 8 0024.38a1.c930 S3: NI-MLX-10Gx8-D 8-port 10GbE (D) Module CARD_STATE_UP 8 0024.38a1.c960 S4: NI-MLX-10Gx8-D 8-port 10GbE (D) Module CARD_STATE_UP 8 0024.38a1.c990 S5: NI-MLX-10Gx8-D 8-port 10GbE (D) Module CARD_STATE_UP 8 0024.38a1.c9c0 S6: S7: S8: S9: S10: S11: S12: S13: S14: S15: S16: BR-MLX-1GFx24-X 24-port 1GbE SFP Module CARD_STATE_INTERACTIVE 0 0024.38a1.cbd0 show log: Nov 12 18:54:54:N:System: G1 based module in slot 16 kept interactive - System in Turbo fabric data mode Nov 12 18:54:54:N:Module 16 is reset by mgmt (reason: boot to interactive mode) But according to "MLX Module Compatibility Matrix" document it should work properly both with SFM and hSFM modules and with BR-MLX-MR2-M mgmt. module. But in this document there is no any note about "Turbo" mode. >From other side, http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/foundry-nsp/2012-April/003519.htm claims that "If the system is operating in Turbo mode, standard switch fabric modules (G1) and standard (G1) interface modules are automatically blocked." Thus, in order to get BR-MLX-1GFx24-X-ML card working properly I should disable turbo-mode of hSFM? But what consequences it may have? And what should I do when there is need to use 100G modules?
