Hej,
I got these all new modules in completely new MLX4-e chassis and don't
know what the issue is, but the BR-MLX-1GFx24-X modules are always
recognized as invalid and put into interactive mode. I tried upgrading
the devices from IronWare 5.2c to IronWare 5.3b, but this didn't help.
The LP FPGA images, monitor and boot images are all up to date and the
linecard is not being recognized in both 5.2c and 5.3b. Anyone has an
idea why that is? I have 1GE Fiber SFPs in these linecards.

Dear Colleagues,
Are there any updates on that issue? I have the same problem with
BR-MLX-1GFx24-X-ML card in MLXe-16 chassis:

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?
Thanks in advance!
