National electromagnetic compliance (EMC) statements of compliance
FCC statement (USA only)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, it
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct
the interference at their own expense.

Important notice about apparent module failure
11
To prevent apparent failures of properly functioning modules after you install the
modules in a chassis, make sure you securely tighten all the module retaining
screws to ensure a good connection between the module and the backplane.
If a module failure occurs, check for possible backplane connection problems as a
cause. Make sure the module is correctly seated in the backplane connector and
the retaining screws are securely tightened. If the module still fails to operate,
contact Nortel Networks
™
customer support for assistance.

16 Determining hardware and software compatibility
2 Passport 8000 Series Switch Software Release 3.3.1 was specifically designed to introduce the 8661 SAM module.
Release 3.3.1 is the only 3.3.x release that supports the 8661 SAM module. The 8661 SAM module is supported in
Release 3.5 and higher.
3 Passport 8000 Series Switch Software Release 3.7.6 was specifically designed to introduce the 8660 SDM.
4 Passport 8000 Series Switch Software Release 3.1.3 is the first and only release in the 3.1.x software branch that
supports the Web Switching Module. See Ta bl e 1 for compatibility between Passport 8600 Series Switch and WSM
software versions.
5 E-modules are required to support Egress port mirroring and Enhanced Operational Mode.
6 M modules offer additional memory to support large routing tables such as those found in BGP implementations. The
Passport 8000 Series Switch Software Release 3.3 introduced a new mode, called M Mode, or 128K records mode,
which requires the 8691SF module. When enabled, this mode allows M modules to use their full capabilities (128K
records). When this mode is disabled, the M modules work in 32K mode (case of non E and E modules). If the chassis
includes one 8690SF module, the mode default backs to 32K mode. To be effective, this mode requires that all modules
installed in the same chassis support 128K records (M modules) and that the SF/CPU are 8691SF. If one, or more
modules installed in the chassis is a 32K records module (non M module), these modules will be disabled if the chassis
is configured to operate in M Mode (For instructions on enabling MMode, see Managing Platform Operations and Using
Diagnostic Tools).
7 Nortel Networks recommends that if you are using a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module: 8681XLR or 8681XLW with 3.3.x
software code that you upgrade to the Passport 8000 Series Switch Software Release 3.5.0 or higher.
8 ATM MDAs inserted into an 8672ATME module require Passport 8000 Series Switch Software Release 3.1.1 or higher.
ATM MDAs inserted into a 8672ATMM module require Passport 8000 Series Switch Software Release 3.3.0 or higher.
9 POS MDAs inserted into a 8683POSE module require Passport 8000 Series Switch Software Release 3.1.1 or higher,
and POS MDAs inserted into a 8683POSM module require Passport 8000 Series Switch Software Release 3.3.0 or
higher.
10 Non-supported GBICs are displayed in the CLI and Device Manager as “GBIC-other.”
