Conventions
This section discusses the conventions used in this guide.
Notes, cautions, and warnings
Notes, cautions, and warning statements may be used in this document. They are listed in the order of increasing severity of potential
hazards.
NOTE
A Note provides a tip, guidance, or advice, emphasizes important information, or provides a reference to related information.
ATTENTION
An Attention statement indicates a stronger note, for example, to alert you when trac might be interrupted or the device might
reboot.
CAUTION
A Caution statement alerts you to situations that can be potentially hazardous to you or cause damage to hardware,
rmware, software, or data.
DANGER
A Danger statement indicates conditions or situations that can be potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to you. Safety
labels are also attached directly to products to warn of these conditions or situations.
Text formatting conventions
Text formatting conventions such as boldface, italic, or Courier font may be used to highlight specic words or phrases.
Format Description
bold text Identies command names.
Identies keywords and operands.
Identies the names of GUI elements.
Identies text to enter in the GUI.
italic text Identies emphasis.
Identies variables.
Identies document titles.

Format Description
Courier font Identies CLI output.
Identies command syntax examples.
Command syntax conventions
Bold and italic text identify command syntax components. Delimiters and operators dene groupings of parameters and their logical
relationships.
Convention Description
bold text Identies command names, keywords, and command options.
italic text Identies a variable.
[ ] Syntax components displayed within square brackets are optional.
Default responses to system prompts are enclosed in square brackets.
{ x | y | z } A choice of required parameters is enclosed in curly brackets separated by vertical bars. You must select
one of the options.
x | yA vertical bar separates mutually exclusive elements.
< > Nonprinting characters, for example, passwords, are enclosed in angle brackets.
... Repeat the previous element, for example, member[member...].
\ Indicates a “soft” line break in command examples. If a backslash separates two lines of a command
input, enter the entire command at the prompt without the backslash.

The SLX-OS 17r.2.00 introduced the Optiscale feature that requires a 32GB Management Module. However, the 32GB
Management Module is also supported using the SLX-OS 16r.1.00 and later code versions, even though only 16GB of
memory will be utilized.
A newly inserted LineCard (LC) may get into a faulty state with "Incompatible LC" error message seen on console, due to a mismatch of
SLX-OS versions when the installed OS on the Management module (MM) and LC are a mix of 32bit and 64bit OS versions.
Refer to the two tables providing the Auto level support matrices for 32-bit and 64-bit MM and 32-bit and 64-bit LineCards (LC)
running the SLX-OS software versions specied below.

Device slot numbering: port-side
The ExtremeRouting SLX 9850-4 contains 4 slots for interface modules. Each slot is 1.5 rack units (RUs) in height. A maximum of 4
interface modules is supported per chassis.
The serial number for the device is located at the top of the chassis.
The following gure shows the device slot numbering and port side view of the SLX 9850-4. The call-outs in the gure correspond to
the numbering of each router component in the chassis when you enter the show slots command.
For a list and description of management module ports, refer to Front panel and port description on page 87. For a list and description
of interface module ports, refer to Front panel and port description on page 95.
