Hardware features • • The FSX 800 comes with one 12-volt AC power supply. You can install up to four power supplies. The FSX 1600 comes with two 12-volt AC power supplies. You can install up to eight power supplies; four 12-volt AC or DC supplies and four 52- 54 volt AC power supplies for PoE and PoE +. You can use any combination of the supported AC and DC supplies in the same device. The following information applies to PoE power supplies: • • The SX-ACPWR2500-PoE requires 220-volt input.
Hardware features • In the FSX 800, you can install a second 12-volt power supply for redundancy. The FSX 1600 comes with and requires two 12-volt power supplies and supports up to four 12-volt power supplies for redundancy. PoE devices: NOTE The Second Generation SX-FI624P modules continue to support only PoE and 802.3af applications. The Third Generation PoE-compliant devices also support PoE+ and 802.3at applications.
Hardware features ‐ devices that one 52- 54-volt power supply can support depends on the number of watts required by each power-consuming device. Each 52- 54-volt power supply can provide a maximum of 1080 watts of PoE power, and each PoE+ port supports a maximum of 30 watts of power per PoE+ power-consuming device. For example, if each PoE+ powerconsuming device attached to the Brocade device consumes 30 watts of power, one 5254-volt supply will power up to 36 PoE+ ports.
Replacement power supplies In the FSX 1600 device, the system power supplies occupy slot numbers 1 - 4 in the top row with the redundant supplies in slot numbers 3 and 4. The PoE power supplies occupy slot numbers 5 - 8 in the bottom row. FIGURE 16 Power supply placement in the FSX 1600 Installed power supplies provide power to all device components, sharing the workload equally.

Installation precautions DANGER If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device. Installation precautions Follow these precautions when installing the chassis. General precautions DANGER All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 Lasers.
Power precautions and warnings DANGER Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over. DANGER Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above. Power precautions and warnings DANGER The power supplies are hot swappable, which means they can be removed and replaced while the chassis is powered on and running.
Installing FastIron SX Devices CAUTION Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature can exceed 40o C (104o F). CAUTION All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted access areas only. A restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Preparing the installation site CAUTION The POE power supply is designed exclusively for use with the FastIron X Series POE devices. The power supply produces extensive power to support 802.3af applications. Installing the power supply in a device other than the FastIron X Series POE will cause extensive damage to your equipment. Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.
Installation location Installation location Before installing the device, plan the location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Allow at least three inches of space at the front of the device for the fiber-optic and power cabling. Also, allow a minimum of three inches of space between the sides and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions. Removing extra shipment screws (FSX 800 only) The FSX 800 ships with two extra screws installed in the right side of the chassis.
Installing FastIron SX Devices DANGER The devices are very heavy, especially when fully populated with modules and power supplies. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN LIFTING, HANDLING, OR MOUNTING THESE DEVICES. DANGER Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over. DANGER Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible.
Installing mounting brackets on the FSX 1600 chassis 3. Start by mounting the chassis that goes in the lowest position in the rack. With two or more people lifting the chassis, slip the wide portion of each keyhole slot over the corresponding screw in the rack. FIGURE 22 Mounting a chassis in a rack - front mount 4. Slide the chassis down so that the screw heads are in the narrow portion of the keyhole slots. 5.
Removing the slot panels Since the brackets are identical, you must rotate one bracket 90 degrees to fit on the opposite side from the first bracket. FIGURE 23 Installing the mounting brackets on an FSX 1600 chassis. Repeat Step 2 through Step 6 of the “Installing the chassis in a rack” task to install the FSX 1600 chassis in the rack. Removing the slot panels The chassis ships with a slot panel installed in each empty module slot, ensuring proper airflow within the chassis.
Installing management and interface modules CAUTION If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you operate the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat. Although the slot panels may differ in size, the procedure for removing them is the same. The procedure in this section applies to all module slot panels. You need a #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver to perform this task. To remove a slot panel, complete the following tasks. 1.

Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet hubs Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet hubs For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Brocade device, a crossover cable is required (see UTP and Cat-5 crossover cable diagrams below). If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable. NOTE The 802.
Connecting to workstations, servers, or routers Connecting to workstations, servers, or routers Straight-through UTP cabling is required for direct UTP attachment to workstations, servers, or routers using network interface cards (NICs). Fiber cabling with LC connectors is required for direct attachment to Gigabit NICs or switches and routers. NOTE The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two 1000Base-T ports.
Cabling a fiber optic module identified by the numbers PL-XPL-00-S13-22 or PL-XPL-00-L13-23 above the serial number. Newer mini-GBICs do not have this limitation. Before installing a fiber optic module, have the following on hand: • An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis. DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity The CX4 transceiver requires a 15 meter CX4-grade cable with 24 or 26 American Wire Gauge (AWG). This cable can be purchased from Brocade.

Failed - The fan is not functioning properly or the fan control module cannot control the fan.
Managing the cooling system Managing the cooling system This section provides configuration, management, and monitoring information for the cooling system in FastIron X Series chassis devices. Configuring the cooling system Since FastIron X Series chassis devices provide default settings for all cooling system parameters, no initial configuration of the cooling system is necessary.
Changing temperature thresholds for thermal planes and fan speeds The software regularly polls the chassis to obtain the temperature of each thermal plane, then uses this information to decide whether or not to switch the fan speed. By default, the Brocade device polls the chassis every 60 seconds for temperature data. You can change this interval using the CLI command chassis poll-time .
Managing the Chassis and Modules • • • If the temperature of all thermal planes is between the low and high thresholds for a fan speed, the fan continues to operate at that fan speed. If the temperature of any thermal plane exceeds the high threshold specified for a fan speed, the fan speed increases to the next higher speed.
Managing the Chassis and Modules For the low-threshold and high-threshold variables, you can specify any temperature in Centigrade. However, when changing low and high temperature thresholds for a module’s fan speeds, remember that the low temperature threshold of a higher fan speed must be lower than the high temperature threshold of the lower fan speed. Brocade establishes this guideline to ensure the fan speed stability.
Shutdown warning messages ... Speed 4: 50<----->80 deg-C (shutdown) Syntax: show chassis Shutdown warning messages If any thermal plane exceeds the shutdown temperature level, the Brocade device will display a shutdown warning message on the console every five seconds until either the temperature level goes back down below the shutdown temperature level, or the system shuts down the chassis to prevent further damage (shutdown occurs after five minutes of exceeding the shutdown temperature level).
Monitoring the cooling system Monitoring the cooling system You can monitor the following aspects of the cooling system: • • • The temperature of the fan control modules The status and speed of the fans The temperature warnings sent to the system log Displaying the temperature By default, the Brocade device polls the temperature sensor on each module every 60 seconds to get the temperature of each module. The Brocade device records the highest temperature reading of the modules in each thermal plane.

Using a Redundant Management Module ● Overview....................................................................................................................... 107 ● How Management module redundancy works.............................................................. 107 ● Management module redundancy configuration........................................................... 110 ● Managing management module redundancy................................................................
Management module redundancy overview Management module redundancy overview When you power on or reload a FSX 800 or FSX 1600 chassis with two management modules installed, by default, the management module installed in the lower-numbered slot becomes the active module and the management module in the higher-numbered slot becomes the standby module. (You can change the default active slot using the set-active-mgmt command.
Removal and replacement of a management module module and the module in slot 9 is the standby module and you want the module in 9 to be the active module and the module in 10 to be the standby module, you can perform a manual switchover using the switch-over-active-role command. For information about performing this task, refer to the “Manually switching over to the standby management module” section. When the switchover occurs, the standby module becomes the active module.
Management sessions • • • Management sessions Syslog and SNMP traps MAC addresses The following sections explain the implications for these areas. Management sessions You can establish management sessions with the active management module’s management port. If a switchover occurs, the management port on the original active module shuts down and all open CLI, Web Management Interface, and Brocade Network Advisor sessions with that port close.
Managing management module redundancy mgmt0 is the lower-numbered slot and mgmt1 is the higher-numbered slot. To remove the configuration, use the no form of the command. You cannot use the erase startup command to remove the configuration. To view the default active chassis slot currently configured on the device, use the show run command.
Manually switching over to the standby management module The figure below shows how the files are synchronized between the active module and the standby module. FIGURE 41 File synchronization between the active and standby modules Manually switching over to the standby management module This section describes how to manually switch the role of active management module from the currently active module to the standby module.
Rebooting the active and standby management modules NOTE Hitless switchover is also supported. An enhancement to the manual switchover feature, a hitless switchover enables a switchover of the active management module to standby module without interrupting switched traffic. For details, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide. You can cause the system to switch over to the standby module (and thus make it the active module). To do so, enter the following command.
Monitoring management module redundancy Monitoring management module redundancy You can monitor the following aspects of management module redundancy: • • The status of the management modules (if a module is the active or standby module) The switchover history for the management modules The following sections explain how you can monitor the management modules Determining management module status You can determine the status of a management module in the following ways: • • LEDs - The LEDs on the manage
Displaying temperature information ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ Init - The module is currently initializing as the standby module. OK - The module is ready to take over as the active module, if necessary. Wait - The module is awaiting boot information from the active management module. Sync - The active module is currently synchronizing files between itself and the standby module. Displaying temperature information Each management module contains two temperature sensors.
Using a Redundant Management Module This output shows that one switchover occurred.
