Installing the FCX Switch ● Unpacking the device......................................................................................................33 ● Installation tasks..............................................................................................................34 ● Installation precautions................................................................................................... 35 ● Preparing the installation site................................................................
Installation tasks Use the serial connection to perform basic configuration tasks, including assigning an IP address and network mask to the system. This information is required to manage the system using the Brocade Network Advisor or using the CLI through Telnet. Installation tasks Follow the steps listed in this section to install your device. Details for each of these steps are provided on the pages indicated.
Installation precautions Installation precautions Follow all precautions when installing a Brocade device. General precautions CAUTION All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers. CAUTION Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40 ο C (104 ο F). CAUTION Make sure the air flow around the front and sides of the device is not restricted. CAUTION Never leave tools inside the device.
Preparing the installation site CAUTION Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.
Installing the device • • • • • Allow at least 3 in. of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling. Be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices. Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible. Allow for twisted-pair cable to be always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.
Rack mount installation Rack mount installation NOTE You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for installation. Before mounting the switch in a rack, pay particular attention to the following factors: • • • • Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
Installing the FCX Switch NOTE FCX624-E, FCX624-I, FCX648-E, and FCX648-I device brackets are mounted using three screws.

Connecting devices in a traditional stack 3. Attach the device in the rack. FIGURE 28 Installing the device in a rack 4. If installing a single switch only, proceed to Powering on the system on page 48. 5. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. Connecting devices in a traditional stack Brocade FCX Series devices can operate as standalone devices and also as members of traditional stacks.
Installing the FCX Switch The default stacking ports on FCX S/S-F devices are the ports in the 16/10 Gbps CX4 stacking module on the rear panel. The default stacking ports on the FCX E/I devices are the first two ports in the four-port 10 Gbps SFP+ module on the front panel. Refer to the table below for the list of supported XFP transceivers (for stacking and non-stacking FCX models) and supported SFP and SFP+ transceivers.

Stacking configuration requirements • • • • Before configuring the stack using the CLI, physically connect the devices using stacking cables.
Installing the FCX Switch In ring stack topology, there is an extra connection between the logical first and last devices forming a"ring" or "closed-loop." The closed-loop connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if one link fails, stack communications can be maintained.
Installing the FCX Switch For example, in a four-unit stack using a ring topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 to unit 3, unit 3 to unit 4, and unit 4 connects to unit 1.
Installing the FCX Switch FIGURE 34 FCX E devices in a ring stacking topology FIGURE 35 FCX S (top) and FCX E devices (bottom two devices) in a linear stacking topology Brocade FCX Series Hardware Installation Guide 53-1003077-01 47
Extended distance stacking Extended distance stacking Extended distance stacking allows stacking of devices in a distributed network environment. You can form a stack of co-located devices or devices located over an extended distance to form a distributed stack. Extended distance stacking provides resiliency, scalability, and ease of management whether the location of switches is in the same equipment rack or distributed across a network.
Attaching a PC or terminal Attaching a PC or terminal To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI) . The CLI is a text-based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device and through Telnet connections. Access the CLI by attaching a serial cable to the Console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the system through Telnet or Brocade Network Advisor.

"Vorsicht" weist auf die Gefahr einer möglichen Beschädigung des Gerätes in.
Cautions and Danger Notices CAUTION Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails. MISE EN GARDE Utilisez un circuit de dérivation différent pour chaque cordon d’alimentation C.A. Ainsi, il y aura un circuit redondant en cas de panne d’un des circuits. PRECAUCIÓN Use un circuito derivado separado para cada cordón de alimentación de CA, con lo que se proporcionará redundancia en caso de que uno de los circuitos falle.
Cautions and Danger Notices CAUTION Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startupconfig file. PRECAUCIÓN Use el comando erase startup-config (borrar configuración de inicio) para sistemas nuevos solamente.
Cautions and Danger Notices CAUTION Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided for the system. A 3 cm clearance is recommended above the device and 8 cm clearance is recommended on each side. VORSICHT Assurez-vous que le circuit est correctement ventilé. Il est recommandé de conserver un espace de 3 cm au-dessus du dispositif, et de 8 cm sur chaque côté. MISE EN GARDE Stellen Sie sicher, dass das System ausreichend belüftet wird.
Danger notices CAUTION Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to ground surface. PRECAUCIÓN Antes de conectar un cable en cualquier puerto, asegúrese de descargar la tensión acumulada en el cable tocando la superficie de conexión a tierra con los contactos eléctricos. Danger notices A danger notification calls your attention to a possible hazard that can cause injury or death.
