Safety precautions CAUTION To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use. CAUTION Never leave tools inside the chassis. CAUTION If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat. CAUTION Use the screws specified in the procedure. Using longer screws can damage the device.
Safety precautions DANGER Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device. DANGER This device might have more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all power cords before servicing. CAUTION To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on. CAUTION Use a separate branch circuit for each power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.
Facility requirements DANGER Laser radiation. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Class 1M laser products. DANGER Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 825 and EN60825. Optical products that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.
Facility requirements • Allow for twisted-pair cables to be routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters. • Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.6 ft) of each device, and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.

Managing cables Managing cables The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load. Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, for example, using cable channels on the sides of the rack or patch panels to minimize cable management. Follow these recommendations: NOTE You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.
Replacing a fiber-optic transceiver DANGER Laser radiation. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Class 1M laser products. Use the following steps to install a transceiver. 1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground. 2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging. 3. Remove any protector plugs from the transceivers and the ports. 4.
Connecting network devices DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor. To remove a fiber-optic transceiver from a QSFP28 slot, do the following. 1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack). 2. Disconnect the fiber cable connector from the port connector. 3. Unlock the fiber-optic transceiver by pulling the pull tab forward, away from the front of the slot.
Connecting network devices To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must complete the following tasks: • • Install a fiber-optic transceiver (QSFP+/QSFP28). Refer to “Installing a fiber-optic transceiver” on page 40. Cable the fiber-optic transceiver Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver Use the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver. 1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use. 2.

Precautions specific to power supplies FIGURE 31 AC power supply 1 Release lever 2 Power supply handle 2 Release lever FIGURE 32 DC power supply 1 Power supply handle Precautions specific to power supplies DANGER Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the device to connect it to the power source.
Identifying the airflow direction 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. CAUTION Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids the warranty and regulatory certifications.
Time and items required Time and items required Installing or removing and replacing a power supply should require less than five minutes to complete. A new power supply (with the same airflow direction as the power supply being replaced) is required to replace a power supply. Replacing a power supply When installing or replacing a power supply unit, keep in mind the following: • Power supplies can be swapped in or out while the device is running.
Inserting a new DC power supply 3. Before opening the package that contains the power supply, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity. Brocade recommends using an ESD wrist strap during installation. 4. Remove the power supply from the anti-static shielded bag. 5.
Inserting a new DC power supply 2. Prepare the power and safety grounding wires using the appropriate size wire. Crimp on ring lugs and heat shrink tube for all three wires. Due to the limited space for the safety ground wire, Brocade recommends using a 90-degree angled lug such as: • • TE Connectivity Solistrand “16-14HD 90 Ring 8,” part number 184269-1 for 14 AWG wire. PIDG 12-10 Ring #8, 90-DEG, part number 1958340-1 for 12 or 10 AWG wire. 3.
Grounding the Brocade SLX 9240 switch Grounding the Brocade SLX 9240 switch The rear panel of the Brocade SLX 9240 switch includes a dual-screw grounding terminal for NEBS-compliant grounding. The surface area around this terminal is not painted to provide a good electrical connection. Before connecting power to the device, the grounding terminal must be connected to ground to meet NEBS compliance.
Grounding the Brocade SLX 9240 switch NOTE The terminal for the connection of a grounding conductor is not to be used with an aluminum conductor. NOTE To ensure adequate bonding when attaching the ground lug, a minimum of 20 in-lb (2.76 Nm) of torque is required to be applied to the mounting hardware used to attach the ground lug.

Precautions specific to fan assemblies Precautions specific to fan assemblies DANGER Be careful not to accidently insert your fingers into the fan tray while removing it from the chassis. The fan may still be spinning at a high speed. CAUTION Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids the warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan assembly.
Time and items required Time and items required Installing or removing and replacing a fan assembly should require less than five minutes to complete. The following items are required to replace a fan assembly: • • New fan assembly (must have the same airflow direction as the fan assembly being replaced) #1 Phillips screwdriver Replacing a fan assembly When installing or replacing a fan assembly unit, keep in mind the following: • Fan assemblies can be swapped in or out while the device is running.
Inserting a new fan assembly a. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the captive screw on the filler panel. b. Remove the filler panel. 3. Before opening the package that contains the new fan assembly, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity. It is recommended that you wear an ESD wrist strap during installation. 4. Remove the fan assembly from the anti-static shielded bag. NOTE Do not force the installation.
