Chapter Installing FastIron SX Devices 2 This chapter describes how to install your FastIron SX devices. DANGER The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel. NOTE Information about configuring IP addresses and connecting a FastIron SX chassis device to other network devices is covered in the Chapter 3, “Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity”. Unpacking the system FastIron SX devices ship with the following items.
2 Installation precautions Installation precautions Follow these precautions when installing the chassis. General precautions DANGER 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 C (104 F). CAUTION Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted. CAUTION If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place.
Installation precautions 2 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. However, Brocade recommends that you disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet before removing and replacing the supply.
2 Installation precautions 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. CAUTION For a DC system, use a grounding wire of at least 6 American Wire Gauge (AWG).
Preparing the installation site 2 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.
2 Removing extra shipment screws (FSX 800 only) 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.
Installing the chassis in a rack 2 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.
2 Installing the chassis in a rack 3. Start by mounting the chassis that goes in the lowest position in the rack, as shown in Figure 27. With two or more people lifting the chassis, slip the wide portion of each keyhole slot over the corresponding screw in the rack. FIGURE 27 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 FIGURE 28 2 Installing the mounting brackets on an FSX 1600 chassis. Empty chassis with slot panels in place Repeat step 3 through step 6 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. If you plan to install a module in a particular slot, you must first remove the slot panel.
2 Installing management and interface modules Installing management and interface modules This section provides the procedures for installing management and interface modules. Although the modules may differ in size and function, the procedure for installing them in the chassis is the same, with the exception of the NI-MLX-. The procedure described in this section applies to all FastIron X Series devices.
Installing management and interface modules 2 CAUTION If you do not install a module in a slot, you must leave the slot panel installed in the slot. If you operate the chassis with an uncovered empty slot, the system will overheat. Before installing a module in the chassis, have the following on hand: • A # Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver. • An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.

Managing the cooling system This section provides configuration, management, and monitoring information for the cooling system in FastIron X Series chassis devices.
Managing the cooling system 4 Automatic mode By default, the fans operate in automatic mode, self-adjusting their speed based on both of the following factors: • The current temperature of each thermal plane • The current configured temperature threshold ranges for all fan speeds The Brocade device has default temperature threshold ranges for fan speeds (Table 24). If desired, you can change these settings.
4 Managing the cooling system Changing temperature thresholds for thermal planes and fan speeds The cooling system in the FSX 800 includes six four-speed fans. The fans operate at speeds of low, medium-low, medium, and high. In general, each fan speed, except for low, has a low and high temperature threshold associated with it as shown in Figure 45. The low fan speed has a high temperature threshold only.
Managing the cooling system 4 Table 24 outlines the default low and high temperature thresholds for each fan speed, as well as the operating level and noise level of the fans at each fan speed.
4 Managing the cooling system Fan Speed Low Temperature Threshold High Temperature Threshold High 67 C 82 C Medium-high 57 C 72 C However, the Brocade device will not accept the following values because the low temperature threshold for the high speed (73 C) is higher than the high temperature threshold (72C) for the medium-high speed.
Managing the cooling system 4 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).
4 Managing 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.

Chapter Using a Redundant Management Module 5 Overview NOTE This chapter applies to the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis devices only. You can install a redundant management module in the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis. By default, the system considers the module installed in the lower-numbered slot to be the active management module, and the module installed in the higher-numbered slot to be the redundant or standby module.
5 How Management module redundancy works After the active and standby modules are determined, both modules boot from the source specified for the active module. The active management module boots from the active management module’s flash memory. After the modules boot, the active module synchronizes the standby module’s flash code and system-config file with its own.
How Management module redundancy works 5 When the switchover occurs, the standby module becomes the active module. Hitless switchover is also supported. For more information, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide. Removal and replacement of a management module For information about how to remove and replace a management module, refer to “Replacing a management module” on page 106.
5 Management module redundancy configuration 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. You can open new sessions with the new active module, provided that the new active module has the same management port connections.
Managing management module redundancy 5 Managing management module redundancy The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 support the following management tasks related to management module redundancy: • Perform immediate synchronization of files • Perform a manual switchover to the standby module • Reboot the standby module File synchronization between the active and standby management modules Each active and standby management module contains the following files that can be synchronized between the two modules: • Flash
5 Managing management module redundancy Figure 46 shows how the files are synchronized between the active module and the standby module.
