Attaching a switch to an Ethernet port
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet copper ports on the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management module and
the combination Gigabit Ethernet copper and fiber ports on the FSX management module allow you
to attach a networking switch. A management station in your existing management network can
then access the Brocade switch using the Brocade Network Advisor.
For more information, refer to “Connecting network devices” on page 70.
Powering on the system
After you complete the hardware installation, you can power on the system. Verify that all modules
and power supplies are fully and properly installed and no module slots are uncovered.
Note the following precautions before powering on the system.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
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.
NOTE
If the wall outlet is not rated 115 or 120V and 20A, stop and get the appropriate cable for the outlet.
Make sure you obtain 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.
NOTE
The wall outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
NOTE
The FastIron X Series switch is designed to provide uninterrupted service even when you insert or
remove the interface modules. Therefore, the system does not have a separate on or off power
switch. To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cords.
