PoE Firmware files
Table 19 lists the PoE firmware file types supported for IronWare Release 07.2.02j. The firmware files
are specific to their devices and are not interchangeable. For example, you cannot load FCX PoE
firmware on a FSX device. IronWare Software Release R07.2.02j.

NOTE: The PoE circuitry includes a microcontroller pre-programmed at Brocade factory. In the past, a
copy of the current microcontroller code was embedded as part of the FastIron software releases and
was used for upgrades if necessary. Two different types of PoE controller code sets were included for
PoE and POE+ subsystems. That is no longer the case, and the software has been enhanced so that it can
be loaded as an external file. The microcontroller code has not changed in this release, so there is no
current need for an upgrade.
Should a new version of POE code be released, Brocade will notify its customers of the needed code
upgrade. Finally, in the remote case that a failure occurs during an upgrade process, the switch would
