Hardware maintenance schedule

FLS devices require minimal maintenance for the hardware components. Brocade recommends

cleaning the fiber-optic connectors on a fiber-optic port and the connected fiber cable each time

you disconnect the cable.

In addition, you can replace the following hardware components as needed:

• Copper and fiber optic modules (SFPs (mini-GBICs) and XFP transceivers)

• 10 Gbps Ethernet module

Installing or replacing a 10 Gbps Ethernet module

The 1-port and 10 Gbps Ethernet modules are optional. FLS-STK models come with modules

installed, but you can remove or replace them if necessary. You can order the FLS with a 10 Gbps

module installed at the factory, or you can upgrade your device later.

This section provides the steps for installing, removing, and replacing the 10 Gbps Ethernet

module. You will need the following tools to perform these procedures:

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) kit.
