Hardware maintenance schedule
Brocade routers require minimal maintenance for hardware components. It is recommended that you perform the following regular
maintenance tasks:
Clean the ber-optic connectors on a ber-optic transceiver port and the connected ber cable each time you disconnect the
cable.
Replace the air lters (included with NEBS kits) quarterly or as needed.
You can also replace the following hardware components, as needed:
All modules (management, interface, and switch fabric modules).
Fiber-optic transceivers.
AC power supply modules.
AC or DC power supply modules.
Fan modules.
NOTE
The management, interface, and switch fabric modules are dedicated modules, which means that you must install them in
Brocade routers only. If you install these modules in another Brocade device, or you install a module intended for another
Brocade device in a Brocade router, the device and modules will not function properly.
