The FGS624P, FGS624P-STK, FGS624P-POE, and FGS624P-POE-STK have one connector slot
on the main board for a single POE daughter card, which provides support for POE
power-consuming devices on all 24 10/100/1000 ports.
•
The FGS648P, FGS648P-STK, FGS648P-POE, and FGS648P-POE-STK have two connector slots
on the main board for two POE daughter cards. A single POE daughter card provides support
for POE power-consuming devices on 24 10/100/1000 ports. As you look at the front of the
device, a POE daughter card in the left-most connector slot provides POE for ports 1 – 24, and
the right-most connector slot provides POE for ports 25 – 48.
To install or replace a POE daughter card, you must have the following on hand:
•
A POE daughter card (part number FGS-24GCPOE), which you can order from Brocade.
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the FGS device.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
•
A #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
