Installing a FastIron Compact Switch
Installing the device
9.
With one hand, hold the bar on the front panel of the power supply. With the other hand, support the underside of the power
supply, and insert the power supply into the empty power supply slot. Press until the supply is completely in the slot, so that the
connectors on the back of the supply are fully engaged with the pins on the power backplane.
Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside down,
although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down. The power supply is
right-side up when the power connector is on the left and the fan vent is on the right.
10. Press the two latches near the edges of the supply outward to lock the supply in place.
11. If necessary, replace the power supply locking screw.
12. After the power supply is properly inserted, connect the power source to the wires to activate the circuit.
Installing the device
You can install Brocade systems on a desktop, in an equipment rack, or on the wall.
Desktop installation
To install the device on a desktop, complete the following steps.
1.
Set the device on a flat desktop, table, or shelf. Make sure that adequate ventilation is provided for the system – a 3 in. clearance

Rack mount installation
For rack mount installation, Brocade recommends that you use a Telco equipment rack.
The Brocade FastIron compact device supports two different rack mount kits; a kit with short mounting brackets which ships with the
device, and a kit with long mounting brackets (19 in.), which you can order separately from Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (part
number 70166-000). Use the long mounting brackets to prevent the Brocade device from sagging when installed in a non-compliant
(non-Telco) equipment rack.
In addition to the rack mount kit, you will need the following tools for installation:
•
#2 Phillips-head screwdriver
