Pre-connection cleaning recommendations
TheICX 7250 devices require minimal maintenance for their hardware components. However, Brocade recommends cleaning the fiber-
optic connectors on a fiber-optic port and the connected fiber cable each time you disconnect or reconnect the cable as shown in
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors on page 100.
Copper or fiber-optic module replacement
You can replace the copper and fiber-optic modules (SFP and SFP+ transceivers). You can remove an SFP or an SFP+ transceiver from
a slot and replace it with a new one while the ICX 7250 device is powered on and running.
Removing a copper or fiber-optic module
You can remove a copper or fiber SFP or SFP+ transceiver from a slot while the ICX 7250 device is powered on and running.
While removing a copper or fiber-optic module, be sure to wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that can be inserted in the ESD connector
on the ICX 7250 device.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
To remove a copper or fiber-optic module from an SFP or SFP+ slot, complete the following steps.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack).
2. Disconnect the copper or fiber cable connector from the port connector.
3. Unlock the copper or fiber-optic module by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel of the module. This unlocks
the module from the front panel.
NOTE
On 1000Base-SX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000Base-LX ports, the bail latch is
enclosed in a blue sleeve.
