Hardware maintenance
The procedures in this guide are for qualified service personnel.
The FastIron compact switch requires minimal maintenance for its hardware components. Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
recommends cleaning the fiber-optic connectors on a fiber-optic port and the connected fiber cable each time you disconnect the cable.
Otherwise, you can install or replace the following hardware components as needed:
•
Copper and fiber optic modules (SFPs (mini-GBICs) and XFP transceivers)
•
Power supplies
•
CPU Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)
•
10-Gigabit Ethernet module
Replacing a power supply
You can replace a power supply while the FastIron switch is powered on and running. The power supplies are located in slots at the rear of
the FastIron switch.
This section provides information about the following topics:
•
Installation precautions and warnings
•
Determining which power supply has failed, if necessary.
•
Replacing a power supply.
Power supplies are hot swappable. However, Brocade recommends that you disconnect the power supply
from AC power before installing or removing the supply. The device can be running while a power supply is
being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source.
Otherwise, you could be injured or the power supply or other parts of the device could be damaged.
