Connecting network devices
Brocade devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other Brocade devices.
Connectors
For port pinouts, refer to the "Serial port specifications (pinout mini-USB)" section.
Connecting a network device to a fiber port
For direct attachment from the device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, using a fiber-optic transceiver, you need fiber cabling with an LC
connector.
For information about transceivers supported on the Brocade ICX 6650, refer to the following Brocade website:
http://www.myBrocade.com/downloads/documents/data_sheets/product_data_sheets/Optics_DS.pdf
To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must perform the following tasks:
•
Install a fiber-optic transceiver (SFP or SFP+).
•
Cable the fiber-optic transceiver.
Installing a transceiver
You can install a new transceiver in an SFP+ slot while the device is powered on and running.
While installing a transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Use the following steps to install a transceiver:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act
as ground.
2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver
Perform the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver.
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.
NOTE
Before cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port
connectors. For more information, refer to
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
on page 62.
