NOTE
ICL ports can be used only with an ICL license. After the addition or removal of a license, the license
enforcement is performed on the ICL ports only when the portdisable and portenable commands
are issued on the ports. An ICL license must be installed on all Brocade Backbones forming the ICL
connection. The backbones can be any combination of up to three PowerConnect B-DCX-4S and
PowerConnect B-DCX chassis.
ATTENTION
If ICL cables are not in use, the ports must have EMI plugs installed to meet EMI and other regulatory
certifications.
Table 12
describes the ICL connector port LED patterns and the recommended actions for those
patterns.
Follow this procedure to install the ICL cables. Refer to the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide
for the
configuration procedure and requirements
.
Figure 30
shows an ICL cable. The ICL cables (2 meters long) and the ICL connectors (

)
are color-coded and labeled for ease of installation. Four cables are required for a complete
installation.
Time Required
The replacement procedure for an ICL cable takes less than five minutes.
