Procedures in this manual are intended for qualified service personnel. Unpacking the device The Brocade ICX 7750 ships with all of the items listed in the following list. Verify the contents of your shipping container. If any items are missing, contact the place of purchase.
• Because the Brocade ICX 7750 can be ordered with fans that move air either front to back or back to front, be sure to orient your switch with the airflow pattern of any other devices in the rack. All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intake of exhaust air.
Ensure that the physical environment that will host the device has the proper “Installation and safety considerations” on page 11 cabling and ventilation. If customizing a Brocade ICX 7750 baseline chassis: “Installing and replacing a power supply unit” page 20 Install at least one power supply unit.
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails. DANGER To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on. Brocade ICX 7750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 53-1003900-02...
12.) • Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit. • Circuit overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded. Brocade ICX 7750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 53-1003900-02...
NOTE Use the following procedure when installing the Brocade ICX 7750 in a 2-post Telco rack only. If an ICX 7750 device is to be installed into a standard 4-post rack, make sure that the correct rack mount kit has been purchased. For 4-post racks, follow the procedures in “4-post rack mount installation”...
Kits for 4-post rack mounting are not included in the shipping carton and must be ordered separately. NOTE Use the following procedure when installing the Brocade ICX 7750 in a 4-post rack cabinet. For 2-post cabinets, follow the procedures in “2-post rack mount installation”...
Page 28
NOTE Use the hardware supplied in the 4-post mounting kit for mid-mounting the Brocade ICX 7750 in a 4-post rack. When front-flush or reverse mounting in a 4-post rack, use the L-shaped brackets from the 2-post rack mounting kit instead of those in the 4-post kit to prevent the side cooling vents from being blocked.
Grounding the system The rear panel of the Brocade ICX 7750 includes a single-screw grounding terminal. The surface area around this terminal is not painted to provide a good electrical connection. Before connecting power to the device, the grounding terminal must be connected to ground to ensure proper operation and to meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safety requirements.
CAUTION For Brocade ICX 7750 devices, be sure that the airflow direction of the power supply unit matches that of installed fan trays. The power supplies and fan trays are clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an “E”, or an orange arrow with an “I.”...
When you are sure the power supply has properly engaged the connector, tighten the retainer screws to secure the power supply in the slot. When the Brocade ICX 7750 is powered on, the LEDs on the power supply rear panel should light up green to confirm that the power supply is correctly installed and supplying power.
Page 32
AC and DC power supplies cannot be installed and used in the same device. Mismatched power supplies in the same device cause continual reboot on power up. Use the following steps to install a DC power supply in the Brocade ICX 7750. Remove the previously installed power supply from the appropriate slot by removing the chassis attachment screws located in the upper right and lower left of the power supply unit using a Phillips screwdriver.
When you are sure the power supply has properly engaged the connector, tighten the chassis attachment screws to secure the power supply in the slot. When the Brocade ICX 7750 is powered on, the power LED on the front of the device should turn green to confirm that the power supply is correctly installed and supplying power. Refer to “Brocade ICX 7750 front-panel LEDs”...
The Gigabit Ethernet management port (RJ-45) on the Brocade ICX 7750 rear panel provides an out-of-band network connection to the device. After you assign an IP address, you can access the Brocade ICX 7750 from anywhere in the attached network using Telnet, a web browser, or other network management tools, such as Brocade Network Advisor.
“Data port specifications (Ethernet)” on page 52. Connecting a network device to a copper port For copper connections to another Brocade device or any other devices, use straight-through or crossover UTP cabling. Brocade ICX 7750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 53-1003900-02...
Connecting breakout cables to 40 GbE ports A 40 GbE breakout cable can only be used on standalone Brocade ICX 7750 devices to break out certain 40 GbE QSFP+ ports into four 10 GbE sub-ports. (Refer to “Breakout cables”...
Any previous configuration must be removed from a 40 GbE port before it can be broken out into sub-ports. Refer to the Brocade FastIron Management Configuration Guide for more information. NOTE Stacking cannot be enabled on Brocade ICX 7750 devices that have a breakout configuration on any 40 GbE ports, and vice versa. Stacking Brocade ICX 7750 switches Brocade ICX 7750 devices support chassis-class high availability stacking with hitless failover on six full-duplex 40 Gbps stacking ports.
Unused stacking ports can be used as data ports. For example, you can elect to use only one default port as a stacking port and use the other default port as a data port. Furthermore, when a Brocade ICX 7750-6Q stacking module is not configured for stacking, its ports can be used as data ports.
10 kilometers for ICX 7750-26Q device only Stack size The Brocade ICX 7750 supports up to 12 units in a stack. You can mix any number of Brocade ICX 7750-26Q, Brocade ICX 7750-48F, or Brocade ICX 7750-48C devices together in a stack.
