Hardware maintenance schedule
DANGER
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
The ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 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 the cable.
Copper or fiber-optic module replacement
You can replace the copper and fiber-optic modules (SFP transceivers). You can remove an SFP transceiver from a slot and replace it
with a new one while the ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device is powered on and running.

Removing a copper or fiber-optic module

You can remove a copper or fiber SFP transceiver from a slot while the ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 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 6430 or ICX 6450 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 slot, do the following.
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.
