Overview
This chapter provides instructions for maintaining the FastIron X Series chassis hardware.
DANGER
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
Hardware maintenance schedule
The FastIron X Serieschassis requires minimal maintenance for its hardware components. Brocade 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 replace the following hardware components as needed:
•
Management and interface modules
•
Switch fabric modules (FSX 800 and FSX 1600 only)
•
POE daughter card
•
Copper and fiber optic modules (SFPs (mini-GBICs), SFP+, and XFP transceivers)
•
Power supplies
•
Fan tray
•
Blowers (FSX 800 and FSX 1600 only)
•
Air filters
Cleaning the fiber optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC), SFP + or XFP) and the fiber cable connectors,
Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, dust can
accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
