Supported configurations
Supported configurations
Premium FastIron X Series chassis devices support Layer 2 switching and full Layer 3 multiprotocol routing. Standard devices support
Layer 2 and base Layer 3 switching. All standard FastIron X Series chassis devices can be upgraded to full Layer 3 multi-protocol
routing, at which time they are considered to be premium devices.
For a list of supported modules and management modules refer to the "Management Modules" section.
All FastIron X Series chassis devices optionally support Power over Ethernet (PoE), providing the means for integrating data, voice, and
video over existing Ethernet cables.

PoE and PoE+ applications
Brocade FastIron X Series chassis devices with PoE and PoE+ provide Power over Ethernet, compliant with the standards described in
the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at specification for delivering in-line power. The specifications define the standard for delivering power over
existing network cabling infrastructure, enabling multicast-enabled full streaming audio and video applications for converged services,
such as, Voice over IP (VoIP), WLAN access points, IP surveillance cameras, and other IP technology devices.
PoE technology eliminates the need for an electrical outlet and dedicated UPS near IP powered devices. With power sourcing devices,
such as Brocade's FastIron X Series chassis devices with PoE and PoE+, power is consolidated and centralized in the wiring closets,
improving the reliability and resiliency of the network. Because PoE can provide power over Ethernet cable, power is continuous, even in
the event of a power failure.

Hardware components
FastIron X Series chassis devices are composed of the following major hardware components:
•
Chassis
•
Management module, with optional dual management modules for full redundancy
•
Separate switch fabric modules (FSX 800 and FSX 1600 only)
•
Interface modules
•
Power supplies
•
In the FSX 800, a fan tray comprised of six fans and a fan control module
•
In the FSX 1600, two fan trays at the rear of the chassis and an air filter in the bottom front of the chassis
•
Built-in mounting brackets
The following sections provide more information about these components.
