Hardware Maintenance and Replacement

This chapter contains the following sections:

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.
