This chapter contains an overview of the following FastIron X Series® Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches:
• FastIron SX 800 (FSX 800)
• FastIron SX 1600 (FSX 1600)
Designed for medium to large enterprise backbones, FastIron X Series chassis devices are modular switches that provide the enterprise
network with a complete end-to-end Enterprise LAN solution, from the wiring closet to the LAN backbone.
Hardware benets
FastIron X Series chassis devices provide the following benets:
• The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules have a console port and a 10/100/1000 port that provide connectivity
to your existing management network.
• The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules are interchangeable between devices. However, you cannot mix Second
Generation and Third Generation modules in the same device.
• Optional dual management modules on the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 provide full redundancy.
• The crossbar (xbar) architecture enables the management module to switch 30 Gigabits per second between each interface
module and within the management module to each of the fabrics.
• The interface modules and power supplies are interchangeable among all FastIron X Series chassis devices. However, you
cannot mix Second Generation and Third Generation modules in the same device.
• The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management, switch fabric, and interface modules are hot swappable, which means you can
remove and replace them while the device is powered on and running.
• All FastIron X Series chassis devices have a passive backplane.
• FastIron X Series chassis devices have completely separate data and control planes for uncompromised switching performance,
increased reliability of both planes, and increased security of the control plane in the event of a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on
the data plane.
• FastIron X Series chassis devices have distributed data and control planes, which results in uncompromised wire-speed
performance for the data plane and faster and more ecient performance of management functions for the control plane.
• The SX-FI-ZMR modules will work with systems with all second generation packet processor modules or all third generation
packet processor modules. The SX-FI-2XMR modules will only work with all third generation packet processor modules.
Software features
Software features dier depending on the software version that is loaded on the device and the type of management module that is
installed in the device. Refer to the appropriate conguration guide for a complete list of software features supported on your device.

Part Number: 53-1003613-04 13

Supported congurations
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.
TABLE 1 FastIron X Series supported congurations
Device Standard Premium (PREM) Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE
+)
FSX 800 Yes Yes Yes (FI-SX-24-GPP and FI-
SX48GPP modules only)
FSX 1600 Yes Yes Yes (FI-SX-24-GPP and FI-
SX48GPP modules only)
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 specication for delivering in-line power. The specications dene 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.
For PoE port density, refer to PoE port density on page 43. For PoE+ port density, refer to PoE+ port density on page 43.
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 lter in the bottom front of the chassis
• Built-in mounting brackets
The following sections provide more information about these components.
For details about physical dimensions, power supply specications, and pinouts, refer to the “Hardware Specications” section.

FSX 800 chassis
The FSX 800 chassis is six rack units in height and contains the following component slots:
• Two half slots for management modules
• Two half slots for switch fabric modules
• Eight half slots for interface modules
• Four slots for power supplies along the bottom of the card shelf. The power supply slots add a rack unit (RU) to the height of the
chassis.
FIGURE 1 FSX 800 chassis and component slots
The FSX 800 chassis ships from the factory with the following components installed:
• Two switch fabric modules
• A slot panel in each empty interface module slot and power supply slot. The slot panels ensure proper airow within the chassis.
• One AC power supply
• A fan tray assembly, which contains the cooling system for the chassis
Hardware components

Before installing any modules or power supplies, you must remove the slot panel.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot ller panel in place. If you run the chassis
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
The gure below shows the FSX 800 slots where you install modules and power supplies, and the electrostatic discharge (ESD)
connector, into which you can plug an ESD wrist strap to ground yourself while handling and installing modules.

FSX 1600 devices ship from the factory with the following components installed:
• Two switch fabric modules
• A slot panel in each empty interface module slot and power supply slot. The slot panel ensures proper airow within the chassis.
• Two AC power supplies
• A fan tray assembly, which contains the cooling system for the chassis
You can install the following components in the slots:
• Up to two management modules
• Up to 16 single slot and up to 8 double slot interface modules
• Up to eight AC or DC power supplies (four system (SYS) power supplies and four PoE power supplies)
Before installing any modules or power supplies, you must remove the slot panel.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot ller panel in place. If you run the chassis
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
