Field-replaceable units (FRUs)
The switch has two power supply (Figure 4) and three fan assembly (Figure 5) FRUs that are redundant and hot
swappable. The FRUs are capable of functioning universally (100 - 240 VAC input range) without voltage jumpers or
switches. The power supply FRUs are identical and interchangeable; the fan assembly FRUs are also identical and
interchangeable.

Time and items required
You can set up and install the Brocade Encryption Switch in the following ways:
•As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
•In a 19-in. Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet, using the Fixed Rack Mount Kit (optional) or Slide
Rack Mount Kit (optional).
•In a mid-mount telecommunications (Telco) rack, using the Mid-Mount (Switch) Rack Kit (optional).
This chapter describes how to set up the switch as a standalone unit. For rack-mount installation instructions, refer
to the Fixed Rack Mount Rack Kit, the Slide Rack Mount Kit, or the Mid-Mount (Switch) Rack Kit Installation
Procedure.
Table 1 describes the main installation and setup tasks and the estimated time required for each, based. These
time estimates assume a prepared installation site and appropriate power and network connectivity.

Site preparation and installation guidelines
The following steps are required to ensure correct installation and operation.
1. Provide a space that is 2 rack units (2U) high. 1U is equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in.).
2. Plan to install the switch with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle. The switch can be installed facing
either direction, if serviceability and cooling requirements are met. Ensure that:
•A minimum of 53 cubic feet per minute (90.1 cubic meters per hour) of airflow is available to the air intake
vents on the nonport side of the switch.
•The air intake and exhaust vents have a minimum of 2 inches of airspace.
•The air temperature on the air intake side is less than 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) during
operation.
3. Ensure that dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:
•The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance with local
electrical codes.
•The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on the switch
nameplate.
•The power supply standards are met.
ATTENTION
To maximize fault tolerance, connect each power cord to a separate power source.
4. Plan for cable management before installing the chassis.
Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the
chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or by using patch panels.
5. For configuration of the switch:
•Plan for two IP addresses, and corresponding subnet masks and gateway addresses. One IP address for the
virtual IP address on the cluster interconnect; and another IP address for the management port.
•Ensure that the following is available:
•Workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal
•Serial cable (provided)
•Three Ethernet cables
•Access to an FTP server for backing up the switch configuration or collecting supportsave output data
(optional)
•A USB stick for collecting supportsave output data (optional)
•SFPs and compatible cables
NOTE

Items included with the switch
The following items are included with the standard shipment of the switch.
•The Brocade Encryption Switch, containing two power supplies and three fan assemblies
•One accessory kit containing:
•Serial cable with an RJ-45 connector.
•Two 6 ft. power cords
•Rubber feet for setting up the switch as a standalone unit
•Brocade family documentation CD
Installing a standalone switch
To install the switch as a standalone unit, complete the following steps.
1. Unpack the switch and verify the items listed in “Items included with the switch” are present.
2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. The rubber feet help to prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting
surface.
a. Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the switch to ensure that they are free of dust or
other debris that might lessen the adhesion of the feet.
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and press into place.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4. Provide power to the switch (“Powering on the switch”).
Powering on the switch
Follow these steps to power on the switch.
1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies and then to power sources on separate circuits to protect
against AC failure. Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6 in. available and are routed to avoid
stress.
2. Power on the power supplies by flipping both AC switches to the “1” symbol. The power supply LEDs display
amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. The switch usually requires approximately 3 minutes
to boot and complete POST.
NOTE
Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned on.
3. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power LED on the port side is green and the switch status LED on
the port side is off.
ATTENTION
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is set.
