NOTE
Starting with Brocade ServerIron ADX release 12.2.1, the label for the Application Switch Module
(ASM) is changed from 'SI-ASM8' to 'SI-ASM'. Note that both represent the same underlying
hardware. The number of available application cores in the ASM module can be verified from the
output of the show version and the show license commands.

Brocade ServerIron ADX Installation Guide 7

ServerIron ADX Chassis device modules 1
ServerIron ADX 4000 systems accommodate up to two ASMs. ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron
ADX 10000 systems accommodate up to four ASMs. Each ASM has the following features:
•Eight Application Cores (the number of application cores avaialable depends on the license
that is bound to the module)
•One front-panel DB9 console port for Application Core access
There are two versions of the ASM.
ASM4 – Available only with the ServerIron ADX 4000 bundle, the ASM4 has 4 of the available 8
Application Processors enabled. It will only work in a ServerIron ADX 4000 chassis and only in
a single ASM configuration. If an additional ASM4 module is installed, only the ASM4 module
installed in the ASM 1 slot will be accepted. If an ASM8 module is installed in a system with an
ASM4 module, the ASM4 will be rejected and the ASM8 module will be accepted by the
system. You can purchase an upgrade license to increase the capability of an ASM4 to that of
an ASM8. The ASM4 license is tied to the ASM module and not to the chassis. Consequently, a
license can be purchased to upgrade the ASM4 to use all eight available Application
Processors with all functionality and performance options enabled. With this license installed,
the ASM module functions and is recognized as an ASM8 module
ASM8 – All 8 Application processors are enabled on an ASM8 module. It can be installed in any
ServerIron ADX chassis configuration in any ASM designated slot.
ManagementModule(MM)
Figure 9 shows the Management Module (MM) front panel.
FIGURE9 MMFrontPanel
ServerIron ADX 4000 systems accommodate one MM. ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron ADX
10000 systems accommodate up to two MMs. Each MM includes the following:
•Dual core management processor
•One dedicated out-of-band management port (10/100/1000 Ethernet)
•One front-accessible USB port
•One front-panel DB9 console port for access to the MM
•One optional hardware-based SSL processing module
NOTE
The auxiliary console port on the right and the ethernet ports labeled Aux1 & Aux2 are not
currently available. They are reserved for future use.

SwitchFabricModule(SFM)
Figure 10 shows the Switch Fabric Module (SFM) front panel. One SFM is required for ServerIron
ADX 4000. Two are required for ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron ADX 10000.

The front panel includes a LED that, when lit, indicates that the module is receiving power.
SSLExpansionModule
A ServerIron ADX management module can be upgraded to provide hardware-based, SSL
acceleration. This is available through installation of the SSL Expansion Module onto a ServerIron
ADX Management module. Figure 9 shows the Management Module (MM)

Power supplies 1
Powersupplies
This section describes the supported power supply configurations.
DANGER
The power supplies are hot swappable, which means they can be removed and replaced while
the ServerIron ADX chassis is powered on and running. However, Brocade recommends that you
disconnect a power supply from its power source before removing and replacing the supply. The
ServerIron ADX 4000, ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron ADX 10000 chassis can be running
while a power supply is removed and replaced, but the power supply itself should not be
connected to a power source.
ServerIronADX1000andServerIronADX1000Fpowersupplies
ServerIron ADX 1000 and SServerIron ADX 1000F raccommodate up to two power supplies (AC or
DC) with one required and one redundant.
You install the power supplies (AC or DC) at the back of the chassis. Each power supply has one
LED on its faceplate to provide status. For more information about operation of the power supply
LED, refer to Table 2 on page 43. For power supply specifications, refer to “Power specifications”
on page 57.
ServerIronADXchassisdevicepowersupplies
ServerIron ADX 4000 accommodates up to two power supplies (AC or DC) with one required and
one redundant.
ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron ADX 10000 accommodate up to four power supplies (AC or
DC) with two required and one or two redundant. Because power is supplied over a common power
bus, any power supply purchased in addition to the two required will provide backup for any supply
that fails. Equipping a ServerIron ADX 8000 or ServerIron ADX 10000 with two additional power
supplies provides full redundancy for both of the required power supplies.
For power supply specifications, refer to “Power specifications” on page 57.
You install the power supplies (AC or DC) in the slots along the bottom of the chassis (ServerIron
ADX 4000 or ServerIron ADX 8000) or along the right side of the chassis (ServerIron ADX 10000).
The installed power supplies provide power to all chassis components, sharing the workload
equally and reporting their status to the Management Module (MM). If the MM detects that one of
these power supplies has failed or overheated, the MM will redistribute the failed power supply
workload to the remaining power supplies.
Each power supply has three LEDs on its faceplate that provide status for the input power, output
power and notification of alarms sent. If the input power and output power LEDs are on (a steady
green), the power supply is providing power to the chassis components. For more information about
operation of the power supply LEDs, see the AC and DC power supply sections in Table 3 on
page 46. The power supplies are hot swappable, which means you can remove and replace them
without powering down the system.

Cooling systems
1
NOTE
After a power supply is removed from a ServerIron ADX 4000, ServerIron ADX 8000 or ServerIron
ADX 10000 chassis, the software determines if there is enough power to power-on the interface
modules. If it determines that there is not enough power, some interface modules are powered off.
Coolingsystems
Upon system startup, the fans in ServerIron ADX run at medium speed, and the speed is changed
to low. The fans switch to high speed only if the temperature sensors detect a need for additional
cooling.
By default, ServerIron ADX polls the temperature sensor on each module every 60 seconds to get a
temperature reading. Depending on the temperature readings for the modules, the system can do
the following:
•Leave the fan speed as is
•Increase the fan speed
•Decrease the fan speed
•Shut down a module to prevent damage
If the temperature exceeds specified high temperature thresholds, the system generates a syslog
message and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap. The system can also shut a
module down if the temperature exceeds the highest threshold. You can change default low and
high temperature thresholds for modules and fan speeds through software.
ServerIronADX1000andServerIronADX1000Fcoolingsystem
The ServerIron ADX 1000 and ServerIron ADX 1000F are equipped with a fan tray containing
variable-speed fans and fan controllers. Figure 12 shows how the fan assembly slides into the back
of the chassis.
