Figure 1 shows the TurboIron 24X.
FIGURE 1 TurboIron 24X
TurboIron 24X contains the following ports:
•Twenty-four (24) SFP+ 10 Gigabit and Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports
•Four (4) 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports, supporting 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T RJ-45
connectors
Control features
TurboIron 24X front panel has the following control features:
•Serial management interface-DB-9 connector interface (Console Port)
•10/100/1000 RJ-45 Management Port
FIGURE 2 Console and management ports
Serial management interface (Console port)
The serial management interface (port labeled Console) enables you to configure and manage the
device using a third-party terminal emulation application on a directly-connected PC,
straight-through EIA or TIA DB-9 serial cable (M/F) is included. The console port is located in the
upper right of the front panel.
Management port
The Management port provides connectivity to your existing management network through
10/100/1000 copper ports that uses auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed
(10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other
end of the link, and adjusts port speed accordingly. The Management port on the TurboIron 24X
supports RJ-45 copper connectors, auto MDI or MDIX detection, and has an RJ-45 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) connector.

10 Gbps ports
Ports 1 - 24 support 1-GbE SFP transceivers and 10-GbE SFP and SFP+ transceivers listed in
Table 1. Figure 3 shows ports 1 - 24.
FIGURE 3 24 10-GbE ports
Four 10/100/1000 Mbps ports
The ports 25~28 are 10/100/1000 copper ports that use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to
determine the speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of
the port at the other end of the link, and adjust port speed accordingly.
10/100/1000 ports on the TurboIron 24X support RJ-45 copper connectors. The output of the
show media command displays Cnext to the ports that have copper connectors installed.
Gigabit copper ports on the TurboIron 24X support auto MDI or MDIX detection. For more
information about this feature, refer to "Configuring MDI/MDIX" in the FastIron and TurboIron 24X
Configuration Guide.

10GbE SFP+ transceiver
TurboIron 24X support a 10GbE SFP+ transceiver specifically for ports 1-24. LEDs on the module
faceplates indicate operational status:
•If the LED is on, the port is connected. If the LED is off, no connection exists, or the link is down
•If the LED is on or blinking, traffic is being transmitted and received on the port
LEDs for network interfaces and power supplies
The fiber and copper ports on TurboIron 24X provide status information through the LEDs listed in
Table 2. The LEDs for network interfaces and power supplies are:
•24 10-Gbps fiber ports (1~24 port) have LEDs located under each of them.
•Four 10/100/1000 copper ports (25~28) have Link and Activity LEDs to indicate port status.
•The Management port has a Link LED and Activity LED to indicate port status. The Link LED is
on the left of the copper connector and the Activity LED is on the right.
•The System power on LED is on the left side of the front panel.
•The dual power supply 1 and 2 LEDs are on the front panel of the power supply (when you are
facing the rear of the device).

Power supplies
Each TurboIron 24X device comes with dual alternating-current (AC) power supplies (RPS-TI24X).
Power supplies are hot-swappable.
Figure 4 shows the front panel of the AC power supplies used in the TurboIron 24X.
FIGURE 4 AC power supply front panel
The power supplies are auto-sensing and auto-switching, and provide up to 300 watts of total
output power, having a universal input (90 VAC to 264 VAC) and 12 VDC regulated output.
Power supplies can be swapped in or out of the device while the device is running, and without
opening the device. You can remove one of the supplies without interrupting operation because
the remaining power supply provides enough power for all of the ports.
For power supply hardware specifications, refer to “Power supply specifications” on page 55.
Power On the upper left side of the
front panel (when facing the
front of the device)
On The device is powered on and has
enough power to operate.

been powered on but does not have
sufficient power to operate.

CAUTION
Disconnect the power supply cable from the power source (outlet) before you install it in or
remove it from the device. Failure to do this can result in damage to the power supply or the
device, or both (the device can be running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but
the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source).
CAUTION
The TurboIron 24X power supply is designed exclusively for use with TurboIron 24X. Installing the
power supply in a device other than a TurboIron 24X will cause extensive damage to your
equipment.

General requirements
To manage the system, you will need the following items for serial connection to a Layer 2 or Layer
3 switch:
•A management station, such as a PC running a terminal emulation application.
•A straight-through EIA or TIA DB-9 serial cable (F/F). This cable can be ordered separately from
Brocade. If you prefer to build your own cable, refer to the pinout information in “Attaching a PC
or terminal” on page 20.
•Use the serial connection to perform basic configuration tasks, such as assigning an IP
address and network mask. This information is required to manage the system using the
IronView Network Manager or using the CLI through Telnet.
Summary of installation tasks
Follow the steps listed below to install your TurboIron 24X device. Details for each of these steps
are provided in this chapter and in the following chapter.
