The default is Auto Mode, but the user can override the default speed. (Mismatched speed conguration causes the link to be
disabled and a RASLog message to be sent.

Enabling FEC
Port FEC mode is supported only on 100G ports. FEC is disabled on 1/10/40-G Speeds (including breakout ports). Link peers must
be in the same FEC mode (RS-FEC). The FEC conguration is applied once speed change is initiated.

System controls
There are six fan trays, and all six must be installed for the device to operate normally. The device can be operated with fewer than six
fans, but a RASLog error message (HIL-1404) is issued.
ATTENTION
The airow direction must be the same for the fans and power supply units (PSUs). Otherwise, mismatched fans are disabled
and a RASLog error message is issued.

When using this product, observe all danger, caution, and attention notices in this manual. The safety notices are accompanied by
symbols that represent the severity of the safety condition.
Refer to Cautions and Danger Notices at the end of this guide for translations of safety notices for this product.
General precautions
DANGER
The procedures in this manual are for qualied service personnel.
DANGER
Before beginning the installation, see the precautions in “Power precautions.”
DANGER
Be careful not to accidently insert your ngers into the fan tray while removing it from the chassis. The fan may still be
spinning at a high speed.
CAUTION
Changes or modications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION
Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids the warranty and regulatory certications. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan assembly.
CAUTION
Make sure the airow around the front, and back of the device is not
restricted.
CAUTION
Ensure that the airow direction of the power supply unit matches that of the installed fan tray. The power supplies and fan
trays are clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an "E", or an orange arrow with an "I."
CAUTION
To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.
ExtremeSwitching SLX 9030 Hardware Installation Guide
9035691-02 Rev AD 19

CAUTION
Never leave tools inside the chassis.
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.
CAUTION
Use the screws specied in the procedure. Using longer screws can damage the
device.
CAUTION
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 50°C (122°F).
DANGER
Batteries used for RTC/NVRAM backup are not located in operator-access areas. There is a risk of explosion if a battery
is replace by an incorrect type. Dispose of used components with batteries according to local ordinance and regulations.
ESD precautions
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in
their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical
contacts to ground surface.
Power precautions
DANGER
If the installation requires a dierent power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord
displaying the mark of the safety agency that denes the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your
assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
DANGER
This device might have more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all power cords before
servicing.
DANGER
To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.
