Installing the Brocade ICX 7450
Installation and safety considerations

NOTE
A stacking cable is not included in the shipping carton and must be ordered separately.

Installation and safety considerations

You can install the Brocade ICX 7450 in the following ways:

• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.

• In an EIA rack using a fixed-rail rack mount kit. The optional 4-post universal rack mount kit can be ordered from your switch
retailer to support up to a 30-inch deep rack. The 4-post rack mount kit includes mid-mount and rear-mount brackets.
• In a 2-post Telco rack using a flush-mount rack kit. The 2-post rack mount ears are included with the switch and support various
mounting positions (refer to Figure 2).

Electrical considerations
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure compliance with the following requirements:

• 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.

Environmental considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental requirements are met:

• Because the Brocade ICX 7450 can be ordered with fans that move air either front to back or back to front, be sure to orient
your switch with the airflow pattern of any other devices in the rack. All equipment in the rack should force air in the same
direction to avoid intake of exhaust air.
• Some combinations of intake and exhaust airflows may not be compatible with your environment. Consult your fan and power
supply module FRU kit to determine the correct configuration.
• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 50°C (122°F) while the switch is operating.

Location considerations
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Devices can be mounted in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface.

The site should meet the following requirements:

• Maintain the operating environment as specified in “Environmental considerations” on page 24.

• The Brocade ICX 7450 should be installed with its top and bottom covers parallel to the floor. The Brocade ICX 7450 should
not be installed upside down.
• Allow a minimum of 3 in. of space between the front and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions for proper airflow.
• Allow at least 3 in. of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling.
• Allow access for installing, cabling, and maintaining the devices.
• Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.

24 Brocade ICX 7450 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Part Number: 53-1003899-04
 • Allow for twisted-pair cables to be routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and other sources of electrical
interference, such as radios and transmitters.
• Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2
m (6.6 ft) of each device, and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge
suppressor is recommended.

Rack considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch in a rack, ensure the following rack requirements are met:

• The rack must be a standard EIA rack.

• The equipment in the rack is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintains ground at all times. Do not rely
on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
• Airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multi rack
assembly.
• The additional weight of the switch does not exceed the rack’s weight limits or unbalance the rack in any way.
• The rack is secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an earthquake.

Recommendations for cable management

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways; for example, use cable channels on the sides of the rack or patch panels to
reduce the potential for tangling the cables. The following list provides some recommendations for cable management:

CAUTION
Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge any static charge stored on the cable by touching the electrical
contacts to ground surface.

NOTE
You should not use tie wraps with fiber-optic cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optical fibers.
Velcro-like wraps are recommended.

• Plan for the rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.
• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the switch, allows for
inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
• For easier maintenance, label the cables and record the devices to which they are connected.
• Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.

Installation tasks
Follow the steps listed in Table 1 to install your device. Details for each of these steps are provided on the pages indicated.

Installing the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296)

Use the following instructions to install a device in EIA racks that are between L-12.7 to 81.28 cm deep (L-5.0 to 32.0 in.), where L is the
chassis depth, using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296).

There are two ways you can mount the device in a four-post rack:

• With the port side flush with the front posts

• With the nonport side flush with the rear posts in a recessed position
A recessed position allows a more gradual bend in the fiber-optic cables connected to the switch and less interference in the aisle at the
front of the rack.

NOTE
Although this document describes how to install both single height (1U) and double height (2U) switches, the illustrations show a
1U switch as a typical installation.

NOTE
Hardware devices illustrated in these procedures are only for reference and may not depict the device you are installing into the
rack.

42 Brocade ICX 7450 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Part Number: 53-1003899-04
Installation requirements
Provide space in an EIA rack with the following minimum and maximum distances between the front and back posts.

NOTE
For 1U and 2U devices, two people are required to install the device in a rack. One person holds the device, while the other screws
in the front and rear "L" brackets.

TABLE 2 Space requirements

Chassis with port-side Notes Chassis depth Minimum rack depth Maximum rack depth
side vents

No Applicable to port-side and nonport-side flush mounts. L L-12.7 cm (L-5 in.) 81.28 cm (32 in.)

Yes Applicable to port-side flush mounts. L L-12.7 cm (L-5 in.) 81.28 cm (32 in.)

Yes Applicable to nonport-side flush mounts. L L 81.28 cm (32 in.)

Note that if chassis depth (L) is less than 40.64 cm (16 in.), the chassis will not fit into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.)
using the universal four-post rack kit. The maximum rack depth for a chassis less than 40.64 cm (16 in.) is 81.28 cm (32 in.) minus the
difference between the chassis depth and 40.64 cm (16 in.). For example, a chassis with a depth (L) of 35.56 cm (14 in.) is 5.08 cm (2
in.) smaller than 40.64 cm (16 in.), so it will install into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) - 5.08 cm (2 in.) = 76.2 cm (30
in.).

Review the installation and facility requirements for your product before mounting the device. Refer to “Facility requirements” on page 10
for more information.

Time and items required

Allow 15 to 30 minutes to complete the installation.

Connecting devices in a stack

The Brocade ICX 7450 can operate as a standalone device or as a member of a stack. A stack is a group of devices—Brocade stackable
units and their connected stacking links—that are connected so that the stack is managed as a single entity.

You can mix any Brocade ICX 7450 models together in a stack. A stack cannot contain other device types.

Stacking ports
There are two QSFP+ ports on the rear panel that can be used as stacking ports. The following figure shows these ports in slot 3 and slot
4 (right to left).

FIGURE 30 Stacking ports (rear panel)

1 Module 3 – 40 GbE QSFP+ stacking port 1/3/1 2 Module 4 – 40 GbE QSFP+ stacking port 1/4/1

Ports 1/3/1 and 1/4/1 are default stacking ports. Default stacking ports have the capability to accept special stacking packets during a
CLI-initiated command sequence of the Secure Setup utility.

The 4x10 GbE SFP+ ports on the front panel can also be used as stacking ports. The following figure shows these ports in slot 2. 10 GbE
stacking is not supported in slots 3 and 4. The 4x10 GbE copper module (ICX7400-4X10GC) does not support stacking.

Connecting devices in a stack

FIGURE 31 Stacking ports (front panel)

Default stacking ports can be changed to Ports 1/2/1 and 1/2/3 if a 4x10 GbE SFP+ module is installed in slot 2. Refer to the Brocade
FastIron Stacking Configuration Guide for more information on configuring 4x10 Gbps stacking ports.

NOTE
40 Gbps stacking on the rear panel and 4x10 Gbps stacking on the front panel cannot be configured at the same time

Stacking configuration requirements

Before configuring the stack using the CLI, physically connect the devices using stacking cables. For information about configuring a
stack, refer to the Brocade FastIron Stacking Configuration Guide.

Stacking cables
Use QSFP+ direct attached copper stacking cables or QSFP+ optics with fiber cables to connect the Brocade ICX 7450 devices in a
stack. The copper cable lengths for 40 GbE ports are 0.5 meter, 1 meter, 3 meters, or 5 meters.

NOTE
Stacking cables are not included in the shipping carton and must be ordered separately.

Stack size
A traditional stack can contain a maximum of twelve Brocade ICX 7450 devices. A stack cannot contain other device types.

Stacking topologies
Both linear and ring topologies are supported in a stack. In a linear stack topology, there is a connection between each switch that carries
two-way communications across the stack.

For example, in a four-unit stack using a linear topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 to unit 3, and unit 3 to unit 4.

Figure 32 shows a supported rear panel linear stacking topology.

54 Brocade ICX 7450 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Part Number: 53-1003899-04
FIGURE 32 Rear panel linear stacking topology

In a ring stack topology, there is an extra connection between the logical first and last devices, forming a “ring” or “closed-loop.” The
closed-loop connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if one link fails, stack communications can be maintained.

For example, in a three-unit stack using a ring topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 connects to unit 3, and unit 3 connects to unit 1.

Figure 33 shows a supported rear panel ring stacking topology.

FIGURE 33 Rear panel ring stacking topology

The following figures show linear and ring stacking using slot 2 on the front panel. Only the ICX7400-4X10GF module supports stacking
using slot 2.

Grounding the system

The rear panel of the Brocade ICX 7450 includes a single-screw grounding terminal. The surface area around this terminal is not painted
to provide a good electrical connection. Before connecting power to the device, the grounding terminal must be connected to ground to
ensure proper operation and to meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safety requirements.

FIGURE 36 Connecting the grounding terminal

1 Grounding terminal

NOTE
Use the grounding lug and screw included in the Brocade ICX 7450 grounding kit.

Perform the following steps to connect to the grounding terminal.

1. Ensure that the rack in which the Brocade ICX 7450 is mounted is properly grounded and in compliance with local regulations.

2. Ensure that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).

3. Crimp the included grounding lug to a grounding wire of at least 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 12 AWG wire and
grounding lug should be crimped together using a proper tool.

4. Attach the 12 AWG stranded copper wire to the grounding terminal on the Brocade ICX 7450 using the screw included in the
grounding kit.

56 Brocade ICX 7450 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Part Number: 53-1003899-04
 5. Attach the grounding wire to the grounding point on the rack.

NOTE
The terminal for the connection of a grounding conductor is not to be used with an aluminum conductor.

Powering on the system

After you complete the physical installation, you can power on the system.

1. Install alternating-current (AC) and direct-current (DC) power supplies in the switch.

2. Attach AC or DC power cables to the power supply connectors on the rear panel.

3. Connect the power cables to the 100-240 VAC or 40-72 VDC power source.

NOTE
To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cable or cables.

NOTE
The equipment should be installed near a power source and in an easily accessible location.

Power supplies
The Brocade ICX 7450 supports alternating-current (AC) and direct-current (DC) power supplies. The Brocade ICX 7450 is capable of
running on one power supply and one fan. The second power supply and second fan provide redundancy.

If the second power supply and second fan slot are unused, you must cover them with filler panels.

NOTE
Brocade recommends that the Brocade ICX 7450 switch operates with two power supplies and two fan trays installed. If a power
supply or fan tray fails, it must be replaced as soon as possible.

NOTE
AC and DC power supplies cannot be installed and used in the same device. Mismatched power supplies in the same device
cause continual reboot on power up.

Power supply usage

The Brocade ICX 7450-24P, ICX 7450-32ZP, and ICX 7450-48P models support specific AC or DC power supply inputs and
numbers of POE, POE+, High PoE, and PoH ports.

Using a second power supply

In the event of an AC power loss or power supply failure, a redundant power supply (second power supply) can be installed as a backup
power source to a switch. Each power supply provides a load-sharing and redundant power source (up to 250 W AC or 510 W DC for
non-PoE switches, and 1000 W AC or 510 W DC for PoE switches).

Brocade recommends that you pay attention to the PoE, PoE+, High PoE, and PoH port configuration (referred to as PoE in this section)
of the switch when using a redundant power supply. When using a single power supply, a PoE switch has a maximum number of
supported PoE ports. Brocade recommends that when a redundant power source is used for a PoE switch, that the maximum number of
PoE ports supported by the switch must not exceed that which can be supported by a single power supply.

For example, a Brocade ICX 7450-24P has two power supplies installed. If you increase the maximum number of PoE ports that can be
supported, and if the primary power supply fails, the redundant power supply cannot guarantee the device is protected by backup power.
The redundant power supply will not have enough power to sustain the failed primary power supply. In this case, the device can go down
even with the redundant power supply connected.

Installing and replacing a power supply unit

When installing or replacing a power supply unit, keep in mind the following:

• Power supplies can be swapped in or out while the device is running. The remaining power supply provides enough power for
the device.
• The airflow direction of the power supply must match that of the installed fan trays. All must be either exhaust or intake.

CAUTION
Power supplies are hot-swappable. However, they should be inserted or removed without a power cord being connected to a
power source to avoid damage.

CAUTION
For Brocade ICX 7450 devices, be sure that the airflow direction of the power supply unit matches that of installed fan trays.
The power supplies and fan trays are clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an “E”, or an orange arrow with an “I.”

Installing an AC power supply

LED activity interpretation

System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.

There are three possible LED states: off (no light), a steady light, and a flashing light. Flashing lights may be slow, fast, or flickering. The
LED colors are either green or amber.

Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal; it does not indicate a problem
unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete.

Diagnostic tests and monitoring

Brocade FastIron software includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware. System diagnostic software is designed to
fulfill the purpose of offline diagnostics. In offline diagnostics, you must turn the diagnostic flags on or off to execute diagnostic tests
during the next bootup.

The CLI commands for system diagnostic tests are dm diag and dm alt-diag. These diagnostic tests verify all available hardware
components including:

• I2C devices

Brocade ICX 7450 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 75

Part Number: 53-1003899-04
Brocade ICX 7450 Operation
Diagnostic tests and monitoring

• EEPROMS
• CPU packet
• Line rate
During system diagnostic testing, the system is completely under the control of the diagnostic software. All hardware components are
verified, and results are displayed on the console. In cases where a failure is detected, results and corrective actions will be displayed. After
the system diagnostic testing is complete, the system exits from the diagnostic mode and reloads the system for normal operation.

System diagnostic testing runs at link speeds of 10 Gbps or 40 Gbps (for MOD2 QSFP+ data uplink ports) or 40 Gbps (for
MOD3/MOD4 QSFP+ stacking ports) depending on the speed of the link being tested and the type of port.

CAUTION
Do not unscrew and remove the top cover of the Brocade ICX 7450. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Brocade
ICX 7450.

Temperature threshold levels

The fan speed settings are set by the Brocade ICX 7450, and are not configurable.

Hardware maintenance schedule

Brocade ICX 7450 switch hardware components require minimal maintenance. Brocade recommends cleaning the fiber-optic
connectors on a fiber-optic port and the connected fiber cable each time you disconnect the cable.

Replacing a fiber-optic transceiver

You can remove an SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+ transceiver from a slot and replace it with a new one while the Brocade ICX 7450 is powered
on and running.

This section provides information about the following tasks:

• Removing a copper or fiber-optic transceiver

• Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver
• Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors

Removing a fiber-optic transceiver

While removing a fiber-optic transceiver, be sure to wear an ESD wrist strap that is connected to ground.

Brocade ICX 7450 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 77

Part Number: 53-1003899-04
Managing the Brocade ICX 7450
Replacing a fiber-optic transceiver

CAUTION
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.

To remove a fiber-optic transceiver from an SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+ slot, do the following.

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack).

2. Disconnect the fiber cable connector from the port connector.

3. Unlock the fiber-optic transceiver by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front of the slot.

NOTE
On 1000Base-SX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000Base-LX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a
blue sleeve.

NOTE
The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+ transceiver.

4. Grasp the bail latch and pull the fiber-optic transceiver out of the slot.

5. Store the copper or fiber-optic transceiver in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.

6. Install a new fiber-optic transceiver in the slot.

Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver

Use the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver.

1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.

NOTE
Before cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors.
For more information, refer to “Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors” on page 78.

2. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiver connector until the tabs lock
into place.

3. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly.

Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors

To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+) and the fiber cable connectors,
Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the
connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.

To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When not using an SFP, SFP+, or
QSFP+ connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.

Part Number: 53-1003899-04
FRU removal and replacement procedures
The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the Brocade ICX 7450 can be removed and replaced by using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. The
switches can continue operating during the FRU replacement if the conditions specified in these procedures are followed. This covers
both the power supply unit (PSU) FRUs and fan FRUs.

CAUTION
This document describes how to change FRUs for units with either an air intake or air exhaust. You must replace a failed FRU
with a FRU of the same type. This applies to both power supplies and fans. A new FRU must have the same part number
(P/N) as the FRU being replaced. The manufacturing P/N is located on the top of the FRU.

If a mismatched power source or fan tray is installed by mistake, a warning is sent to the console. The warning messages will be similar to
the following:

• For a fan mismatch: [WARNING, Brocade ICX 7450, MISMATCH in Fan Air Flow direction. Replace FRU with fan air flows in
the same direction.
• For a power supply: [WARNING, Brocade ICX 7450, MISMATCH in PSU Air Flow direction. Replace PSU with air flows in the
same direction
You can use external labels as a guide. The power supplies and fan trays are labeled with an airflow symbol on the faceplate to indicate
whether the assembly takes in or exhausts air. The symbol also appears on the top of the FRU. All FRUs in a chassis must have the same
label affixed so that airflow direction is consistent. Figure 1 illustrates examples of the airflow labels.

FIGURE 1 Examples of airflow symbols

The green E symbol indicates an exhaust FRU. This unit pulls air in from the front of the switch and exhausts it out the rear side. This is
called front-to-back airflow or forward airflow.

The orange I symbol indicates an intake FRU. This unit pulls air in from the rear side of the switch and exhausts it out the front side. This is
called back-to-front airflow or reverse airflow.

The show chassis command displays a device’s airflow direction: Front-to-Back or Back-to-Front.

Replacing a power supply unit

CAUTION
Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device. Otherwise, the power supply
or the device could be damaged as a result. (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.)

Managing the Brocade ICX 7450
Replacing a power supply unit

CAUTION
For the Brocade ICX 7450 devices, be sure that the airflow 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.”

NOTE
Maintain all power supply and fan trays in operational condition to provide redundancy.

CAUTION
Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the power supply and fan tray slots empty longer
than two minutes while the switch is operating. If a power supply or fan tray fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced.

CAUTION
Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan tray voids the warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan tray.

MISE EN GARDE Tous les équipements dotés d'un bloc d'alimentation en courant continu (Brocade ICX 7450) sont conçus pour l'installation
dans des zones à accès réglementé uniquement. Une zone à accès réglementé est un local qui n'est accessible que par le
personnel d'entretien à l'aide d'un outil, verrou ou clé conçus à cet effet, ou de tout autre accessoire de sécurité, et qui est
contrôlé par l'autorité responsable de ce local.

PRECAUCIÓN Todos aquellos dispositivos con fuentes de alimentación de CC (Brocade ICX 7450) están diseñados para su instalación en
zonas de acceso restringido solamente. Una zona de acceso restringido es un lugar al que sólo puede acceder personal de
mantenimiento haciendo uso de una herramienta especial, una llave y un candado, o algún otro medio de seguridad, y que está
controlado por la autoridad responsable.

Table 0.1:

CAUTION Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 50° C (122° F).

Table 0.2:

CAUTION Make sure the airflow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.

VORSICHT Stellen Sie sicher, dass an der Vorderseite, den Seiten und an der Rückseite der Luftstrom nicht behindert wird.

MISE EN GARDE Vérifiez que rien ne restreint la circulation d'air devant, derrière et sur les côtés du dispositif et qu'elle peut se faire librement.

PRECAUCIÓN Asegúrese de que el flujo de aire en las inmediaciones de las partes anterior, laterales y posterior del instrumento no esté
restringido.

Table 0.3:

CAUTION Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.

VORSICHT Es empfiehlt sich die Installation eines separaten Stromkreiszweiges für jede Wechselstrom-Elektroschnur als Redundanz im
Fall des Ausfalls eines Stromkreises.

MISE EN GARDE Utilisez un circuit de dérivation différent pour chaque cordon d’alimentation C.A. Ainsi, il y aura un circuit redondant en cas de
panne d’un des circuits.

PRECAUCIÓN Use un circuito derivado separado para cada cordón de alimentación de CA, con lo que se proporcionará redundancia en caso
de que uno de los circuitos falle.

Table 0.4:

CAUTION Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of
overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare
this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power
connectors.

VORSICHT Stromkreise, Verdrahtung und Überlastschutz dürfen nicht durch das Gerät überbelastet werden. Addieren Sie die
Nennstromleistung (in Ampere) aller Geräte, die am selben Stromkreis wie das Gerät installiert sind. Somit können Sie
feststellen, ob die Gefahr einer Überbelastung der Versorgungsstromkreise vorliegt. Vergleichen Sie diese Summe mit der
Nennstromgrenze des Stromkreises. Die Höchstnennströme (in Ampere) stehen normalerweise auf der Geräterückseite neben
den Eingangsstromanschlüssen.
MISE EN GARDE Assurez-vous que le dispositif ne risque pas de surcharger les circuits d'alimentation, le câblage et la protection de surintensité.
Pour déterminer le risque de surcharge des circuits d'alimentation, additionnez l'intensité nominale (ampères) de tous les
dispositifs installés sur le même circuit que le dispositif en question. Comparez alors ce total avec la limite de charge du circuit.
L'intensité nominale maximum en ampères est généralement imprimée sur chaque dispositif près des connecteurs d'entrée
d'alimentation.

PRECAUCIÓN Verifique que el instrumento no sobrecargue los circuitos de corriente, el cableado y la protección para sobrecargas. Para
determinar la posibilidad de sobrecarga en los circuitos de suministros, añada las capacidades nominales de corriente (amp) de
todos los instrumentos instalados en el mismo circuito que el instrumento. Compare esta suma con el límite nominal para el
circuito. Las capacidades nominales de corriente máximas están generalmente impresas en los instrumentos, cerca de los
conectores de corriente de entrada.

CAUTION Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you have already
configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter
the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.

VORSICHT Verwenden Sie den Befehl "erase startup-config” (Löschen Startup-Konfig) nur für neue Systeme. Wenn Sie diesen Befehl in
ein bereits konfiguriertes System eingeben, löscht der Befehl die Konfiguration. Falls Sie aus Versehen die Konfiguration eines
bereits konfigurierten Systems löschen, geben Sie den Befehl “write memory” (Speicher schreiben) ein, um die laufende
Konfiguration in der Startup-Konfig-Datei zu speichern.
MISE EN GARDE N'utilisez la commande erase startup-config que pour les nouveaux systèmes. Si vous entrez cette commande sur un système
que vous avez déjà configuré, elle efface la configuration. Si vous effacez la configuration par accident sur un système
configuré, entrez la commande write memory pour enregistrer la configuration actuelle dans le fichier startup-config.

PRECAUCIÓN Use el comando erase startup-config (borrar configuración de inicio) para sistemas nuevos solamente. Si usted introduce este
comando en un sistema que ya ha configurado, el comando borrará la configuración. Si usted borra accidentalmente la
configuración en un sistema ya configurado, introduzca el comando write memory (escribir memoria) para guardar la
configuración en ejecución en el archivo startup-config.

TABLE 3
