Brocade FCX Series Hardware Installation Guide - Manual (Page 56)

Brocade FCX 624S, FCX 648S, FCX 624S-F, FCX 624S-HPOE, and FCX 648S-HPOE switches
support an optional two-port 10 Gbps Ethernet XFP module. Brocade recommends that the system is
powered down for installation as the 2x10 XFP module is not hot swapable.

FCX624-E, FCX624-I, FCX648-E, and FCX648-I switches support an optional four-port 1 Gbps SFP
module or four-port 10 Gbps SFP+ module. The 10 Gbps SFP+ module allows you to use your device
in a stack.
CAUTION
On FCX624-E, FCX624-I, FCX648-E, and FCX648-I switches, optional SFP and SFP+ modules
are not hot-swappable. Be sure to power-down your device before you install or replace a
module.
Perform these steps to install an optional module.
1. Remove the blank metal plate (or an installed module) from the slot by removing the two screws
with a Phillips screwdriver.
2. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to the switch casing to
discharge any potential static electricity. It is recommended that you wear an ESD wrist strap
during installation.
3. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.
4. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all the way
into the slot, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.
