NOTE
The 0 ° to 40 ° C (32 ° to 104 ° F) range applies to the ambient air temperature at the air intake vents on the port side
of the Brocade VDX 8770-8.
The temperature inside the Brocade VDX 8770-8 can be up to 90° C (194 ° F) for some modules during operation.
Cooling policy is based on a combination of ambient temperature and measured temperature on the modules.
Various combinations will result in an increase in fan speed to create more cooling in the switch.
If a component approaches a critical temperature that will trigger a module shutdown, there will be a WARNING
message in the raslog, followed by a CRITICAL message saying that the module will shut down in two minutes.
Use the show environment command to view temperature status.
Chassis slots
Switch slots are coded and numbered to differentiate between management module slots, switch fabric module
slots, and line card slots. Management modules (MM) must be installed only in slots M1 and M2. Switch fabric
modules (SFM) must be installed only in slots S1 through S6. There must be at least one SFM installed in either slot
S3 or slot S4. The line card slots, L1 through L8, can be filled with either 48x1G, 48x10G, or 12x40G line cards.
Unused slots must be filled with the correct filler panels to maintain adequate cooling.
