The Brocade ICX 6650 device features Ports-on-Demand licensing. With Ports-on-Demand
licensing, software features do not require licenses and you can add port licenses as needed.
A fully populated device supports 56 front-panel, dual-speed 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports, 4 rear panel 40
GbE QSFP+ ports, and 2 rear panel 4x10 GbE QSFP+ breakout ports.
You can purchase and install Ports-on-Demand licenses in blocks of eight dual-speed 1/10 GbE
SFP+ front-panel ports. These ports are sequential, enabling ports 33 through 40, 41 through 48,
and 49 through 56. To enable additional front-panel ports requires purchasing and installing an
ICX6650-8P10G-LIC-POD license. When you purchase the license, you specify 8, 16, or 24 port
capacity so you purchase only the number of ports that you need. Figure 3 shows the front-panel
ports.

Installation and safety considerations
You can install the Brocade ICX 6650 in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
• In an EIA cabinet using a fixed-rail rack mount kit. The optional fixed-rail rack mount kit can be
ordered from your switch retailer. Both the 24”-28” rack depth kit and the 28”-32” rack depth
kit will work with the ICX 6650 device.
• In a 2-post Telco rack using a flush mount rack kit. The optional flush mount rack kit for
switches can be ordered from your switch retailer.
• In a 2-post Telco rack using a mid-mount rack kit. The optional mid-mount rack kit for switches
can be ordered from your switch retailer.
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 6650 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.
• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40C (104F) 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. Be
sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
The site should meet the following requirements:
• Maintain the operating environment as specified in the section “Environmental
considerations” on page 45.
• Allow a minimum of 3 in. of space between the front and the back of the device and walls or
other obstructions for proper air flow.
• Allow at least 3 in. of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic,
and power cabling.
• Be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices.

53-1002599-01
Installation and safety considerations
NOTE
2
• Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
• Allow for twisted-pair cable to be always 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 feet) of each device, and is powered from an
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is
recommended.
• 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.
• For a 4-post rail mount configuration, order the appropriate mounting kit and refer to the kit
documentation.
Cabinet considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet, ensure the following cabinet
requirements are met:
• The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
• The equipment in the cabinet 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 multicabinet assembly.
• The additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits or unbalance
the cabinet in any way.
• The cabinet 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 cabinet or patch panels to reduce the potential for tangling the cables. The following
list provides some recommendations for cable management:
You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can
damage the optic 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.
