The Brocade ICX 7750 also supports 40GBASE-SR-BD bi-directional (BiDi) QSFP+ transceivers with duplex LC optics. The 40 GbE
BiDi optics support two 20 GbE channels over duplex fiber cable, with the transmit and receive of each channel operating at two
wavelengths on a single fiber.
1/3/5 and 1/3/6
The 40 GbE BiDi transceivers enable 40 GbE links to be supported on installed 10 GbE duplex fiber infrastructure. This optic has the
same port limitations as the LR4 optic..

QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter support
The Brocade ICX 7750 supports a third-party QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter for cost-effective connections between 40 GbE QSFP+ ports and
10 GbE hardware using standard SFP+ optical cabling rather than breakout cables.
An SFP+ transceiver (SR, LR, or USR) inserted in the QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter behaves as if it is connected to the first of the 4 breakout
ports on the 40 GbE QSFP+ interface with no other ports available in the breakout. The 4x10 GbE breakout mode must be configured on
the QSFP+ interface.

Procedures in this manual are intended for qualified service personnel.
Unpacking the device
The Brocade ICX 7750 ships with all of the items listed in the following list. Verify the contents of your shipping container. If any items are
missing, contact the place of purchase.
The following items are included in your shipping carton:
• A Brocade ICX 7750 switch
• One accessory kit, containing two mounting ears and eight screws
• One console cable (Mini-USB to RJ-45) with RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter
• Two Micro-HDMI to RJ-45 stack control-path cables, currently not used by the switch
• One control-path cable holder kit, containing one cable holder and one screw
• One grounding kit, containing one grounding lug and one grounding screw
• Installed filler panels for the PSU 2 slot, expansion module slot, and fan tray slot 1
Installation and safety considerations
You can install the Brocade ICX 7750 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 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.

Installation and safety considerations
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 7750 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 Brocade ICX 7750-26Q or Brocade ICX 7750-48F switch
is operating, or 40°C (104°F) while the Brocade ICX 7750-48C 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 12.
• 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.
• 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.
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.

NOTE
CAUTION
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:
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.
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.
