About This Guide
Introduction
Network planners today have to expand and extend the range of services offered further into the edge of the
network. This requires extending the intelligence and high-touch processing capabilities to the network edge—
whether in a metro network, a campus network or in a data center. The challenge at the edge of the network is
compounded by the need to flexibly define and easily manage customer services in an intuitive manner. Further,
of many rollouts. Whether deployed from a central office or from remote huts, space is an important constraint for
such providers.
In order to meet these challenges, the NetIron Carrier Ethernet Switch (CES) 2000 Series was purpose-built to
offer flexible, secure and advanced processing capabilities in a compact form factor. The NetIron CES 2000 Series
is a compact 1 RU, multi-service edge/aggregation switch with a powerful set of capabilities chosen to combine
performance with rich functionality at the edge of the network. The NetIron CES 2000 Series switches offer
network planners a rich set of high-performance IPv4, Classic Layer 2, Provider Bridge (PB) and Provider
Backbone Bridge (PBB) functionalities in the same device. With these capabilities, a diverse set of applications
ranging from metro edge networks, ISPs, data centers, large enterprises, government networks, and education/
research can be addressed with the NetIron CES 2000 Series.
There are six flavors to the NetIron Carrier Ethernet Switch (CES) 2000 Series:

NetIron CES 2000 Series Network Interfaces
This section describes the port types in the NetIron CES 2000 Series.
10/100/1000 Mbps Ports
The 100/1000 ports on the NetIron CES 2000 Series use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the
speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other
end of the link and adjust port speed accordingly.
Combination Ports
On devices with combo ports, one port out of each pair of copper and fiber ports can be active at a time. Combo
ports are numbered 1-4. For example, you can use either copper port 2 or fiber port 2, but not both at the same
time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports or all copper or all fiber ports, as needed.
If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connectors take precedence
over the copper connectors. These ports support true media automatic detection, meaning the device selects the

fiber or copper connector based on link availability. If a fiber link cannot be established, the device selects the
copper media.
10-Gbps Ports
The NetIron CES 2048CX and the NetIron CES 2048FX comes with 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports installed. A 24 port
NetIron CES has a slot to accommodate a 10-Gigabit Ethernet module. If your device does not include a 10-GbE
module, you can optionally install one. See “Installing or Replacing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Module” on page 6-5.
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports use 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant transceivers.

6 Cooling Fans
Cooling System and Fans
This section describes the fans in the NetIron CES 2000 Series device with 6 fans.
NetIron CES 2000 Series Fans
The NetIron CES 2000 Series device cooling fans use pull configuration to move the air from the front to the back
of the device.
The fans in the NetIron CES Series switches include six four-speed fans that operate at low speed, medium
speed, medium-high speed, and high speed based on the ambient temperature and configured or default
temperature thresholds. All fans operate simultaneously at the same speed. If one fan fails, it does not affect the
operation of the other fan.
The system uses a default or configured temperature threshold associated with it to determine at which speed the
fan should operate. If desired, you can change the settings of the temperature thresholds associated with fan
speed switches.

Installation Precautions
Follow these precautions when installing the unit.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Replace the battery only with the same
or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Lithium battery is a long life battery and it is very possible
that you will never need to replace it. However, should you need to replace it, do not dispose of the battery along
with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit
site.
WARNING: All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
CAUTION: Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed
40ο C (104ο F).
CAUTION: Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.
CAUTION: Never leave tools inside the chassis.
Installation
Lifting Precautions
WARNING: Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.
WARNING: Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the
bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.
Power Precautions
CAUTION: Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the
circuits fails.
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.
CAUTION: Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside down,
although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down.
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.)
CAUTION: The power supply is designed exclusively for use with the NetIron CES and CER 2000 Series
devices. The power supply produces extensive power. Installing the power supply in a device other than the
NetIron CES and CER 2000 Series devices will cause extensive damage to your equipment.
March 2009 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 3 - 3
Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the NetIron CES 2000 Series
WARNING: Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
WARNING: Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device depending on the number of AC power supplies
installed in the chassis. The minimum current draw for the system is one AC power supply.
WARNING: Power supplies are hot swappable. However, Brocade recommends that you disconnect the power
supply from AC power before installing or removing the supply. 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. Otherwise, you
could be injured or the power supply or other parts of the device could be damaged.
WARNING: Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied
with the device to connect it to the power source.
WARNING: If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure
you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your
country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
CAUTION: All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted access areas only. A
restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a special tool,
lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
CAUTION: For the DC input circuit (DC power supply part number RPS9-DC), make sure there is a Listed 20
amp circuit breaker, minimum 48Vdc, double pole, on the input to the power supply. The input wiring for connection to the product should be Listed copper wire, 12 AWG, marked VW-1, and rated minimum 90 C.
CAUTION: For a DC system (DC power supply part number RPS9-DC), use a grounding wire of at least 6
American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 6 AWG wire should be attached to an agency-approved crimp connector,
crimped with the proper tool.
Preparing the Installation Site
Cabling Infrastructure
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed in the site. See “Hardware Specifications” on page C-1 or
www.foundrynetworks.com for a summary of supported cabling types and their specifications.
WARNING: The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building
or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be
metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Installation Location
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Allow at least
3" of space at the front of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling. Also, allow a minimum of
3" of space between the sides and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions.
The NetIron CES 2000 is suitable for installation in Network Telecommunications facilities and locations where the
NEC (National Electric Code) apply.
