Starting with Brocade ServerIron ADX release 12.2.1, the label for the Application Switch Module
(ASM) is changed from 'SI-ASM8' to 'SI-ASM'. Note that both represent the same underlying
hardware. The number of available application cores in the ASM module can be verified from the
output of the show version and the show license commands.
ServerIron ADX 4000 systems accommodate up to two ASMs. ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron
ADX 10000 systems accommodate up to four ASMs. Each ASM has the following features:
• Eight Application Cores (the number of application cores avaialable depends on the license

There are two versions of the ASM.
ASM4 – Available only with the ServerIron ADX 4000 bundle, the ASM4 has 4 of the available 8
Application Processors enabled. It will only work in a ServerIron ADX 4000 chassis and only in
a single ASM configuration. If an additional ASM4 module is installed, only the ASM4 module
installed in the ASM 1 slot will be accepted. If an ASM8 module is installed in a system with an
ASM4 module, the ASM4 will be rejected and the ASM8 module will be accepted by the
system. You can purchase an upgrade license to increase the capability of an ASM4 to that of
an ASM8. The ASM4 license is tied to the ASM module and not to the chassis. Consequently, a
license can be purchased to upgrade the ASM4 to use all eight available Application
Processors with all functionality and performance options enabled. With this license installed,
the ASM module functions and is recognized as an ASM8 module
ASM8 – All 8 Application processors are enabled on an ASM8 module. It can be installed in any
ServerIron ADX chassis configuration in any ASM designated slot.
Management Module (MM)

Power supplies
This section describes the supported power supply configurations.
The power supplies are hot swappable, which means they can be removed and replaced while
the ServerIron ADX chassis is powered on and running. However, Brocade recommends that you
disconnect a power supply from its power source before removing and replacing the supply. The

ServerIron ADX 4000, ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron ADX 10000 chassis can be running
while a power supply is removed and replaced, but the power supply itself should not be
connected to a power source.
ServerIron ADX 1000 power supplies
ServerIron ADX 1000 accommodates up to two power supplies (AC or DC) with one required and
one redundant.
You install the power supplies (AC or DC) at the back of the chassis. Each power supply has one
LED on its faceplate to provide status. For more information about operation of the power supply
LED, refer to Table 2 on page 42. For power supply specifications, refer to “Power specifications”
on page 57.
ServerIron ADX chassis device power supplies
ServerIron ADX 4000 accommodates up to two power supplies (AC or DC) with one required and
one redundant.
ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron ADX 10000 accommodate up to four power supplies (AC or
DC) with two required and one or two redundant. Because power is supplied over a common power
bus, any power supply purchased in addition to the two required will provide backup for any supply
that fails. Equipping a ServerIron ADX 8000 or ServerIron ADX 10000 with two additional power
supplies provides full redundancy for both of the required power supplies.
For power supply specifications, refer to “Power specifications” on page 57.
You install the power supplies (AC or DC) in the slots along the bottom of the chassis (ServerIron
ADX 4000 or ServerIron ADX 8000) or along the right side of the chassis (ServerIron ADX 10000).
The installed power supplies provide power to all chassis components, sharing the workload
equally and reporting their status to the Management Module (MM). If the MM detects that one of
these power supplies has failed or overheated, the MM will redistribute the failed power supply
workload to the remaining power supplies.
Each power supply has three LEDs on its faceplate that provide status for the input power, output
power and notification of alarms sent. If the input power and output power LEDs are on (a steady
green), the power supply is providing power to the chassis components. For more information about
operation of the power supply LEDs, see the AC and DC power supply sections in Table 3 on
page 45. The power supplies are hot swappable, which means you can remove and replace them
without powering down the system.
After a power supply is removed from a ServerIron ADX 4000, ServerIron ADX 8000 or ServerIron
ADX 10000 chassis, the software determines if there is enough power to power-on the interface
modules. If it determines that there is not enough power, some interface modules are powered off.
Cooling systems
Upon system startup, the fans in ServerIron ADX run at medium speed, and the speed is changed
to low. The fans switch to high speed only if the temperature sensors detect a need for additional
cooling.
8 Brocade ServerIron ADX Installation Guide
53-1002066-01
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
Cooling systems
By default, ServerIron ADX polls the temperature sensor on each module every 60 seconds to get a
temperature reading. Depending on the temperature readings for the modules, the system can do
the following:
1
• Leave the fan speed as is
• Increase the fan speed
• Decrease the fan speed
• Shut down a module to prevent damage
If the temperature exceeds specified high temperature thresholds, the system generates a syslog
message and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap. The system can also shut a
module down if the temperature exceeds the highest threshold. You can change default low and
high temperature thresholds for modules and fan speeds through software.
ServerIron ADX 1000 cooling system
ServerIron ADX 1000 is equipped with a fan tray containing variable-speed fans and fan controllers.
Figure 11 shows how the fan assembly slides into the back of the chassis.

General precautions
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.
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might
exceed
40 C (104 F).
Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.
Never leave tools inside the chassis.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.

Lifting precautions
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.
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
2
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of
the circuits fails.
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.
High Touch Current: Earth connection essential before connecting supply (ServerIron ADX 4000,
8000, 10000)
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device, depending on the number of AC power
supplies installed in the chassis.

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.)
The power supply is designed exclusively for use with the ServerIron devices. The power supply
produces extensive power. Installing the power supply in a device other than a ServerIron will
cause damage to your equipment.
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.
Power supplies are hot swappable which means they can be removed and replaced while the
ServerIron ADX chassis is powered on and running, 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 removed and replaced, 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.

Preparing the installation site
This section describes how to prepare for installation.
Cabling infrastructure
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed at the site.
For information on cabling, refer to “Installing power supplies” on page 26 and “Attaching a
management station” on page 36.
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 a ServerIron ADX, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment. For cooling purposes, allow a minimum of six inches of space between the sides, front,
and the back of the chassis and walls or other obstructions. If a chassis is installed within a
perforated enclosure, the perforations must have openings of at least 60 percent of the surface.
The ServerIron ADX series are suitable for installation in Network Telecommunications facilities and
locations where the NEC (National Electric Code) apply.
Installing the ServerIron ADX chassis in a rack
This section describes the following tasks:
• “Preparing to mount a ServerIron ADX chassis in a rack”
• “Mounting a ServerIron ADX chassis in a rack”
• “Removing the slot blanks - ServerIron ADX chassis devices”
Preparing to mount a ServerIron ADX chassis in a rack
Due to the weight of a fully loaded chassis device, Brocade recommends mounting a chassis in a
rack before installing additional modules and power supplies.
For each ServerIron ADX chassis that you install in a rack, you must provide four standard #12-24
pan-head screws with which to mount and secure the chassis. Before performing this task, you
should have an assembled rack and a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.

Mounting a ServerIron ADX chassis in a rack
While attaching the chassis to the rack, star washers shall be used to provide better grounding of
the chassis to the rack. Additionally if any single hole grounding lugs are used star washers shall be
used as a means to prevent rotation of the lug.
To mount ServerIron ADX in a rack, follow these steps.
1. Determine the position of each chassis in the rack. For example, a ServerIron ADX 4000,
ServerIron ADX 8000 or ServerIron ADX 10000 chassis with the fewest modules should be on
top, a chassis with more modules than the top chassis in the middle, and a fully populated
chassis on the bottom.
2. Position the four screws for each chassis according to the spacings of the keyhole slots on the
mounting brackets as shown in Figure 14 for the ServerIron ADX 1000 and Figure 15 for the
ServerIron ADX 4000, ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron ADX 10000. Do not secure the
screws completely; leave approximately 1/4 inch of clearance between the back of the screw
head and the rack.
