60-port SFP+ rackmount switch

The Brocade VDX 6730 switch delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a fixed 60-port SFP+ configuration. It is designed for data-centre networks that require LAN switching and native Fibre Channel integration. The unit suits organisations consolidating Ethernet storage and SAN traffic on a single platform.

Rackmount installation with side exhaust airflow

The switch mounts in a standard rack and uses non-port-side exhaust airflow, so hot air moves away from the cable bundles. Verify that your rack airflow design matches this direction before fitting the unit. Incorrect airflow alignment is the most common cause of thermal issues after installation.

Check SFP+ transceiver compatibility

Confirm that your existing SFP+ modules are supported by the VDX 6730 firmware before ordering. The unit ships with AC power supplies, so ensure your rack PDU provides the correct inlet type and circuit capacity. Fibre Channel over Ethernet and iSCSI configurations also require compatible upstream storage and server adapters.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 60 SFP+ ports are passing 10 GbE traffic after installation?

Verify link LEDs on each SFP+ port show active 10 GbE connections and check the management interface for port status and error counters.

What ships with the Brocade BR-VDX6730-60-F and which items must be purchased separately?

The switch chassis and AC power supply are included; SFP+ transceivers and rack-mount rails are not supplied and must be ordered separately.

Which airflow version should I choose for a cold-aisle intake rack layout?

Select the non-port side exhaust model (BR-VDX6730-60-F) so intake air enters the port side and exhaust leaves the rear, matching cold-aisle intake designs.
