Core Switch Chassis for Campus and Data Centre

The Brocade FastIron SuperX is an 8-slot managed switch chassis built for campus and data centre Ethernet/IP services. It runs Layer 3 routing and includes redundant management modules, load-sharing fabrics, fans and power supplies for continuous operation.

6U Rack-Mount Frame with Redundant Modules

The 6U rack-mountable enclosure measures 10.4 inches high, 17.5 inches wide and 17.3 inches deep. Redundant management, fabric, fan and power supply modules fit inside the chassis, allowing hot-swap replacement without removing the unit from the rack.

Replaces Fixed-Configuration Edge Switches

Organisations consolidating multiple fixed-configuration edge switches into a single resilient core will benefit from the shared operating system and common interface and power supply modules. It is not suited for sites that need only a handful of ports or lack 6U rack space.

Questions about this item

What management redundancy does the FastIron SuperX chassis provide?

The chassis includes redundant management modules so a single module failure does not interrupt switch control.

What rack space and dimensions must be available to mount this 6U chassis?

It occupies 6U of rack height and measures 10.4 inches high, 17.5 inches wide and 17.3 inches deep.

How are line cards and fabric modules installed, and what step is often missed?

Modules slide into the eight front-access expansion slots and must be fully seated until the ejector levers latch; the common error is leaving a module partially inserted so the backplane connection is not made.
