Will the ICX6610 PoE model run on the lower spec 250W PSUs? I don't need anything even close to 1kW, I'm drawing something like 15W from my 6450 right now. If possible I'm thinking of picking up a couple of RPS15-E (250W) so I'll have two racked and the fans will spin down. A 250W supply would put me at a more efficient PSU load compared to the 1kW as well. Thoughts?
it's dead. I'd say replace the RAM in any other case but given it seemingly took an indirect strike of some kind (through mains) I seriously doubt that'll fix itSo my icx is pulling this error on start up not sure if anyone had this issue before or how to fix it. I hit b but cant stop the boot loader with B it just reenters back into it.

Sounds like it'll be good enough for me out of the box. Thanks! Looking forward to playing with the SDN features when it arrivesit'll run with the non-PoE supplies, it'll just disable poe (obviously) but you're not going to save any power draw or gain efficiency. the PoE supplies are two seperate DC supplies, the 12v supply that powers the actual switch is the exact same 250w capacity as the non-PoE models. There's a second DC supply around ~54v with a capacity of 750w that is strictly for the PoE daughterboard, it's not going to cause any extra power draw with no PoE devices in use. and even if you do enable a few PoE devices, you're looking at an extra draw of maybe 2 watts per PoE device, so even if the 54v DC rail is doing 50% efficiency because the draw is so far away from it's rated load, you're still barely looking at 2 extra watts of losses
it runs the main fastiron app in a VM for isolation/security purposes, you can switch it off and have it run "native" with a bootloader arg for debugging purposes, but shouldn't be ran in production like that. If you got a switch that says "HV disabled" during boot, you need to turn it back on. I've gotten a couple ICX7750s like that, pretty sure they came from the old brocade offices directly (they had the same QR sticker as the others I've gotten from there)Hey @fohdeesha any idea why the 7xxx series has the option to run a hypervisor? Curious how they are using it.
Are the runs short? If so you can use NetApp QSFP SAS DACs, they're stupid cheap.Any solid QFP modules I can use for this switch?
Less than 3ft for 2 of the runs and then 15' for one run. Nothing over that though.Are the runs short? If so you can use NetApp QSFP SAS DACs, they're stupid cheap.
They won't do 56Gb if you're using Infiniband or Mellanox proprietary Ethernet, but they'll happily do 40Gb on the 66xx series.
Yes. I only purchased the the short cables (stacking) and the 15' (5m) cables (servers). They work great. specifically X6559-R6, thick cables so not very flexible. About $8.00 - how much ever you want to pay.Less than 3ft for 2 of the runs and then 15' for one run. Nothing over that though.
Those modules still applicable? Not too worried about 56GBe, 40GB is just fine for me so reflashing the cards to generic Mellanox versions is just fine.

Resetting module in slot 1 again to recover from dev fault
What seller did you get your 6650 from? I bought 5 off ebay, 2 of the 5 came damaged and had broken ports.Ok after minutes of deliberation I went ahead and bought the following to complete my 40GBE network:
QTY 1: Brocade ICX6650 - $250
QTY 3: HP 659281-B21 10/40GB Adapter - $30/card
QT3: NatAPP SAS QSFP/QSFP Cables - $10/card
So for under $400 I will soon have a 40GB network ready to roll
Now I need some quality 1/10GBE gbics and I can get rid of my other switch.
PS. I love and hate you all....
