    New Post scroll position lost

    When I look at the new post list, I click a post, then go back to the list. The list will scroll back to the top instead of stay at the position of last post. Is there anyway to remember the scroll position of the last post I just viewed?

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Agree with you on the airflow engineering part. It is definitely very sophisticated. But it is designed for data center. Noise is not an issue, density matters.

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Already put the switch on my rack. Will see if I can take it out and take some more close up picture. Here is some picture I took before I put it on rack. My switch is ICX7240-48, NON-POE version, so there is some space between the main chip heat sink and the top shelf. I measured about 15MM...

    Looking for a cheap & quiet PoE+4x10GbE switch

    I am using the Aruba S2500-48P. You can take the top off and use 120MM fan to cool the device. It is much better cooling than the original fan and much quieter. You can see the change I made here You could also cut holes on the top to install the 4 120MM fan. it is more secure installation...

    I just received the ICX7250-48 switch. I just realized I need a console cable to make any changes mentioned in this thread. The one @fohdeesha posted sometime ago is already expired. @fohdeesha Do you have any console cable you can recommend on eBay or amazon? Thanks!
