Thank you. I ended up getting another PSU from the seller and it worked fine. Can the fan be repaired on a defective PSU?

yeah just open up the PSU and remove the fan, get the part number off of it and buy another one, should be about $10. you'll have to splice the wires as it's not a standard pinout/connector if I remember right
Ugh I hate to ask this question, but.... are there any special commands to enable the sfp+ ports on the front of the ICX 6610-48P? Just got a 6610 off of ebay and I went through the guide and updated the firmware and the Poe Firmware to the latest versions - setup the system just like the guide suggested.
However when I connect any of my dac cables I don't get any link light. They are connected to a Intel dual port sfp+ card. I'm using a cisco DAC cable but I've also tried this DAC cable from AWS ( 10Gtek 10G SFP+ DAC Cable - 10GBASE-CU Passive Direct Attach Copper Twinax SFP Cable for Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU3M, Ubiquiti, D-link, Supermicro, Netgear, Mikrotik, ZTE Devices, 3m, 1pack)
The cisco DAC cable seemed to work with other switches.... I am a newbie when it comes to 10G networking so this could clearly be a problem I've created.
running the show media command
seems to show something is plugged in.
Now running the command
Is this telling me the DAC cables I have are not compatible?

Yes, I think I just came up with that hypothesis.

Thank you for the feedback. Thought I was doing something wrong or I missed something. I know this is an enterprise switch so I shouldn't expect it to be quiet.
you can unplug all but one of the fans internally if you want it quieter (or replace the fans). If I recall correctly the 48 port PoE has THREE fans, intended to cool it if it's putting out hundreds of watts of PoE load, which you won't be doing
You can verify it by forcing the interface (on both ends!!) at 1000-fd, so it shouldn't require any licence...
EDIT: I've verified on the datasheed posted on the first page... yes, 1000-fd is free, 10000-fd requires an extra licence; for the purpose of testing the cables, you can go ahead, albeit at a "mere" 1G.
ok so i am licensed now... and all the licenses now say Status as Active.
The ports on the switch are lit now as well...
however the show media validation still shows the "not supported" at the end of the line
the ubuntu computer (running 20.04 beta... i know iknow) is running a cisco dual VIC card
even when i try to set the interface up it comes back with no carrier
Once again, I'm a newbie at this 10G network stuff, so it's probably the interface between the chair and the keyboard causing the issue.

link/ether 00:22:bd:ea:9a:cc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffI did remove two fans but the management thermal plane reached 80C. The fan threshold was still in speed 1 but I stopped and went back to 3 fans. Maybe it would've stabilized if I gave it a little more time. Only activity was console access to monitor temps. The ambient temp in the room was around 70F. I plan on keeping it in the basement which is cooler but summers are hot and humid and forced to run a dehumidifier so I'm a little worried. I also have a SuperMicro E300-9D-4CN8TP with 3 fans that are louder than I want.
If I replace the fans, is there a particular brand/model everyone is using?
Thank you!
the "not supported" thing just means officially, so support has something to blame if you file an issue under a support contract. These things will link up up with literally anything, I've even stuck in fibrechannel optics and it just clocked them down and ran happily. I suspect you have a configuration issue somewhere. Can you post the output of "show run?"

Maybe i need to change the cisco card ...

Thank you both! I'll see what I can dig up in part numbers and see if I can replace.
Anyone have a dead 6450 that still had working POE? My 48 port 6450P has a burnt POE board and I need a replacement.
Or I'll sell this 48P switch OR trade for a 24P with working POE. I replaced my main switch with a ICX7250-48P but need something with POE for my garage. Thanks!

Do you strictly speaking need the 10G uplink for the garage, or could you get away with gigabit? 6430s are absurdly cheap these days, so that might be a option. I don't know as I'd try getting one for just the PoE board as they likely don't match up right, but if all you need is power and not throughput...
I run the Sunon KDE1204PKV3-MS ones, I have all 3 in there, and I live in Dubai. It survived last summer where the ambient 100+ F room temp was no problem at all for the switch..
Great post! Thanks for sharing. I've been racking my brain over what switch to get for my new homelab and your post really helped.
I meant to pick up an ICX-7250, but in my tiredness I accidentally bought (and paid for) an ICX-7450-48 for $200 shipped... is this going to be a problem for some reason?

it's a nice switch, but compared to the icx7250 you meant to buy it will be louder, draw more power, and currently only has half the 10gbE ports (4). if you want the 8 ports of 10gbe the 7250 has, you'll have to buy another 10gb module Brocade ICX7400-4X10GF ICX 7450 4-port 10-Gigabit SFP SFP+ Module | eBay
