I have the icx7250-48P running without approved fans!

This is the spoofer that worked for me (the other model I got either didn't work, or was a dud) and the vendor:

The other fan currently connected in the picture is this Noctua - it's running at 100% speed, but is barely louder than my CPU fan while in the same room



I didn't have to re-pin it, just make sure that when the chip is facing away from the white tab, the furthest left pin hole (ground) is sitting on the furthest left pin.


Code:
LAB-TABLE-04-7250#show chassis unit-id 1
The stack unit 1 chassis info:

Power supply 1 (AC - PoE) present, status ok
Power supply 2 not present
Power supply 3 not present

Fan 1 failed
Fan 2 failed
Fan 3 ok, speed (auto): 1<->[[2]]

Fan controlled temperature:
        Rule 1/2 (MGMT THERMAL PLANE): 87.9 deg-C
        Rule 2/2 (AIR OUTLET NEAR PSU): 49.0 deg-C

why not use a fan on fin? what about temp of your 7250-24? mine is 62-67 in summer
Because I don’t have a slim fan. Those two heat pipes pair with 0.1a delta 8020 fan made the temperature 61.7 degree, with a Foxconn 0.16a 8028 fan is 60 degree. Room temperature around 22 degree.

Could someone please tell me, are the fans and power supplies the same for the 6610, 6650, and 7450? I may need to try some mixing and matching.

Thanks!

So, the ICX7450 and ICX6610 fan trays are identical. However for some reason, the ICX6650 fans, albeit in the same formfactor/tray, are different. They look identical but the fans inside the tray are a different model and RPM, and the ICX6610 will not like them. I bought some ICX6650 trays and put them in my ICX6610's, and the status light will light up orange, they will attempt to start spinning, then stall/stop

PSUs are the identical/same model number as the non-poe icx6610 PSUs, RPS15

FYI - Ruckus recently released FastIron 09.0.00a (interestingly, since someone at Ruckus mentioned they would go straight to 09.0.10 or similar). It seems to resolve a lot of the open bugs with 09.0.00 GA. I've updated to it on my 7250-24 (was previously on GA) and haven't had any issues, but I have a pretty basic config.

No, I turned it off shortly after until I can get more of those Noctuas installed and the case put back on it. it was running open with 0 fans on it during that screenshot, so no air being moved over it at all

V9 is released for everything 7 series except the 7750, I would assume because it's the only PPC architecture switch remaining and is about to be eol if it isn't already. I'm sure they were tired of having to maintain both an arm build chain for everything and then a totally separate PPC chain just for the 7750

I have 1x 6650, 2x 6610, and 2x 6450. Can these all be stacked together to operate a basically one single entity? The op’s post from page 1 says the 6650 can’t be stacked but I read that all units within the same family can be so I’m a little confused.

also how do I know when units are properly stacked? Initially I had just the two ICX 6610 and I connected the top 40Gb stacking port of oneto the bottom of the other and everything just “worked” but how do I know for sure these are “stacked” vs just two switches connected to each other? Both can still be ssh’d to independently by the different ip’s I set them up with initially and the documention said something like there wasn’t any special commands to run for stacking them.

Anyway just looking for some clarity on this and any other advice if it’s possible to stack all 5 and if not any do’s/don’ts when connecting them all together.

thanks in advance!

By same family we mean the sub-models of a given type. So any 6450 can stack with any other 6450, but not a 6610. So you can stack your 6450s together and your 6610s as a separate stack. The 6650 will be forever alone.

Does anyone have a link to the correct console cable to use for the 6610 and 6650 series?

There was a link earlier in this thread to ebay but its no longer working.

Well that puts a damper on my desire to hunt down a 7750, assuming I still have my 7150s and 7450 when v9 becomes recommended GA. I was thinking of a 7750-26Q (or a -48F since is has 6x QSFP, but the additional 6x QSFP module tends to be like $500), so would a Arista DCS-7050QX-32S be a better choice? I can certainly find them for a lower price than the handful of 7750-26Q's I see on eBay. I'm going to need at least 6, maybe 8x 40G and 40G to 4x10G breakout support since I'll have more 10G devices than my 7450 will. The 7650 and 7850, when they've been available, have been waaaay out of my price range.
