Thanks, that should be fairly easy to find and test with a multimeter.
Could you take a good resolution pic of the main board of the switch? We might be able to give you some more information on where to check for voltages.

The only internal pic I can find is a low resolution 640x480 one.

If you check for voltages after the inductor on the center-left of the pic, do you get anything? That looks to be an insulated main 52 to 12V switcher. Then there are two more converters by the looks of it in the top right part of the board, which could probably be 5/3.3/1.8V supplies. If you get no voltage on any of those rails, also check for shorts (with the switch off) on any of the main mosfets for these rails (soic-8 for the main supply and smaller devices for the others)

I've got my ICX7250-24P I bought off eBay in Europe. I believe someone already did a fan swap to it, as I've found two delta FFB0412VHN spliced onto the original connectors.

I've tried running the quieter fans I've bought (EFB0412VHD-00), but the asic temp gets way too hot. The airflow at "slow" speed / 4.5V feels at least half of what the fast FFB fans do move. This is a show chassis run after 15 mins of power up, with no interfaces up besides one ethernet for management:

Code:
SSH@ICX7250-24P Router>show chassis
The stack unit 1 chassis info:

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

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

Fan controlled temperature:
        Rule 1/2 (MGMT THERMAL PLANE): 85.6 deg-C
        Rule 2/2 (AIR OUTLET NEAR PSU): 39.5 deg-C

Fan speed switching temperature thresholds:
        Rule 1/2 (MGMT THERMAL PLANE):

        Rule 2/2 (AIR OUTLET NEAR PSU):

                Speed 2:        49<----->105 deg-C (shutdown)

        Shutdown level......: 105.0 deg-C
I've tried adding a baffle made of thin cardboard to move more air through the ASIC's heatsink, but it only made the temperatures worse, hitting even 88°C on the main chip.

Moving back to the faster fans, the switch stabilized at 36-38°C on the PSU and 81-82°C on the main chip. Tomorrow I might try also with a 60x60x10 fan as some of you did on the asic. I'll be at best at 40W pulled out of the PoE ports, if I can get a balance between temps and noise it would be great.
I think one of the issues is that those rear fans you put in there are only 10 CFM. That stock ones were around 25, so it's now getting less than half the original air movement.

When I did my mod and used the Mechantronix MR4020X12B1-RSR I think they do well because they're rated at 17.3 CFM. They are a touch louder than the ones you have now, but very reasonable. I also agree the 60mm fan on the ASIC will likely serve you better.

If for some reason you find it still isn't sufficient, one hacky thing you could do is strap a fan externally next to the PSU inlet on the side. I know someone who has it in a closet that did this. It'll provide more airflow explicitly to the PSU (which it seems is actually the first thing to overheat post-mod).

It'll provide more airflow explicitly to the PSU (which it seems is actually the first thing to overheat post-mod).
The main thing with the PSU is that, when running at full power, it's supposed to deliver 370W to the PoE ports plus 50 ish watts to the switch itself. That makes a 400-420W load, that at an efficiency of 85-90% (the psu looks to me to be an active PFC, LLC resonant converter) will push out some 40-60W heat on top of the 50W the switch already dissipates at idle. We're talking above 100W in an 1U form factor with 2 fans, which will require some airflow.

My plan is to run the switch way lower in PoE power, currently I've got three TP-Link omada access points that draw around 5W each, and a couple security cameras / doorbells that do at best 3-4W. If I'm getting to 40W it'll be a lot. I've bought this switch mostly for the 8x10g sfp side and to consolidate 2 switches into a single one.

I like the idea of doing some diy stuff to push air into the side psu port. I've got about 4.5cm space from the switch to the side of the rack cabinet, and the intake vent is 12x3cm. I could easily design and 3d print an adapter to fit two or three small 40x40 fans for some additional airflow.

I have a question regarding the ICX 7750-48F. I currently have two ICX 6610 running as a stack. Due my "need" for additional 40Gbe ports, I am going to break the stack and replace the 6610 in the rack with the 7750.

Today, I was working on getting the 7750 configured correctly and assigning VLANs to ports (mostly to match 6610 so it will be a "drop in" as much as possible). I noticed that on the 6610, when I setup a vlan trunk, it displayed Tag = Yes and Pvid = N/A. However, setting up the same trunk on the 7750 shows Tag = Yes and Pvid = 99 (in my case, my default VLAN).

Does this indicated that the ports on the 7750 (software version 08.0.95nT203) run in hybrid mode by default? That was my original guess, however when I tried to add that port to my management vlan as untagged, it said the port was already a member of that vlan (per the trunk).

Feels like I am doing something wrong here due to the newer software version in the 7750...

Regards,

Clint

I've designed and 3d printed a bracket to add 3x 40x40 fans to the side of an 1U switch. If anyone wants to print one, the stl files are here.

3x40mm_FanMount_1.jpg 3x40mm_FanMount_2.jpg

With the fans running at 5V off an USB port, the additional intake lowered the PSU temperature by 4°C and the SoC temp by about 2-3°C. The switch is inside my rack, with the front door closed, and two 120mm fans blowing out exhaust air up.

Before:
Slot 1 Current Temperature: 72.4 deg-C (Sensor 1), 43.5 deg-C (Sensor 2)
After:
Slot 1 Current Temperature: 69.7 deg-C (Sensor 1), 39.5 deg-C (Sensor 2)

Does anybody know about compatibility issues on PoE devices?

I am using my ICX 7150-C12P powering two devices without issues. When I connect my Snom M900 DECT directly to the switch is does not run. It gets power, it boots, but either the ethernet port on ICX is completely down or no data goes through. When I connect the same device with a separate PoE adapter to the same port at the ICX all is fine. The M900 is 802.af class 2 compatible.

Any possibilities to do do some manual setting on the ICX for the port?

From what I can find on the item's page, it's a 10/100 PoE device, you could try forcing the port to work at 100mbit full duplex mode:

(in config mode)
interface ethe 1/1/x
speed-duplex 100-full
exit

the port will cycle, and it will be forced to the desired negotiation speed.

to undo, set speed-duplex to auto on the port.

with the device attached, can you do a show interface ethe 1/1/x on the port and paste here the results? These are the ones I get on my 7250 with a PoE AP:
It is getting confusing. It looks my issue is a different one.

To generate the status for the interface I switched the ports with having the the M900 connected to the PoE adapter. The first the port was up but no I could not get a connection. Switch ports a second time the port changed to status down.

What I noticed are connection errors in the port status and state blocking:

Code:
Untagged member of L2 VLAN 2, port state is BLOCKING
[...]
42084 input errors, 33974 CRC, 0 frame, 0 ignored
The issue seems not to be related to PoE as assumed before. Something faulty on the ICX or the M900 I believe.

It is not enabled by intention. I already read that LLDP may cause issues on M900.
Here is my config.
Update.

It looks like I am facing 3 different issues.

1) The ICX has no LLDP but my Ruckus Unleashed. My error is reproducable and the behaviour is as desctribed here. Not related to the ICX 7150
M900 and LLDP protocol - Snom Service Hub - Snom Confluence

I once tested with no lldp enable ports ethe 1/1/9, but the link did not came up.
Maybe this is because of (2)?

2) Still the ICX after reboot sometimes doe not get the port up and I need a second boot. When I connect it to an unmanged switch this indicates only a 10 MBit/s link. So far I tested on ICX to set to 100MBit full duplex because the M900 can do acc. technical spec. Maybe broken?

3) The CRC errors seems to come from a shitty cable or it is related to (2).

And... Done!

I've designed and 3d printed a bracket to add 3x 40x40 fans to the side of an 1U switch. If anyone wants to print one, the stl files are here.

View attachment 38966 View attachment 38967

With the fans running at 5V off an USB port, the additional intake lowered the PSU temperature by 4°C and the SoC temp by about 2-3°C. The switch is inside my rack, with the front door closed, and two 120mm fans blowing out exhaust air up.

Before:
Slot 1 Current Temperature: 72.4 deg-C (Sensor 1), 43.5 deg-C (Sensor 2)
After:
Slot 1 Current Temperature: 69.7 deg-C (Sensor 1), 39.5 deg-C (Sensor 2)
That's quite snazzy and I love it. Good job!

M900 and LLDP protocol - Snom Service Hub - Snom Confluence

I once tested with no lldp enable ports ethe 1/1/9, but the link did not came up.
Maybe this is because of (2)?

2) Still the ICX after reboot sometimes doe not get the port up and I need a second boot. When I connect it to an unmanged switch this indicates only a 10 MBit/s link. So far I tested on ICX to set to 100MBit full duplex because the M900 can do acc. technical spec. Maybe broken?

3) The CRC errors seems to come from a shitty cable or it is related to (2).
My issue is "solved", or better to say I found a workaround.

The, in my eyes faulty behaviour of the Snom M900 in combination with LLDP packets, I solved by blocking them on the port of the ICX
Code:
no lldp enable ports ethe 1/1/9
The "incompatibility" between both devices not getting a proper link I solved by setting the port to a fixed copper link of 10 MBit.
Acc. spec, the NIC of the M900 is 10/100 MBit. But I only can get 10 Mbit running.
Code:
link-config gig copper autoneg-control 10m-full ethe 1/1/9

Need some help as I'm stuck and not sure where to go to next.

I have a 6610 that is licensed, has the stack removed per Fodeesha etc. I added a 6650 about a year ago and used a 40GB port to connect to the 6610 and it worked perfectly. No issues at all. I had a reboot a couple of days ago and since then I've been unable to get access to the 6650 over the network. I've re-ran setup and assigned the IP, single VLAN, checked licensing and everything else. Wiped back to the default config and started over. I've found that if I connect a 10gb port on the front to a 10gb port of the 6610 it works. The minute I try to use a 40gb qsfp port in the rear (and remove the 10gb port) it will fail. It won't fail by plugging in a qsfp. On the 6650 it shows the port active and state forwarding but on the 6610 it will show it connected and negotiated at 40gb but under state it will show "blocked". Any idea how to get the 6650 and the 6610 chained together (separate switches not a stack) leveraging the 40gb qsfp connection (1/21 or 1/2/6)? Thanks for any help!

I have a ICX7750 that I've yet to configure. I've updated it to the latest firmware per the fohdeesha docs, but not connected it to any devices yet. If I let it sit turned on, it will periodically reboot (the front display shuts off and then the fans ramp up before they quiet down again), every 10-15 mins or so. I've tried searching to see what the reason for this is but cannot seem to find anything that points to a direct cause. Anyone else experience this with any of their switches?

Is this plugged into a UPS?

The power supplies in these devices are very heavy lifters, they're rated at 1kW output. Also they have to be active PFC due to regulations and such.

as of that, any input waveform that isn't sinusoidal will make the PFC circuit go haywire and possibly trigger very large current spikes on the UPS. It's basically made with a boost converter that charges the "tank" capacitors with an input current that is adjusted to be perfectly sinusoidal. Apply a non-sine input to it and all kinds of mayhem will happen.

I bet your issues are either with a modified sine wave or a square wave ups.

here's a practical recommendation - just plug it into street power and see if it continues the reboot cycle.

Sorry for the late reply, both street power and Eaton 2000VA UPS forces continuous reboot cycles. I have a couple of different UPS' that I will try but never occurred to me that that might be the culprit. (However, I have two different 7450 plugged into the same UPS that does not exhibit the issue)

EDIT : I will try using a different APC SmartUPS and see if that fixes the issue.

Thanks for all the help!
