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

[wingnut]

Has anyone run an ICX 6610 or similar switch with mixed input voltages? That is, one PSU on ~120V and the other on ~240V?

I'm replacing a pair of 6610-24P's with a -48P as my core switch, and wanted to run on dual power supplies because I have a few UPS units with different runtimes. In the US but have a 240V UPS for some exotic hardware. That UPS is lightly loaded so I was thinking about using it for one of the inputs.

I don't see why this wouldn't work from a pure hardware perspective as the PSUs will take 100-240V and output the same DC voltage regardless, but wondering if the switch will complain or cause some unexpected problem.

Tl;dr:
seen thread,went for medium beef,-48p,loud as F,meh;
one arctic 6k (two other fans unplugged), one 5500rpm cheapo 50x50x10 fan on ASIC (full speed, w/o tach), psu temp sensor pulled obviously;
80degC max with light PoE load (about 30 watts total). Chassis is hot, 10g sfp+ are very hot.
DEAD SILENT.

I hope you're heading into winter, where-ever you are

Nah, it's always summer outside. Added second arctic 6k - 75C max now. Happy.
