Thanks to you I have so much brocade equipment I now only buy Licenses if they have switches attached...Anyone need licenses I only have 1.9660494e+39 left

Thanks, I tried that though I'm not sure if the answer is useful:there's a hidden debug command to get raw fan RPM, but I can't remember if it works on the 6450:
dm fan-speed
SSH@ICX6450-24P-Router#dm fan-speed
All fans in Low speed (0x83)
You can also buy Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX fans, i have modded 3 6450-24p with these without any issue, one switch is pulling 60W of power over PoE and the fan speed stays at 1. I have one switch running next to me, its dead quiet.I might, I haven't gotten that far with mine yet.
I did find and order a suitable set of fans.. These are 7.7CFM @ 21DB, have the RD output and best of all available from a reputable seller.

I thought I read here that the Noctuas wouldn't start at the lowest fan level 4.5v?You can also buy Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX fans, i have modded 3 6450-24p with these without any issue, one switch is pulling 60W of power over PoE and the fan speed stays at 1.

These switches (and for what matters, almost all the "enterprise-y" equipment that I've used/seen/dealt with) boot with the fans at full blast, and throttle them down when the OS takes full control, so no problem if the fans cannot start at 4V or so - they do need of course to be able to maintain the rotation at low voltage, not to overcome the initial inertiaI thought I read here that the Noctuas wouldn't start at the lowest fan level 4.5v?
I was also under the impression that it needed the locked rotor detection.
ok yeah I thought I vaguely remembered the output being weird on the 6450, on the 6610 it's just RPM:Thanks, I tried that though I'm not sure if the answer is useful:
Not sure if 0x83 is the sensed RPM, the output PWM, or something else. Will be interesting to check it if/when it revs up to speed 2.Code:SSH@ICX6450-24P-Router#dm fan-speed All fans in Low speed (0x83)
telnet@ICX1(config-if-e1000-1/1/20)#dm fan-speed
FRU 1 Fan 1 Speed at 8490 RPM.
FRU 1 Fan 2 Speed at 8766 RPM.
It could be 0-255, that might make sense.Was thinking maybe a scale from 0-100% PWM but clearly not
The painter's tape experiment has concluded:It could be 0-255, that might make sense.
I could go stick a piece of painter's tape over the fan outlets, let the unit warm up a bit, and see if the values change.
SSH@ICX6450-24P-Router#dm fan-speed
All fans in High speed (0xff)
I would not recommend the Noctua's... I made the mistake of buying Noctua's 40mm's and that turned out to be a bad idea. They just don't produce enough cfm to be able to cool anything. They are great fans but probably the wrong use case.You can also buy Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX fans, i have modded 3 6450-24p with these without any issue, one switch is pulling 60W of power over PoE and the fan speed stays at 1.

I have a ICX7450 coming and I have a ton of 40mm fans... Onus to me trying to make everything silent on a new build of mine. I'll probably try them out if the ICX7450 is too noisy. I do need to check the PSU to make sure they can handle the fans though in terms of power consumption.Oh, and even these "quiet" Sunons can be heard across the room when they're running wide open.

A long time ago I replaced the fans of an Extreme switch with these Noctuas. Fast forward maybe 2-3 years later, the switch starting failing due to bulging caps. I'm not sure if it was due to decreased airflow or what but I'm not as gung-ho in replacing fans anymore. In that same environment, I ran a Nortel 5520 without any issues on the stock fans. Louder for sure but ambient is in the upper 80s-low 90s during the summer. I'm probably not going to deploy the ICX6610 or EX4200 anytime soon since the S2500 works just as well for my current needs and the S2500 is noticeably quieter than the 5520..... I ordered 2x Noctua A4x20-FLX.....
Picked up a ICX-6450 unit on eBay. Do I have a defective unit with PoE problem?

"PD Detection Fault" should appear when you've enabled PoE output on the port, but there's a non-PoE device attached; my 6450 says this, at least...Picked up a ICX-6450 unit on eBay. Do I have a defective unit with PoE problem?

I followed your update guides updating firmware and PoE. What commands do I execute to empty config? How do I do a factory reset? I browsed through the manuals and can't find this information.follow the update guide to update all the firmware (including PoE), and wipe the previous config, and that should go away. The previous owner tried to turn on 30W of PoE power on all 48 ports, and it's saying it's not possible to do that
edit: just noticed you also saw "PD Detection Fault" - it depends, but that could just be because of the previous config. if it still says that with an empty config after updating then yeah it's bad
