@CorvetteGS: do you have any firewall enabled on the PC acting as a TFTP server? It might be blocking the data stream...
No, and as I said, I just updated the bootrom and primary images from the exact same TFTP server seconds before the PoE step.@CorvetteGS: do you have any firewall enabled on the PC acting as a TFTP server? It might be blocking the data stream...
Yep I've read it, but I've asked because if it was active it might be acting differently as each new connection uses a different host port...No, and as I said, I just updated the bootrom and primary images from the exact same TFTP server seconds before the PoE step.

I use Noctua fans, they work great for me and are silent.3. Are there any fans that work and are quieter?

cool :-D - will this also work on the 6450 ?I found something that will enable you to easily swap the fans out with much quieter models on the icx6610.
It would also be nice if there is a way to make the existing ones spin slower or modify them in some way.So sifting through the fastiron binary in ghidra again, I found something that will enable you to easily swap the fans out with much quieter models on the icx6610.
As you might see in the output you provided, the system has selected fan speed 1 (as it's enclosed in brackets and the temperature is a mere 40°C), but if you can't hear any difference in noise levels at boot, just after the connected port starts to light up, you've definitely got a bad board/PWM circuitWhat I would like to ask
1. Is there a way to see if this is related to a bad PWM board?
2. Is there a command to change the speed to 2? If yes I would know that the speed control works, and that the fan noise is as expected.
3. Are there any fans that work and are quieter?
Below is the output from show chassis

6450 will work happily even with the fans unplugged. It will complain at the console and on the SNMP monitoring information that the fans have failed, but it won't lock or reboot (at least, not until it's frying-hot, but given how little power these switches consumes, it must be buried deep under cables or closed inside a piece of furniture to become even barely hot).cool :-D - will this also work on the 6450 ?
You are the Brocade god, if you found a way to get that nice piece of hardware more quite without frying the ASICSo sifting through the fastiron binary in ghidra again, I found something that will enable you to easily swap the fans out with much quieter models on the icx6610. I know I've said previously several times it's not possible, but the old me is a stupid idiot. The new me is a big brain genius. More to follow tonight
Way to go! This will make for an awesome stay at home project!So sifting through the fastiron binary in ghidra again, I found something that will enable you to easily swap the fans out with much quieter models on the icx6610.

Well played. Well played. I must have checked 10x when you would have a new post tonight.ok, here's how to enable icx6610 fan swaps. Connected over serial, enter the OS console using the key command (ctrl + y, let go, press m). Once in console run the following commands:
