WTB: Brocade ICX 7150 [24/24p/48/48p] switch. 7150-24p preferred

[NickM]

I'm looking to buy a Brocade ICX 7150 24-48 port switch (I'm in USA). Preferably with PoE, but that's not a hard requirement.

I prefer anything from the 7150 line, as it has an OEM setting to operate fanless under moderate load. I might also settle for a 7250-24p or 6450-24p someone has one of those available.

I finally found a 7150-24p on eBay at a decent price and bought it last weekend -- but then the seller came back and said 'oops, we already sold it', and refunded me -- so I'm trying here to beg one off you good folks instead


Also vaguely looking for 10G SFP+ baseT and/or optical transceivers to go with it; I probably need two of each baseT and optical, but figured I should settle on the switch before thinking too hard about transceivers.

Can you point me to any documentation on that OEM setting for fanless operation!?

I'm was thinking specifically about a 7150-24p but will likely just buy new.

Calling it an OEM setting can a bit misleading, it is a setting that is supported on the ICX7150 switches with PoE.
You can find documentation for it in the docs:

The switch will still ramp up fans on boot, but hopefully that does not happen that often

To enable it you type in:
