[f-nsp] ICX and EPS 4000

[Wilbur Smith]

Although the EPS has firmware, there’s really not much to this box and I’ve never heard of anyone needing to update firmware on it.  Installation is pretty basic: just rack it, connect the cales to the switches correctly, then plug in the power to it: http://www.brocade.com/content/html/en/hardware-installation-guide/fastiron-08040-icx7250-installguide/GUID-87B53BD2-955C-4984-B5E6-B4B91F21C176.html

The switch ICX switches actually manage the EPS through the DC connection cable

You’ll know the EPS is operating correctly based on the LEDs: http://www.brocade.com/content/html/en/hardware-installation-guide/fastiron-08040-icx7250-installguide/GUID-2A1873CD-7603-4868-922B-D7D5140D7DD4.html

Subject: [f-nsp] ICX and EPS 4000


    Anyone has experience with EPS 4000, a DC power solution for the ICX.

A stack of 12 ICX 7250 and 2 EPS 4000, used, appear in our loading bay, now we're looking to make something out of it =D.

    We cannot find any sort of documentation in Brocade, beside basic installation instruction in ICX documentation, nor any sign of firmware release.

    Everything seems to be working but for the EPS not providing DC current and looking to download EPS4000.hex from a TFTP server provided by DHCP.

    Also the EPS4k do not seems to have any firmware loaded beside the basic rommon.
