Hardware Maintenance Schedule
The FastIron stackable switch requires minimal maintenance for its hardware components. Foundry recommends

the cable.
Otherwise, you can replace the following hardware components as needed:
• Copper and fiber optic modules (SFPs (mini-GBICs) and XFP transceivers)
• Power supplies
• 10-Gigabit Ethernet module
