Two things will also change due to hardware differences:

* The SFP+ activity/status LEDs stop doing anything. The copper ports and chassis LEDs continue to work as normal. The Quanta uses a CPLD to multiplex the LED signals, while the brocade uses native CPU I/O. There's no way around this difference.

* The Brocade only has one Out Of Band management port. Your #2 OOB port will no longer do anything. You'll still have OOB management as usual on mgmt #1, and of course in-band management on all the normal ports.

This guide assumes you're familiar with the basics like tftp, obtaining a serial console to the device, etc. If you're not, this guide is probably not for you. Before touching your switch, read this document from beginning to end to get a basic idea of what you'll be doing - do **not** skip this step.

The risk of doing this is low and mitigated if you're properly prepared and follow closely. It's a good idea to have the switch on a UPS while you do this, if you lose power after the ```erase``` command before you've flashed the new bootloader, your device will be bricked (however it can be recovered with a PowerPC capable JTAG unit).

Start a tftp server and make sure both ```brocadeboot.bin``` and ```brocadeimage.bin``` are being served by it. They can be found in the ```Main Flash``` folder.

Connect to the serial console port on the switch and open a terminal window (9600 8N1). Also be sure to connect the #1 management port on the switch to a network that has layer 2 access to your tftp server, so it can succesfully retrieve them while in u-boot.

In the Brocade software, over serial or telnet, you need to use shift+backspace to backspace. You can remedy this by changing your Putty/terminal settings to "Control+H" for backspace method under Terminal>Keyboard and backspace won't require shift. Once you get it up and running, you can also configure SSH which uses normal backspaces.
