Rack relocation (19 rack)
CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves
rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you
relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:
v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at
the top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is
not known, you must do the following:
Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack
cabinet.
Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the
rack cabinet below the 32U level.
If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets,
detach the rack cabinet from the suite.
Inspect the route that you plan to take when moving the rack to
eliminate potential hazards.
Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the
loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that came with your
rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2030 mm (30 x 80 in.).
Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet
during movement.
Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:
- Lower the four leveling pads.
- Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
- If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack
cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.
If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack
cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the
leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack
cabinet to the pallet.

xxii SAN24B-4 Installation, Service, and Users Guide
Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN24B-4 switch
The IBM System Storage SAN24B-4 is a cost-effective and highly-scalable 1, 2, 4,
or 8 Gbit/sec switch, designed for small to mid-sized businesses. It runs on the
Fabric Operating System (Fabric OS) and is compatible with other IBM switches,
which enables seamless connectivity into heterogeneous SAN environments. This
switch is a dual purpose device that you can use either as a full-functioned switch
or as an N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) access gateway. When functioning as an
access gateway, the it provides a single platform for all SAN connectivity. Because
the switch is scalable, you can use it as a foundation switch for a small storage
area network (SAN) and continue to use it as a building block as the SAN grows.
This chapter provides the following information:

Nonport side of the switch
The nonport side of the switch is used solely for air flow. There are no features on
this side.
Supported fabric configurations
The switch is supported as an edge device in fabrics of up to 239 switches.
Additional port activation
The switch can be purchased with 8, 16, or 24 licensed ports. As your needs
increase, you can activate unlicensed ports by purchasing and installing the
additional 8 port activation feature. After it has been installed, the license appears
under the licenseShow command as Ports on Demand license.
The additional ports are ready to be unlocked in the switch firmware. The license
might be part of the licensed paper pack supplied with switch software, or you can
purchase the license separately from IBM, who will provide you with a key to unlock
it.
By default, ports 0 through 7 are enabled on the switch. To enable ports 8 through
16, install a Ports on Demand license key. To enable ports 16 through 24, install
another Ports on Demand license.
After you have installed the license keys, you must enable the ports. You can do so
without disrupting switch operation by using the portEnable command on each port
individually. Alternatively, you can disable and reenable the switch to activate all
ports simultaneously.
To install the additional port activation license, you can either use the supplied
license key or generate a license key. Typically the switch is shipped with a paper
pack that specifies the transaction key to use with the Software License Keys link.
Use this transaction key at the following Web site: http://www.ibm.com/servers/
storage/support/san.
1. On that page, from the Product list, select your product.
2. Select Download from the Support & downloads section.
3. From the page that is generated, select License request in the Tool/utility
section.
4. Follow the instructions on that page to generate the key. You can also use this
site to generate other license keys for your switch.
ISL Trunking groups
The switch supports Interswitch Link (ISL) Trunking as a licensed feature. When this
feature is enabled, create Trunked groups of up to 8 contiguous ports. This means
that you can create up to three trunked groups that contain 8 ports each. The Fibre
Channel ports on the switch are numbered from left to right and color-coded within
groups of eight to indicate which ports you can combine into trunked groups.

Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN24B-4 switch 3
v ATrunk Group 1: ports 0 through 7
v BTrunk Group 2: ports 8 through 15
v CTrunk Group 3: ports 16 through 23
Note: ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking groups of
ISLs between adjacent switches. For more information about trunking, refer
to the Fabric OS Administrators Guide.
Supported optional features
The switch supports the following optional software, which you can activate by
purchasing the corresponding license key:
v Extended Fabricallows implementation of long distance dynamic (LD) and long
distance static (LS) distance levels. This feature extends SAN fabrics beyond the
Fibre Channel standard 10 km by optimizing the internal switch buffers to
maintain performance on ISLs at distances up to 500 kilometers.
v Fabric Watchmonitors mission-critical switch operations. This feature is
designed to enable real-time proactive awareness of the health, performance,
and security of each switch. It automatically alerts network managers to problems
and helps avoid costly failures by providing:
Real-time tracking of numerous fabric and switch elements
Automatic event notifications when switch and fabric elements exceed
thresholds
Security, availability, and congestion monitoring thresholds and alerts
v Adaptive Networking provides a set of capability allowing high priority
connections to obtain the bandwidth necessary for optimum performance, even in
congested environments.
v Advanced Performance Monitorprovides Performance Monitoring capability to
help identify end-to-end bandwidth usage by host/target pairs and is designed to
provide information for capacity planning.
v Trunking Activationdesigned to enable Fibre Channel packets to be efficiently
distributed across multiple Inter-Switch connections (links) between two SAN
b-type fabric switches, while preserving in-order delivery. ISL Trunking is
supported between any of the supported 2, 4, or 8 Gbps b-type models. Both
SAN b-type fabric switches must have ISL Trunking activated.
In addition, customers can order a set of optional features bundled into one
orderable feature, the B24 Enterprise Package. This bundled feature consists of
one of each of Fabric Watch, Trunking Activation, Advanced Performance Monitor,
Adaptive Networking, and two 8-Port Activations.
For more information on the use of these features, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrators Guide.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the switch
You can install the switch in either of two ways:
v As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface
v In an Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet using a slide-rail rack mount
kit, which is provided with the switch. When you mount the switch into a slide-rail
rack, you can mount the chassis to slide from either the port side or the non-port
side.
The SAN24B-4 can be configured and operated as either a SAN fabric switch or as
an Access Gateway. The configuration instructions in this publication are for the
SAN24B-4 to operate as a switch. The installation instructions in this document
apply to both Switch and Access Gateway modes. To configure and operate the
SAN24B-4 in Access Gateway mode, refer to the IBM System Storage SAN24B-4
Access Gateway Quick Start Guide and the Access Gateway Administrator's Guide.
Attention: When you enable Access Gateway mode, you disable the ability for
the SAN24B-4 to operate as a switch. Access Gateway mode and switch mode are
mutually exclusive. If you want to use the SAN24B-4 as a switch at a later time, you
will need to disable Access Gateway mode and enable switch mode. Changing
between Access Gateway and Switch modes is a data disruptive operation. It is
strongly recommended that you disable the switch from the command line interface
before enabling or disabling Access Gateway mode.

Installation and safety considerations
Use this section to prepare your site for a safe and successful installation.
Attention: Although the switch has been designed for customer installation and
replacement procedures, you must first ensure that the rack into which the switch is
to be installed is also customer accessible. If it is not, then only trained personnel
can install and service these switches in such a rack.

Attention: Read the Safety and environmental notices on page ix
before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures.

The switch can be installed either as a free-standing unit, or installed in an EIA
cabinet, using an optional slide-rail rack mount kit. When mounting into a slide-rail
rack, you can mount the chassis to slide from either the port side or the nonport
side.
Electrical considerations
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure the following:
v The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded
in accordance with local electrical codes.
v The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the
electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
v The power supply standards provided in Power supply specifications on page
34 are met.
Environment considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following
environmental requirements are met:
v At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the switch with the
nonport side, which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle.
v All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intaking
exhaust air.
v A minimum of 680 l/min (24 cubic ft/min) of air flow is available to the air intake
vents on the nonport side of the switch.
v The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40 C (104 F) while the switch is
operating.
Cabinet considerations
Attention: See Rack safety on page xiv for danger and caution notices related
to product installations in racks or cabinets.
For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet, ensure that the
following cabinet requirements are met:
v The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
v Plan a cabinet space that is 1 rack unit 4.45 cm (1.75 in.) high, 48.3 cm (19 in)
wide.

v Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection
and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a
branch circuit, such as a power strip.
v Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis,
particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly.
v Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinets
weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way.
v Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as
an earthquake.
Installing a stand-alone switch
To install the switch as a stand-alone unit, use the following procedure:
1. Unpack the switch and verify the items listed in Items included with the switch
on page 5
2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet onto the switch helps
prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting surface.
a. Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the switch to ensure
that they are free of dust or other debris that might lessen the adhesion of
the feet.
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each
indentation and press into place.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4. Provide power to the switch as described in Powering the switch on and off on
page 19.
Attention: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is
correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see Configuring the
switch on page 14.
Installing the switch into an EIA cabinet
Attention: Although the switch has been designed for customer installation and
replacement procedures, you must first ensure that the rack into which the switch is
to be installed is also customer accessible. If it is not, then only trained personnel
can install and service these switches in such a rack.

Attention: Read the Safety and environmental notices on page ix
before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures.

Attention: Refer to Rack safety on page xiv for danger and caution notices
related to rack and cabinet installations.
You can install the rack mount kit in either of two ways:
v To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the
cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the
cabinet.
v To allow the non-port side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the
cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 7.62 cm (3 in.) back
from the edge of the cabinet, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic
cables.

DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place
hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices
that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer
to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to
prevent an electrical shock. (D004)

Note: Do not connect the switch to the network until you perform one of the
following steps:
v Set the internet protocol (IP) address.
v Verify that the default IP address does not conflict with the existing IP
addresses in the same network.
Recommendations for cable management
Attention: The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 51 mm (2 in.) under
full tensile load and 30.5 mm (1.2 in.) with no tensile load.
SJ000049

Figure 7. Inserting slides into the rack rails

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways: for example, using
cable channels on the sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable
management. Following is a list of recommendations:
v Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.
v Leave at least 1 meter (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room
to remove and replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack,
and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend
radius.
v If you are using Brocade ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking
groups. The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements, as
described in the Fabric OS Administrators Guide.
v For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to
which they are connected.
v Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
v Use hook-and-loop fasteners to secure and organize fibre optic cables. Do not
use tie wraps on fiber optic cables, because wraps are easily overtightened and
can damage the optic fibers.
Configuring the switch
You must configure the switch to ensure correct operation within a network and
fabric. For instructions about how to configure the switch to operate in a fabric that
contains switches from other vendors, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
For more information about the commands used in this procedure, refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.
v Using the EZSwitch setup (optional)
v Providing power to the switch
v Creating a serial connection on page 15
v Setting the switch IP address on page 15
v Setting the date and time on page 16
Using the EZSwitch setup (optional)
Once you have set up the switch in a rack or as a stand-alone switch, it is time to
give it power and a basic configuration. If you are going to use the switch in a
single-switch setup, you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the basic
configuration. See the EZSwitchSetup CD included with the accessory kit for more
information. You can also use the SAN24B-4 Quick Start Guide. If you do not want
to use EZSwitch Setup, use the instructions in following sections.
Providing power to the switch
To provide power to the switch:
1. Connect the power cord to the power receptacle on the port side of the switch,
and then to the power source. Ensure that the cord has a minimum service loop
of 15 cm (6 in.) available and is routed to avoid stress.
The switch does not have a on/off power switch. This means that power is
supplied to the switch as soon as you connect it to an AC power source.
The status LEDs display amber until POST is complete, and then change to
green. The switch usually requires from 1 to 3 minutes to boot and complete
POST.
2. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the left
of the port side of the switch are green.

Creating a serial connection
You will perform all basic configuration tasks in this guide using a serial connection.
To create a serial connection to the switch, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial
port on the workstation.
If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the
adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector
into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation.
3. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or
TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX
environment), and configure the application as

follows:
v In a Windows
environment:
Bits per second 9600
Databits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
v In a UNIX environment, type the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the
prompt:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
Setting the switch IP address
You can configure the switch with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch.
DHCP is enabled by default. The switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
Using DHCP
When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to the a
DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not
on the same subnet as the switch, use a static IP address.
Setting a static IP address
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted
decimal notation as prompted.
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in
semicolon-separated notation as prompted.
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
IP address is being changed...Done.
3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted.

Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
4. Enter off to Disable DHCP when prompted.
DHCP [OFF]: off
Setting the date and time
The switch maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time
clock (RTC) circuit. Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation
does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time
value still functions properly. However, because the date and time are used for
logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you should set them correctly.
Setting the date
1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default
password, which is password.
2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy"
The values represent the following:
v mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12
v dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31
v HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23
v MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59
v yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are
interpreted as 1970 through 1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as
2000-2069)
switch:admin> date
Fri Sep 29 17:01:48 UTC 2007
switch:admin> date "0927123007"
Thu Sep 27 12:30:00 UTC 2007
switch:admin>
Setting time zones
You can set the time zone for a switch by name. You can specify the setting using
country and city or time zone parameters.
If the time zone is not set with the new options, the switch retains the offset time
zone settings. The tsTimeZone command also includes an option to revert to the
prior time zone format. For more information about the tstimezone [--old] option,
see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.
You can set the time zone for a switch using the tsTimeZone command. The
tsTimeZone command allows you to perform the following tasks:
v Display all of the time zones supported in the firmware
v Set the time zone based on a country and city combination or based on a time
zone ID such as PST
The time zone setting has the following characteristics:
v You can view the time zone settings. However, only those with administrative
permissions can set the time zones.
v The tsTimeZone setting automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time.

v Changing the time zone on a switch updates the local time zone setup and is
reflected in local time calculations.
v By default, all switches are in the GMT time zone (0,0). If all switches in a fabric
are in one time zone, it is possible for you to keep the time zone setup at the
default setting.
v System services that have already started will reflect the time zone changes only
after the next reboot.
v Time zone settings persist across failover for high availability.
The following procedure describes how to set the time zone for a switch. You must
perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set.
However, you only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the
value is written to nonvolatile memory.
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID,
such as PST.
The following example shows how to display the current time zone setup and
how to change the time zone to US/Central.
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Pacific
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Central
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using
interactive mode to Pacific Standard Time.
1. Type the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive
2. You are prompted to select a general location.
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
3. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl-D to quit.
4. At the prompt, select a country location.
5. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region or
Ctrl-D to quit.
Synchronizing local time using NTP
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration
server (FCS) switch to a maximum of eight external network time protocol (NTP)
servers. To keep the time in your SAN current, it is recommended that the principal
or primary FCS switch has its time synchronized with at least one external NTP
server. The other switches in the fabric will automatically take their time from the
principal or primary FCS switch.
All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server value in non-volatile
memory. By default, this value is the local clock server <LOCL> of the principal or
primary FCS switch. Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary
FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.

For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the
Fabric OS Administrators Guide.
2. Enter the tsClockServer command:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2>"
where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the
switch must be able to access. The second ntp2 is the second NTP server and
is optional. The operand <ntp1;ntp2> is optional; by default, this value is
LOCL, which uses the local clock of the principal or primary switch as the clock
server.
The tsClockServer command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4, IPv6,
or DNS name formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed,
tsclockserver sets the first obtainable address as the active NTP server. The rest
will be stored as backup servers that can take over if the active NTP server fails.
The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP server
every 64 seconds.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"
switch:admin> tsclockserver
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a
DNS name:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"
Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers
Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch
are propagated to all switches in the fabric.

Powering the switch on and off
See Chapter 2, Installing and configuring the switch, on page 5 for initial setup
instructions before powering the switch on for the first time. Once the switch has
been properly configured, follow these instructions to power the switch on and off.
The SAN24B-4 does not have an AC power switch. To power on the SAN24B-4,
connect the power cable to the AC receptacle on the switch and to a power source.
The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on, reset, or rebooted,
and requires a minimum of three minutes to run. To end the flow of power to the
switch, remove the power cord from the power source.
Interpreting LED activity
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on
the switch. All LEDs are located on the port side of the switch. There are three
possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. The steady lights
and flashing lights can be green or amber. The LEDs flash either of these colors
during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes
and diagnostic tests are complete.
The switch has the following LEDs:
v System power LEDOne LED (green) to indicate system power
v System status LEDOne LED (green/amber) to indicate system status
v Ethernet status LEDsTwo LEDs to indicate speed and link status
v Port status LEDs24 LEDs (green/amber) to indicate status for each port

POST and boot specifications
When the switch is turned on or rebooted, the switch performs POST. Total boot
time with POST is up to 3 minutes. POST can be omitted after subsequent reboots
by using the fastboot command or entering the diagDisablePost command to
persistently disable POST.
For more information about these commands, refer to the Fabric OS Command
Reference Manual.
POST
The success or failure results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be
monitored through the error log or the command line interface.
POST includes the following steps:
1. Preliminary POST diagnostics are run.
2. Operating system is initialized.
3. Hardware is initialized.
4. Diagnostic tests are run on several functions, including circuitry, port
functionality, memory, statistics counters, and serialization.
Boot
In addition to POST, boot includes the following steps after POST is complete:
1. Universal port configuration is performed.
2. Links are initialized.
3. Fabric is analyzed, and if any ports are connected to other switches, the switch
participates in a fabric configuration.
4. Switch obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses.
5. Unicast routing tables are constructed.
6. Normal port operation is enabled.

Interpreting POST results
POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on,
rebooted, or reset. During POST, the LEDs flash amber and green. Any errors that
occur during POST are listed in the error log.
To determine that POST completed successfully and whether or not any errors were
detected:
1. Verify that the switch LEDs indicate that all components are healthy. See
Table 4 on page 21 through Table 7 on page 23 for the description and
interpretation of LED patterns. If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy
state, verify that the LEDs on the switch are not set to beacon; use the
switchShow command to detect if beaconing is active.
2. Verify that the switch prompt displays on the terminal of a computer workstation
connected to the switch. If there is no switch prompt when POST completes,
press Enter. If the switch prompt still does not display, try opening another
telnet session or accessing through another management tool. If this is not
successful, the switch did not successfully complete POST; contact IBM Service
for repair.
3. Review the switch system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are
written to the system log, which is accessible through the errShow command.
For information about all referenced commands, and on accessing the error log,
refer to Fabric OS Administrators Guide. For information about error messages,
refer to the Fabric OS System Error Message Reference Manual.
Switch FRU units
The only parts for this switch that are field replaceable are the SFPs. The entire
switch is a FRU. The fan units and power supply are not field replaceable in this
switch.
Maintaining the switch
The switch does not require any regular physical maintenance; it was designed to
minimize the chance of failure. Ensure that the environmental conditions, described
in Environment considerations on page 6, are met. This helps prevent failure of
the switch due to distress or abuse.
Installing SFPs
The switch only supports Brocade-branded SFPs. If you use an unqualified SFP,
the switchShow command output will show the port in an Mod_Inv state. Fabric
OS will also log the issue in the system error log.
Follow these instructions to install an SFP:
1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle)B is in the unlocked position, place the
SFP in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 9 on page
25
Note: Each SFP has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom.
The correct position to insert an SFP into the upper row of ports is with
the gold edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP into the lower
row of ports is with the gold edge up.
2. Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.

2. Remove the cable from the SFP, as shown in section 2.
3. Pull the bail (wire handle) D in section 3 to release the SFP.
4. Grasping it by the bail, gently but firmly pull the SFP (C in section 4) out of the
port.
Attention: If the SFP you are removing does not have a bail, use a small
implement such as a screwdriver to press the release trigger beneath the port.
Non-bailed SFPs can be damaged by the removal process and are not
recommended. Refer to the interoperability matrix at the following web site:
www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/san for a list of supported SFPs and
devices.
5. Repeat this procedure for the remaining ports, as required.

Testing a port, SFP, and fiber cable
The PortLoopbackTest command is used to verify the functional operation of the
switch by sending frames from the port "N" transmitter and looping them back into
the same port "N" receiver. The loopback is done at the parallel loopback path. The
path exercised in this test does not include the media or the fiber cable. However if
data transmission errors indicate that a port, SFP or cable are faulty, you can use
this command to determine whether the port is faulty. You can use those results to
isolate the problem to either the port or the SFP and cable combination. If a port is
faulty, the switch will need to be replaced. If the port is not faulty, the problem is
either with the SFP or the cable.
With this command, only one frame is transmitted and received at a time. No
external cable is required to run this test. The port LEDs flicker rapidly (green) while
the test is running.
The test performs the following operations:
1. Sets all ports for parallel loopback.
2. Creates a frame F of maximum data size (2,112 bytes).
3. Transmits the frame F through port "N".
4. Picks up the frame from the same port "N".
5. Checks the eight statistic error counters for nonzero values:
ENC_in, CRC_err, TruncFrm, FrmTooLong, BadEOF, Enc_out, BadOrdSet, DiscC3
6. Checks whether the transmit, receive, or class 3 receiver counters are stuck at
some value.
7. Checks whether the number of frames transmitted is not equal to the number
of frames received.
8. Repeats Steps 2 through 7 for all ports until one of the following conditions are
met:
a. The number of frames (or passcount) requested is reached.
b. All ports are marked bad.
At each pass, the frame is created from a different data type. If seven passes
are requested, seven different data types are used in the test. If eight passes
are requested, the first seven frames use unique data types, and the eighth is
the same as the first. The seven data types are:
CSPAT: 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, ...
BYTE_LFSR: 0x69, 0x01, 0x02, 0x05, ...
CHALF_SQ: 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, ...
QUAD_NOT: 0x00, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff, ...
CQTR_SQ: 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, ...
CRPAT: 0xbc, 0xbc, 0x23, 0x47, ...
RANDOM: 0x25, 0x7f, 0x6e, 0x9a, ....
9. If the test indicates that all ports are good, the problem is associated with
either the cable or SFP.
10. Replace the SFP with an SFP known to be good.

11. Simulate the data transmission scenario when the error occurred. If the error
does not reappear, the original SFP was defective, and should be discarded. If
the error does reappear, the cable is defective. Replace the cable and discard
the original cable.
12. Simulate the data transmission scenario again to verify that the problem does
not reappear.
Diagnostic tests
In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help troubleshoot the
hardware and the firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry,
fixed media, and the SFPs and cables in use.
The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through
a terminal set up for a serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports
to be connected by external cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the
serializer/deserializer interface, SFP, and cable.
All diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps, depending on the
speed of the link being tested.
Attention: Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of
the links during diagnostic testing.
For information about specific diagnostic tests, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrators Guide.
Managing the switch
You can use the management functions built into the switch to monitor the fabric
topology, port status, physical status, and other information to help you analyze
switch performance and to accelerate system debugging. The switch automatically
performs power-on-self-test (POST) each time it is turned on. Any errors are
recorded in the error log. For more information about POST, see POST and boot
specifications on page 23.
For information about upgrading the version of Fabric OS installed on your switch,
refer to the Fabric OS Administrators Guide. You can manage the switch using any

40 C (104 F) while the switch is
operating
v At a minimum, adequate cooling requires
that you install the switch with the nonport
side, which contains the air intake vents,
facing the cool-air aisle
v All equipment in the rack should force air
in the same direction to avoid intaking
exhaust air
v Ensure that airflow and temperature
requirements are met on an ongoing
basis, particularly if the switch is installed
in a closed or multicabinet assembly
Cabinet (when rack-mounted)
v One rack unit in a standard EIA 19-in.
