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.
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.

b. Check the alignment of the slides by sliding the switch in and out of the rack. Any difficulty moving the switch indicates lateral stress or misalignment. If this situation occurs, adjust the slide positions until the movement is smooth. 8. Optional step: If the right and left rack mount brackets are installed on the front corners of the switch, attach both brackets to the cabinet rack by using M5 x 12 screws 7 . See step 4 on page 11 and Figure 3 on page 9. The screws should pass through the front of each bracket and the slide rail. Note: Some rack mount kits might use 10-32 nut clips in place of the M5 nut clips for the locking ears. 9. Continue with initial setup of the switch by following the procedures in Configuring the switch on page 14.
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.
13
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.
14
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
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.
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.
15
Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0] IP Address: [192.168.74.102] Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0] to Disable DHCP when prompted.
16
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. 1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default password, which is password. 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
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.
17
For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the Fabric OS Administrators Guide. 1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default password, which is password. 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.

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 1. 2. 3. addition to POST, boot includes the following steps after POST is complete: Universal port configuration is performed. Links are initialized. 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.
23
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.

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.
