time, the Switch will shutdown. The failed
fan should be replaced as soon as
possible.
Sixteen Fibre Channel ports Fibre Channel ports with link speeds up to
1-, 2-, or 4-Gbit/sec
Two GbE ports GbE ports.

Power supplies
Two power supplies, 12 V, 300 W with dual speed fans.
The power supplies are hot-swappable FRU, allowing 1+1 redundant configurations. The unit is
universal power supply capable of functioning worldwide without voltage jumpers or switches. The
fully enclosed, self-contained unit has internal fans to provide cooling and is autoranging in terms
of accommodating input voltages.
If one power supply fails, the Switch can continue to operate but the failed power supply should be
replaced as soon as possible.
The power supply provides three DC outputs (5V standby and 12V), providing a total output power
of 300 maximum usable watts. Each power supply plugs directly into the enclosure from the port
side of the unit, mating to internal blind connectors that connect both the DC outputs and the
interface signals to the system backplane. An integral on/off switch, input filter, and power
indicator are provided in each power supply, as well as a serial EEPROM device that provides
identifying information.

Multiprotocol ports
There are 16 multiprotocol ports (numbered 0 through 15, left to right). Each of the 16
multiprotocol ports can be equipped with an SFP (optional). The SFPs are hot-swappable and use
industry-standard local channel connectors. In Fibre Channel mode, each port provides ISL and
fabric (E, EX, and F respectively) type connectivity that is automatically sensed and requires no
administration to identify the port type.

2 7600 Hardware Reference Manual

53-1000555-01
 Overview 1

In addition to the 16 Fibre Channel ports, 16 internal ports (VE and VEX), which are referred to as
virtual or hidden ports are available. These internal ports are managed by virtualization software.
In Gigabit Ethernet mode, SFP fiber optic transceivers that convert electrical signals to optical
signals (and optical signals to electrical signals) are used. Capable of transmitting at both 1, 2, and
4 Gbit/sec speeds, each SFP fiber optic transceiver supports 850 nm SWL on multimode fiber
optic cable and 1310 nm LWL on single-mode fiber optic cable. These miniature optical
transceivers provide the high port density available in the Switch and deliver twice the port density
of standard removable GBIC transceivers. Refer to Table 4-2 on page 4-3 for information about the
Fibre Channel port LEDs.

Management Ports
The Switch provides 10/100 BaseT for switch management and two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports
for virtualization management. When a device is connected to the port, both ends negotiate to
determine the optimal speed. The Ethernet port uses an RJ-45 connector. The TCP/IP address for
each port can be configured from the serial port.

Serial Port
An RS-232 serial port is provided on the Multiprotocol Router. The serial port uses an RJ-45
connector. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity, with flow
control set to None. This connector is for initial IP address configuration and for recovery of the
Switch to its factory default settings, should flash memory contents be lost. The serial port
connection is not intended for normal administration/maintenance functions.

LOCATIONS
The locations are divided into the port side and non-port sides.

Installing and Configuring the Switch 2

Installation and safety considerations

You can install the Switch in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface. For instructions and more information, see “Setting up
the Switch as a standalone unit” on page 11.
• In an cabinet using the either the fixed rack mount kit, slide rack mount kit, or the mid-mount
rack kit. For more information, see “Installing in a standard cabinet” on page 11.
To install and operate the Switch successfully, ensure that the following requirements are met:
• The primary AC input is 100-240 VAC (autosenses input voltage), 47-63 Hz.
• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in
accordance with local electrical codes.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating
on the Switch nameplate.
For power supply information, see Power supply specifications on page 4-30.

WARNING
To ensure adequate cooling, install the Switch with the nonport side, which contains the air intake
vents, facing a cool-air aisle.

Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40× C (104× F) and that the ambient
humidity remains between 10% and 85% (non-condensing) while the Switch is operating.
If installing the Switch in a cabinet:
• The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
• Plan a cabinet space that is 1U (1.75 in.; 4.44 cm), 19 in. (48.3 cm) wide, and at least 61 cm
(24 in.) deep.
• 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.
• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if
the Switch is installed in a closed or multirack assembly.
• Verify that the additional weight of the Switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits or
unbalance the cabinet in any way.
• Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.
For additional installation, electrical, environmental, and other considerations, see the Brocade

in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, see the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
a. Remove the plugs from the ports to be used.
b. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until it is firmly
seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
For instructions specific to the type of transceiver, see the transceiver manufacturer’s
documentation.

NOTE
The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily,
ensure that it is correctly oriented.

c. Repeat Steps a and b for the remaining ports, as required.

2. Connect the cables to the transceivers. See “Recommendations for cable management” on
page 19 for information on managing cables.
The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these
requirements, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

CAUTION
A multi-mode fiber cable should not be bent to a radius less than 5.08 cm (2 in.) under
full tensile load and 3.04 cm (1.2 in.) with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not
recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened.

a. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector) aligns with
the slot in the transceiver. Then, insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching
mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to cable type, see the cable manufacturer’s
documentation.

NOTE
The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a cable does not install easily,
ensure that it is correctly oriented.

b. Repeat Step a for the remaining cables as required.

3. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED
patterns, see “Powering off the Switch” on page 28.
4. Verify the correct operation of the Switch by entering the switchShow command from the
workstation.

SET THE SWITCH DATE AND TIME

The date and time settings 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.
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS)
switch to that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
To set the date and time of a switch, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the Switch as admin.
2. Enter the date command at the command line using the following syntax:
date “MMDDhhmm[CC]YY”

where:
- MM is the month (01-12)
- DD is the date (01-31)
- hh is the hour (00-23)
- mm is minutes (00-59)
- CC is the century (19-20)
- YY is the year (00-99)
Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values less than 70 are
interpreted as 2000-2069. The date function does not support Daylight Savings Time or time
zones, so changes will have to be reset manually. Use the timezone command to change time zone
which is described later in this document

CORRECT THE TIME ZONE OF A SWITCH

If the time of your switch(es) is off by hours (and not minutes), use the following procedure on all
switches.
To set the time zone, follow these steps:
1. Log in as admin.
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
tstimezone [houroffset [, minuteoffset]]

For Pacific Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -8,0

For Central Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -6,0
For Eastern Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -5,0
The default time zone for switches is universal time conversion (UTC). Additional time zone
conversions are listed later in this section.
The parameters listed do not apply if the time zone of the switch(es) has already been changed
from the default (8 hours ahead of PT).
For more detailed information about the command parameters, see the tsTimeZone command
in the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 on all switches that the time zone needs to be set.

patterns, see “Powering off the Switch” on page 28.
2. Run the portcfgpersistentenable command to activate the FC ports for FC operation.
3. Verify the correct operation of the Switch by entering the switchShow command from the
workstation. This command provides information about Switch and port status.
4. Verify the correct operation of the Switch in the fabric by entering the fabricShow command
from the workstation. This command provides general information about the fabric.
5. Back up the Switch configuration to an FTP server by entering the configUpload command and
following the prompts.
This command uploads the Switch configuration to the server, making it available for
downloading to a replacement switch if necessary.
It is recommended that the configuration be backed up on a regular basis to ensure that a
complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch. For specific
instructions about how to back up the configuration, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
The switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric
OS Command Reference Manual.

 Recommendations for cable management 2

Recommendations for cable management

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, such as by using cable channels or
patch panels. Following is a list of recommendations:
• Plan cable management before installing the Switch in a cabinet or rack.
• Leave at least approximately 1 meter (over 3 feet) 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.
• If possible, keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.

CAUTION
A multi-mode fiber cable should not be bent to a radius less than 5.08 cm (2 in.) under full tensile
load and 3.04 cm (1.2 in.) with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables
because the tie wraps can be easily overtightened and damage the optic fibers.

Most maintenance activities can be performed using one of two methods:
• CLI
• Web Tools.
You can also set up monitoring alerts using SNMP, syslog, or software features (such as Brocade
Advanced Web Tools). Refer to the Brocade Advanced Web Tools Administrator’s Guide—AP Edition
and Brocade Features Guide (includes Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring) for additional
information.

MONITOR SYSTEM COMPONENTS

System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the Switch.
There are three possible LED states:
• No light
• Steady light
• Flashing light
The lights are in one of the following colors:
• Green
• Amber
The status LEDs may display amber or flash during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is
normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot
processes and diagnostic tests are complete.

LEDS ON THE PORT SIDE OF THE SWITCH

The port side of the Switch has the following LEDs:
• One system status LED (above) on the left side
• One power status LED (below) on the left side
• Ethernet speed and status LEDs
• One port status LED for each Fibre Channel port on the Switch. The port LEDs are located in
the array in the same relative positions as the ports.
• Ethernet speed and status LEDs for each GbE port

Figure 4 shows the port side of the Switch.

Interpreting POST results

POST is a system check that is performed each time the Switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset,
and during which the LEDs flash different colors.
To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were detected:
• Verify that the LEDs on the Switch indicate that all components are healthy (LED patterns are
described in Table 5 on page 3-23 and Table 6 on page 3-25). If one or more LEDs do not
display a healthy state:
- Verify that the LEDs are not set to “beacon” (this can be determined through the
switchShow command or Web Tools). For information about how to turn beaconing on and
off, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide or the Advanced Web Tools Administrator’s
Guide.
- Follow the recommended action for the observed LED behavior, as listed in
Table 5 on page 3-23 or Table 6 on page 3-25.
• Using either Web Tools or the CLI, verify that the diagnostic status for all ports in the Switch is
OK.

 3 Maintaining the Switch

- If using Web Tools, select Port Admin or Status to display information about the ports.
- If using CLI, use the diagShow command.
• Review the system log for errors.
- If using Web Tools, errors are listed under Switch Events.
- If using the CLI, errors detected during POST are written to the system log, which is viewed
using the errShow command. For more information about this command, see the Fabric
OS Command Reference Manual.
- For information about specific error messages, see the Fabric OS System Error Message
Reference Manual.

Maintaining the Switch

The Switch is designed for high availability and low failure; it does not require any regular physical
maintenance. It includes diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units, described in the following
sections.

PERFORMING DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware and
firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the
transceivers 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, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loop back plugs.
Diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1-Gbit/sec, 2-Gbit/sec, and 4-Gbit/sec. For information
about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

NOTE
Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during diagnostic
testing.

REPLACING FIELD REPLACEABLE UNITS

You can replace the filed replaceable unit (FRUs) which are the power supplies and fan assemblies
on site without the use of special tools. The power supplies and fan assemblies are keyed to ensure
correct orientation during installation. Removal and replacement instructions are provided with all
replacement units ordered.

WARNING
The Switch has two power cords. To remove power from the Switch, disconnect both power cords.

Power supplies
The two power supplies are hot-swappable and are identical and can be installed into either power
supply slot.
Fabric OS identifies the power supplies as follows (viewing the Switch from the nonport side):
