THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply wit h the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Th is equipment generates, uses, and can radi ate radio- frequen c y ener gy and, if not instal led and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from th e television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to sa tisfactory levels.

–

Hot-swappable Advanced Services Module (ASM) that provides virtualization services

• T wo po wer supplies t hat are redundant by def ault and can be co nfigured to be

combinant if desired.

• Redundant, self-monitoring clock modules for system clock generation.

Note The clock modules in the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch have a

field-measured mean time between failures (MTBF) of approximately 3.2 million hours or 365 years. In the unlik ely ev ent of a clock module failure, the system generates an error message and a switchover from one clock module to the other occurs, causing the system to reset automatically. These clock modules are not hot swappable, so system downtime must be scheduled to replace a failed clock module.

Power Supplies

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch supports dual hot swappable 845 Watt AC power supplies, each of which can supply sufficient power to the entire chassis should one power supply fail. The power supplies monitor their output voltage and provide status to the supervisor-fabric module. To prevent the unexpected shutdown of an optional module, power management software only all ows a module to power up if adequate power is available.

The Cisco MDS 9216 power supplies can be configured to be redundant or combined. By default, they are configured as redundant, so that if one fails, the remaining power supply can still power the entire system. For information about how to configure the power supplies, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide.

The power supplies are illustrated in Figure 1-2.

Sensors on the su pervisor module monitor the internal air temperature. If the air temperature exceeds a preset threshold, the environmental monitor displays warning messages.

If one or more fans within the fan module fail, the Fan Status LED turns red. Individual fans cannot be replaced, you must replace the entire fan module. The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch continues to run if the fan module is remov ed, as long as preset temperature thresholds have not been exceeded. This means you can swap out a fan module without having to bring the system down. To replace a fan module, see the “Removing and Installing the Fan Mo dule” section on page 2-31.

Switching Modules

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch supports the following hot-swappable switching modules:

• 16-Port 1 Gbps / 2 Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

• 32-Port 1 Gbps / 2 Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch supports one hot-swappable switching or services module in addition to the 16-port 1 Gbps / 2 Gbps switching module that is part of the supervisor module.

The Fibre Channel switching modules provide system-wide power management and auto-negotiation, which allows ports to negotiate for speed at the other end of the link. Each module has temperature sensors and an EEPROM that stores serial number and model number information.

The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Fibre Channel SFP transceivers, which can be short wavelength (SWL) or long wavelength (LWL). The port interfaces also support coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) SFP transceivers, which can be used for extended long wavelength (EWL) transmission or for coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM). For more information about SFP transceivers, see Supported SFP Transceivers,

page 1-21.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

16-Port 1 Gbps / 2 Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

The 32-port 1 Gbps / 2 Gbps Fibre Channel swit ching modu le can be use d to allocate bandwidth optimally, and delivers the industry’s highest line-card port density. The module is organized into eight four-port groups. Only the first port in each four-port group can be an ISL. If the first port is an ISL, the other three ports in the group are disabled. The four ports within a port group share a single internal channel resulting in a subscription ratio of approximately 3.2:1. The 32-port 1 Gbps / 2 Gbps switching module provides more ports at a lower price per port. Figure 1-6 shows a 32-port switching module.

Switching Module Features

Each switching module draws its power from the 42V supplied on the backplane with local DC/DC power converters and regulators.

The control processor on the switching module provides power-on, offline, and online diagnostics. The control processor can be used to configure devices on the switching module and to gather statistical data from each port.

The control processor can determine which slot it is plugged into, and it can monitor its DC/DC power source and temperature. The control processor signals the supervisor module and displays an alarm on its front panel when a problem is detected.

91673

1-12

The front panel on the switching module provides basic status information, such as power-on, self-test running, self-test passed, alarm, and ready.

The binary image for the switching module is downloaded from the supervisor module. Prior to the image download, the control processor on the switching module runs from code stored on its local CompactFlash card.

Note Routine software downloads are not required.

The supervisor module can force a reset on the switching module and controls whether power is applied to the switching module.

If a single component or a set of components on the switching module fails, this does not disable other switching modules if that is the only failure in the system.

For the detection of most component failures, each switching module has a hardware watchdog timer that resets the card if is not serviced periodically.

• Consider heat dissipation when sizing the air-conditioning requirements

(environmental and heat dissipation requirements are listed in Appendix B,

“Technical Specifications” ).

• Ensure the site power meets the power requirements listed in Appendix B,

“Technical Specifications” . If available, you can use an uninterruptible

power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.

Caution Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technolog y. These UPS types can become

unstable with systems like the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns.

• Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North

America, the 845 Watt power supply requires a 15A or 20A circuit. If you are using a 200/240 VAC power source in North America, the circuit

must be protected by a two-pole circuit breaker.

Caution To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits

supplying power to the switch are within the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.

Powering Up the Switch and Verifying Component Installation

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Statement 1029

To power up the switch and verify hardware operation, follow these steps:

Step 1 Verify that the faceplates of all modules are flush with the front of the chassis,

and the ejector lev ers are fully closed and approximately parallel to th e fr on t o f th e module.

Step 2 Verify tha t any empty modul e slots have filler panels installed. Step 3 Verify that both power supplies and the fan module are installed. Step 4 Check the captive screws of the power supplies, fan module, and all supervisor,

switching, or services modules, and tighten any loose captive screws.

Step 5 Connect the black cable provided in the accessory kit to the console port on the

switch and to the console terminal (see the “Connecting to the Console Port”

section on page 3-2).

Note Do not connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to the LAN until the initial

switch configuration has been performed. Fo r instructions on configuring the switch, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide.

78-16165-01

Step 6 Ensure that the switch is adequately grounded as described in the “Gro unding the

Chassis” section on page 2-15, and that the power cables are connected to outlets

that have the required A C power v oltages (provi ded in the “Power Specif ications”

section on page B-3).

Step 7 Power up the switch by moving the power switches on the power supplies to the

on (|) position. The switch boo ts automa tically.

CHA P TER

Connecting the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch provides the following types of ports:

• CONSOLE port (Interface Module): An RS-232 port that you can use to

create a local management connection.

• COM1 port (Interface Module): An RS-232 port that you can use to connect

to an external serial communication device such as a modem.

• MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port (Interface Module): An Ethernet port that you

can use to access and manage the switch by IP address, such as through the CLI or Fabric Manager.

• Fibre Channel ports (Supervisor and Switching Modules): Fibre Channel

ports that you can use to connect to the SAN, or for in-band management.

78-16165-01

Caution When running power and data cables in overhead or sub-floor cable trays, we

strongly recommend that power cables and other potential noise sources be located as far away as practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 ft (1 m), we recommend shielding any potential noise sources b y housing them in a grounded metallic conduit.

Preparing for Network Connections

When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch, consider the following for each type of interface, and gather all the required equipment before connecting the ports:

• Cabling required for each interface type

• Distance limitations for each signal type

• Additional interface equipment required

Connecting to the Console Port

The console port, labeled “Console”, is an RS-232 port with an RJ-45 interface (see Figure 3-1 on page 3-3). The console port is an asynchronous (async) serial port; any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission.

W e recommend usin g this port to create a local man agement connection to set the IP address and other initial config uration set tings before conn ecting the switch to the network for the first time.

Note Connecting the console port to a modem is supported for switches running Cisco

MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a) or later. Although the console port can be used to connect to a modem, the COM1 port is recommended for this purpose.

Installing an SFP Transceiver and Fiber Optic Cable

To connect an SFP transceiver and fiber optic cable to a Fibre Channel port, follow these steps:

78-16165-01

Step 1 Verify that the transceiver and cable type both have LC-connectors and are the

required type for longwav e or shortw a ve tr ansmission and the requ ired distances. The transceiver label generally lists the model and wavelength.

Step 2 Remove the dust plug from the port end of the transceiver by pressing the trigger

on top of the plug to release the latch (clicks open) and pulling the plug out.

Step 3 Align and insert the transceiver into the port until the latch clicks. Transceivers

are keyed to prevent incorrect installation; if it does not slide in easily, v erify it is correctly oriented.

Step 4 Remove the dust plugs from the cable and the cable-end of the transceiver. Step 5 Align and insert the cable end into the transceiver (see Figure 3-4) until the latch

clicks. Cables are keyed to prevent incorrect installation. If the cable does not slide in easily, verify it is correctly oriented.

Removing an SFP Transceiver and Fiber Optic Cable

Caution When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not

pull on the jacket slee v e, sin ce this can co mpromise the f iber-optic termination in the connector.

To remove an SFP transceiver and fiber optic cable from a Fibre Channel port, follow these steps:

Step 1 Press the latch on top of the SFP to release the lock and gently pull the transceiv er

from the port.

Step 2 If desired, remove the cable from the transcei ver by pressing th e latch on the cable

and pulling the cable from the transceiver.

Step 3 Cover the ends of the transceiver and the cable with the appropriate dust caps.

Maintaining SFP Transceivers and Fiber Optic Cables

SFP transceivers and fiber optic cables must be kept clean and dust-free to maintain high signal accuracy and prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination, and should be below 0.35 dB.

Maintenance guidelines:

• SFP transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an

ESD-preventive wrist strap that is connected to the chassis.

• Do not remove and insert a transceiver more often than necessary. Repeated

removals and insertions can shorten its useful life.

• Keep all optical connections covered when not in use. If they become dusty,

clean before using to prevent dust from scratching the fiber optic cable ends.

• Do not touch ends of connectors to prevent fingerprints and other

contamination.

Troubleshooting

This appendix describes how to troubleshoot the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch installation, and includes th e following inform ation:

• Getting Started, page A-1

• Solving Problems at the Component Level, page A- 2

• Identifying Startup Problems, page A-3

• Troubleshooting the Power Supplies, page A-5

• Troubleshooting the Fan Module, page A-6

• Troubleshooting Switching and Services Modules, page A-6

• Contacting Customer Service, page A-7

Getting Started

Problems with the initial power up are often caused by a mo dule that is not f irmly connected to the backplane or a power supply that has been disconnected from the power cord connector.

Overheating can also cause problems with the system, though typically only after the system has been operating for an extended period of time. The most common cause of overheating is the failure of a fan module.

Cisco MDS 9216 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

A-1

Solving Problems at the Component Level

Send documentation comments to mdsfeedback-doc@cisco.com.

When the initial system boot is complete, verify the following:

• Power supplies are supplying power to the system. See the “Removing and

Installing Power Supplies” section on page 2-27.

• The system fan module is operating. See the “Remov ing and Installing the

Fan Module” section on page 2-31.

• The system software boots successfully . Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family

Configuration Guide for information on booting the system and initial

configuration tasks.

• The supervisor module and the swit ching or services module are installed

correctly and each one initialized without problems. For more in formation, see the “Removing and Installing Switching and Services Modules” section

on page 2-22 and the “Verifying Installation of a Switching or Services Module in Slot 2” section on page 2-27.

If each of these conditions is met and the hardware installation is complete, refer

to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide to troubleshoot the software. However, if any of these conditions are not met, use the procedures in this appendix to isolate and, if possible, resolve the problem.

Appendix A Troubleshooting

Solving Problems at the Component Level

The key to success when troubleshooting the system is to isolate the problem to a specific system component. The first step is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing. Because a startup problem can usually be attributed to a single component, it is more efficient to isolate the problem to a subsystem rather than troubleshoot each separate component in the system.

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch includes the following subsystems:

• Power supply—The power supply includes the power supply fans.

• Fan module—The fan module should operate whenever system power is on.

You should see the Fan LED turn green and should hear the fan module to determine whether or not it is operating. If the Fan LED is red, this indicates that one or more fans in the fan module is not operating. You should immediately contact your customer service representative (see the

“Contacting Customer Service” section on page A-7). There are no

installation adjustments that you can make if the fan module does not function properly at initial startup.

• Supervisor module—The supervisor module contains the system operating

software, so check your supervisor module if you have trouble with the system software. A Status LED indicates whether the supervisor module can initialize the module in slot 2, if present.

• Switching or services module—A Status LED on the module indicates if it

was initialized by the supervisor module. A mo du le that is partially installed in the backplane can cause the system to halt.

Identifying Startup Problems

LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the LEDs, you can determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence.

To identify startup problems, follow these steps:

Identifying Startup Problems

78-16165-01

Step 1 Turn on the power supply by pressing the switch on (|). You should immediately

hear the system fan module begin to operate. If you do not, see the

“Troubleshooting the Power Supplies” section on page A-5. If you determine that

the power supplies are functioning normally and the fan module is faulty, contact your customer service representative. If the system fan module does not function properly at initial startup, there are no installation adjustments that you can make. To replace the fan module, see the “Removing and Installing the Fan Module”

section on page 2-31.

Step 2 Verify that the LEDs on the interface module are on as follows:

• The Status LED flashes orange once and stays orange during diagnostic boot

tests. It turns green when the module is operational (online). If the system software is unable to start up, this LED stays orange.

• The System LED turns green, indicating that all chassis environmental

monitors are reporting that the system is operational. If one (or more) environmental monit ors reports a prob lem, the System LED is orange or red.

For a complete description of the supervisor module and inter face module LEDs, see the “Supervisor Module LEDs” section on page 1-7 and the “Interface Module

LEDs” section on page 1-9.

Step 3 Verify that the Status LEDs on the supervisor module and on the switching or

services module are green when the supervisor module completes initialization. This LED indicates that the modules are receiving power. It also indicates that the module is recognized by the supervisor module, and that it contains a valid Flash code version. This LED does not indicate the state of the individual interfaces on the switching module.
