Power Supplies

The Cisco MDS 9100 Series supports dual AC power supplies. Each power supply provides sufficient power to maintain switch operation in the event of a single power supply failure. Power supplies are hot swappable and can be individually replaced without disruption to the system. (See the “Power

Specifications” section on page B-2.)

Caution Power supplies for the Cisco 9100 Series look similar but they differ slightly. Be sure to use the correct

power supply designated for your Cisco 9100 Series switch. Using an incorrect power supply will not provide redundant power in the case of a power supply failure.

The power supply has two LEDs, AC ok and DC ok. Power supply status is also indicated on a front panel LED.

Procedures for replacing and installing the power supplies are available in the “Removing and Installing

Components” section on page 2-26.

The Cisco MDS 9124 Switch includes a front panel reset button that resets the switch without cycling the power.

The Cisco MDS 9134 Switch includes a reset button on the left side of the switch as shown in Figure 1-5.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Fan Modules

The Cisco MDS 9140 Switch, the Cisco MDS 9134 Switch, and the Cisco MDS 9120 Switch support two hot-swappable fan modules that allow the switches to continue to run if a fan module is removed, provided that the preset temperature thresholds have not been exceeded. You can swap out a fan module without having to bring the system down. Each fan module on the Cisco MDS 9134 Switch has two fans. The Cisco MDS 9124 Switch includes three fixed fans and an additional fan in each removable power supply. For normal operation, the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch requires four fans.

Cisco MDS 9100 Series Hardware Installation Guide

OL-16187-01

Page 21

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Caution The Cisco MDS 9000 Family has internal temperature sensors that are capable of shutting down the

system if the temperature at different points within the chassis exceed certain safety thresholds. To be effective, the temperature sensors require the presence of airflow; therefore, in the event a fan module is removed from the chassis, the Cisco MDS 9140 Switch and the Cisco 9120 Switch will shut down after five minutes to prevent potentially undetectable overheating. However, the switches will shut down sooner if the higher-level temperature threshold is exceeded. For normal operation, the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch requires four fans. When fewer than four fans are operating on the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch, the switch will shut down.

Except for the Cisco MDS 9134 Switch, the fan modules each have one Status LED. The Cisco MDS 9134 Switch fan modules do not have a Status LED. Fan module status is also indicated on a front panel LED.

Procedures for replacing and installing the fan modules are available in the “Removing and Installing

Components” section on page 2-26.

Cisco MDS 9100 Series Ports

The Cisco MDS 9100 Series provides host, target, and Inter-Switch Link (ISL) connectivity.

Ports on the Cisco MDS 9134 Switch

The Cisco MDS 9134 Switch provides up to 32 autosensing and autonegotiating Fibre Channel ports capable of speeds of 1, 2, and 4 Gbps. The first 24 ports are licensed by default. On-Demand Port Activation Licensing allows expansion to 32 ports, with additional ports available as an 8-port group. The Cisco MDS 9134 Switch also offers two 10-Gbps ports. Table 1-1 shows the mapping of ports to port groups.

All 32 4-Gbps ports and 2 10-Gbps ports can operate at line rate concurrently. In addition, the 10-Gbps ports can be activated independently at 24- or 32-port configurations.

A 64-port switch can be formed by stacking two Cisco MDS 9134 Switches together using a copper CX4 X2 transceiver.

The Cisco MDS 9134 Switch includes hot-swappable SFP interfaces. All SFP interfaces are 1, 2, and 4 Gbps, with autosensing capabilities. Individual ports can be configured with either short- or long-wavelength SFP optics for connectivity up to 860 meters and 10 kilometers, respectively. The two 10-Gbps ports support X2 form factor optics, either copper or optical.

For more information about on-demand port licensing, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide and the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.

Ports on the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch

The Cisco MDS 9124 Switch has 24 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps autosensing and autonegotiating Fibre Channel ports with on-demand port activation licensing.

The on-demand ports are licensed in groups of eight. By default, an on-demand license for the first eight ports (ports 1 through 8) is included with the switch. You can transfer that license to other ports on the switch or obtain extra licenses to make more ports on the switch available. You can activate additional ports in 8-port increments with each on-demand port license. To purchase additional on-demand port licenses, contact your customer service representative and refer to Part Number M9124PL8-4G=.

For more information about on-demand port licensing, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide and the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide. See

Ports on the Cisco MDS 9140 Switch and the Cisco MDS 9120 Switch

On the Cisco MDS 9140 Switch and the Cisco MDS 9120 Switch, bandwidth optimized ports are on the left side of the front panel, surrounded by a white border. These ports are best used for applications requiring very high bandwidth: for example, ISL connections between switches and high-performance host or target controllers. These ports support a sustained data rate of up to 2 Gbps in each direction, on all ports simultaneously.

Host optimized ports are best for all but the most bandwidth intensive connections and are typically used to connect host devices (servers) to the SAN. These ports are organized into four port groups.

The four ports within a port group share access to a single internal channel resulting in a subscription ratio of approximately 3.2:1.

Tip For full 2-Gbps bandwidth between two devices using host optimized ports, connect one device to the

first port group and connect the second device to the second port group.

The only restrictions are that SWL transceivers must be paired with SWL transceivers, and LWL transceivers with LWL transceivers, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.

Supported SFP Transceivers

For the list of supported SFP transceivers, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes. For more information about a specific Cisco SFP transceiver, see the “SFP Transceiver Specifications” section on

page B-4. SFP transceivers can be ordered separately or with the Cisco MDS 9100 Series.

Note Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9100 Series. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded

with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for the switch.

Fibre Channel SFP Transceivers

Cisco Fibre Channel SFP transceivers are available in SWL or LWL versions. Both versions are 1-Gbps/2-Gbps capable. The Cisco MDS 9124 Switch supports 4-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP transceivers.

Cisco Fibre Channel SFP transceivers have LC connectors and comply with 1-, 2-, and 4 Gbps Fibre Channel standards as defined in FC-PI 10.0 2.

Transmission ranges for 2 Gbps are as follows:

• Long wavelength: Up to 6.2 miles (10 km) on 9-micron single-mode fiber

• Short wavelength: Up to 328 yards (300 m) on 50-micron multi-mode fiber

• Short wavelength: Up to 164 yards (150 m) on 62.5-micron multi-mode fiber

Transmission ranges for 4 Gbps are as follows:

• Long wavelength: Up to 6.2 miles (10 km) on 9-micron single-mode fiber

• Short wavelength: Up to 546 yards (500 m) on 50-micron multi-mode fiber

• Short wavelength: Up to 328 yards (300 m) on 62.5-micron multi-mode fiber

Supported SFP Transceivers

Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers

The combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers from Cisco Systems are available in SWL or LWL versions for the Cisco MDS 9140 Switch and the Cisco MDS 9120 Switch. Both versions are 1-Gbps and 2-Gbps capable.

The combination SFP transceivers from Cisco Systems have LC connectors and comply with 1-Gbps and 2-Gbps Fibre Channel as defined in FC-PI 10.0 2 and Gigabit Ethernet as defined in IEEE 802.3z.

Transmission ranges are as follows:

• Long wavelength: Up to 6.2 miles (10 km) on 9-micron single mode fiber

• Short wavelength: Up to 328 yards (300 m) on 50-micron multi-mode fiber

• Short wavelength: Up to 164 yards (150 m) on 62.5-micron multi-mode fiber

For transceiver specifications, see Appendix C, “Cable and Port Specifications.”

CWDM Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers

All Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet ports in the Cisco MDS 9100 Series support CWDM SFP transceivers.

The Cisco CWDM SFP transceivers have LC connectors and support both Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel (1-Gbps / 2-Gbps). They match the wavelength plan of Cisco CWDM GBICs and Cisco CWDM optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs).

CWDM SFP transceivers can be used in two ways:

• CWDM transmission can send and receive up to eight laser wavelengths carrying different signals

simultaneously on the same optical fiber, using an OADM.

• ELWL signals can transmit over longer distances than LWL SFP transceivers.

There are eight different “colors” of CWDM SFP transceivers, one for each fixed wavelength. The fiber optic cables from the CWDM SFP transceivers must be connected to an OADM, which combines the wavelengths of the different outgoing signals into one composite send signal, and separates the received transmissions into the different wavelengths and sends them to the corresponding CWDM SFP transceiver.

For detailed transceiver specifications, see Appendix C, “Cable and Port Specifications.”

Installation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when installing the Cisco MDS 9100 Series:

• Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the switch. The recommended site

planning tasks are listed in Appendix D, “Site Planning and Maintenance Records.”

Preinstallation

• Ensure there is adequate space around the switch to allow for servicing the switch and for adequate

airflow (airflow requirements are listed in Appendix B, “Technical Specifications”).

• Ensure the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Appendix B,

“Technical Specifications.”

• Ensure the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in Appendix A, “Cabinet and Rack

Installation.”

Note If the front cabinet mounting rails are not offset from the front door or bezel panel by a minimum

of 3 in. (7.6 cm), and a minimum of 5 in. (12.7 cm) if cable management brackets are installed on the front of the chassis, the chassis should be mounted rear-facing to ensure the minimum bend radius for fiber-optic cables. See the“Installing the Switch in a Cabinet with Insufficient

Front Clearance” section on page 2-11.

Note Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. For more information, see the “Jumper

Power Cord” section on page C-5.

• Ensure the chassis is adequately grounded. If the switch is not mounted in a grounded rack, we

recommend connecting both the system ground on the chassis and the power supply ground to an earth ground.

• 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 technology. These UPS types can become unstable

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

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9100 Series

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

For North America, the 300-W power supplies require a 20-A circuit. If you are using a 200- or 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 current ratings for wiring and breakers.

• As you install and configure the switch, record the information listed in the “Site Planning and

Maintenance Records” section on page D-1.

• Use the following screw torques when installing the switch:

–

Captive screws: 4 in-lb

–

M3 screws: 4 in-lb

–

M4 screws: 12 in-lb

–

10-32 screws: 20 in-lb

–

12-24 screws: 30 in-lb

Required Equipment

Gather the following tools before beginning the installation:

• Number 1 Phillips screwdriver with torque capability

• 3/16-in. flat-blade screwdriver

• Tape measure and level

• ESD wrist strap or other grounding device

• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam

The following additional items (not found in the accessory kit) are required to ground the chassis:

• Grounding cable (6 AWG recommended), sized according to local and national installation

requirements; the required length depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities

• Crimping tool large enough to accommodate girth of lug

• Wire-stripping tool

Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch

Caution When handling switch components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges only.

An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis must be grounded through the power cable, the chassis ground, or the metal-to-metal contact with a grounded rack.

Tip Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping in the future.

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 it should be kept below 0.35 dB.

Follow these 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. This prevents fingerprints and other contamination of the

connectors.

• Clean regularly; the required frequency of cleaning depends upon the environment. In addition,

clean connectors if they are exposed to dust or accidentally touched. Both wet and dry cleaning techniques can be effective; refer to your site’s fibre-optic connection cleaning procedures.

Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port

• Inspect routinely for dust and damage. If damage is suspected, clean and then inspect fiber ends

under a microscope to determine if damage has occurred.

SFP Transceiver Specifications

Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems

For connecting the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch AC power supplies to the site power source, follow these basic guidelines

• Each power supply should have its own dedicated branch circuit.

• For international, circuits should be sized according to local and national codes.

• The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding

conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service equipment.

SFP Transceiver Specifications

The Cisco MDS 9100 Series is compatible with SFP transceivers and cables that have LC connectors. Each transceiver must match the transceiver on the other end of the cable in terms of wavelength, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.

Cisco SFP transceivers provide the uplink interfaces, laser transmit (TX), and laser receive (RX), and they support 850 to 1610 nm nominal wavelengths, depending upon the transceiver.

Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9100 Series. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for the switch. For the list of supported SFP transceivers, see the release notes.

APPENDIX

Cable and Port Specifications

This appendix includes the cables and connectors used with the Cisco MDS 9100 Series Fixed Configuration Fabric Switch, and it includes the following sections:

• Cables and Adapters, page C-1

• Console Port, page C-2

• MGMT 10/100 Ethernet Port, page C-3

• Supported Power Cords and Plugs, page C-4

Caution We strongly recommend that power cable runs 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 exist but cannot be separated by at least 3.3 ft. (1 m), we recommend that you shield these potential noise sources. To avoid interference, the source should be shielded by housing it in a grounded metallic conduit.
