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 with 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. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed 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 the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Switching Module Features

Each switching module draws its power from the 42 V 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.

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 integrated 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.

Each switching module has a hardware watchdog timer to detect most component failures. The watchdog timer resets the card if it is not serviced periodically.

14/2-Port Multiprotocol Services Module

The 14/2-port Multiprotocol Services (MPS-14/2) module provides 14 1-Gbps/2-Gbps Fibre Channel autosensing ports and two 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports for iSCSI and FCIP over Gigabit Ethernet. The MPS-14/2 module supports the intelligent features available on other modules, including VSANs, security, and traffic management.

The 14 1-Gbps/2-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports (labeled 1 through 14) are best used for applications requiring high bandwidth; for example, Inter-Switch Link (ISL) connections between switches and high-performance host or storage controllers. Each Fibre Channel port supports a sustained data rate of up to 2 Gbps in each direction.

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch supports one MPS-14/2 module. The two Gigabit Ethernet ports (labeled 1 and 2) provide 1-Gbps throughput for IP services, including iSCSI and FCIP over Gigabit Ethernet. The MPS-14/2 also supports hardware-based encryption and compression for these Gigabit Ethernet ports. This hardware-based encryption handles the computationally intensive IPsec feature for IP services.

The MPS-14/2 modules support FCIP compression to maximize the effective WAN bandwidth of SAN extension solutions. It achieves up to a 30-to-1 compression ratio, with typical ratios of 2-to-1 over a wide variety of data sources. With the addition of hardware-based compression, the MPS-14/2 module is able to provide optimal levels of compressed throughput for implementations across low to high-bandwidth links.

The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the MPS-14/2 module support iSCSI protocol, FCIP protocol, or both protocols simultaneously. For information about configuring the ports, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.

The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Fibre Channel SFP transceivers, which can be short wavelength (SWL) for connectivity up to 1640 feet (500 meters), or long wavelength (LWL) for connectivity up to 6.2 miles (10 km). All interfaces are autosensing 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps compatible. The port interfaces also support coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) SFP transceivers, which can be used for extended long wavelength (ELWL) transmission or for CWDM. See the “Supported

Transceivers” section on page 1-36.

Power Supplies

The Cisco MDS 9200 Series supports dual hot-swappable 845-W 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 module. To prevent the unexpected shutdown of an optional module, power management software only allows a module to power up if adequate power is available.

The Cisco MDS 9200 Series 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 on how to configure the power supplies, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.

The power supplies, which are accessed from the rear of the chassis, are illustrated in Figure 1-24.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Fan Module

Send documentation comments to mdsfeedback-doc@cisco.com

Fan Module

The Cisco MDS 9200 Series supports a hot-swappable fan module with four fans. The fan module provides 80 cfm (cubic feet per minute) of cooling per slot, allowing 400 W of power dissipation per slot. Sensors on the supervisor module monitor the internal air temperature. If the air temperature exceeds a preset lower-level threshold, the environmental monitor displays warning messages. If the air temperature exceeds a preset higher-level threshold, the switch will shut down.

If one or more fans within the fan module fail, the Fan Status LED turns red and the module must be replaced. Individual fans cannot be replaced, you must replace the entire fan module. If the higher-level temperature threshold is not exceeded, the switch continues to run for five minutes after the fan module is removed. 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 Module” section on page 2-38. The fan module has one Status LED that indicates the following conditions:

• Green—Fan module is operating normally.

• Red—One or more fans failed. Fan module should be replaced.

• Off—Fan module is not properly seated in the chassis or power supply has failed.

Caution The Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches have 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 9000 Family switches shut down after five minutes to prevent potentially undetectable overheating. However, the switches shut down sooner if the higher-level temperature threshold is exceeded.

Supported Transceivers

The following types of transceivers are available from Cisco and are supported on the Cisco MDS 9200 Series:

• X2 Fibre Channel transceivers

• Fibre Channel SFP and SFP+ transceivers, in either SWL or LWL

• Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers, in either SWL or LWL

• Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet CWDM SFP transceivers, which can be used for

ELWL transmission or for CWDM

• Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver, 1-Gbps copper

• Fibre Channel DWDM SFP transceiver, which can be used for ELWL transmission or for DWDM

1-36

Note Switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.x, 3.x, and NX-OS 4.1(1b) support combination Fibre

Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers.

The transceivers are field-replaceable and hot-swappable. You can use any combination of SFP transceivers that are supported by the switch. 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.

CWDM Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers

All Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet ports in the Cisco MDS 9200 Series support 1-Gbps/2-Gbps CWDM SFP transceivers. In addition, the Fibre Channel ports on Cisco MDS 9222i also support 4-Gbps 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. The OADM combines the wavelengths of the different outgoing signals into one composite send signal. The OADM also separates the received transmissions into the different wavelengths and sends them to the corresponding CWDM SFP transceiver.

For more information on the CWDM SFP transceiver specifications, see the “SFP and SFP+ Transceiver

Specifications” section on page B-10.

Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers

The 4-port and 8-port IP Storage services (IPS-4 and IPS-8) modules provide four or eight 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports that support Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers. The Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers have RJ-45 connectors and support Gigabit Ethernet (1-Gbps).

For more information on the Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver specifications, see the “SFP and SFP+

Transceiver Specifications” section on page B-10.

DWDM Fibre Channel SFP Transceivers

Fibre Channel ports on Cisco MDS 9222i support 2-Gbps DWDM SFP transceivers. The Cisco DWDM Fibre Channel SFP transceivers have LC connectors and support Fibre Channel (1-Gbps/2-Gbps). The DWDM SFP transceivers match the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) 100-Ghz wavelength grid and the wavelength plan of Cisco 100-Ghz ONS product family.

The DWDM SFP transceivers have the following capabilities:

• DWDM transmission can send and receive up to 32 laser wavelengths carrying different signals

simultaneously on the same optical fiber by using an optical filter.

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

For more information on the DWDM SFP transceiver specifications, see the “SFP and SFP+ Transceiver

Installation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when installing the Cisco MDS 9200 Series:

• Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. Appendix D, “Site

Planning and Maintenance Records,” lists the recommended site planning tasks.

• Record the information listed in Appendix D, “Site Planning and Maintenance Records,” as you

install and configure the switch.

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

adequate airflow (Appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” lists airflow requirements).

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

“Technical Specifications.”

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

Installation.”

Note Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. See the “Jumper Power Cord” section on

page C-11.

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

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

• Ensure that 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 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-W

power supply requires a 15-A or 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 the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.

• Use the following screw torques when installing the switch:

–

Captive screws: 4 in-lb

OL-17468-02

–

M3 screws: 4 in-lb

–

M4 screws: 12 in-lb

–

10-32 screws: 20 in-lb

–

12-24 screws: 30 in-lb

Figure 2-15 Cisco MDS 9200 Series Installed in the Rack (Back View)

System Grounding

This section describes the need for system grounding and explains how to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.

Proper Grounding Practices

Grounding is one of the most important parts of equipment installation. Proper grounding practices ensure that the buildings and the installed equipment within them have low-impedance connections and low-voltage differentials between chassis. When you properly ground systems during installation, you reduce or prevent shock hazards, equipment damage due to transients, and data corruption. Tab l e 2- 2

OL-17468-02

lists some general grounding practice guidelines.

Table 2-2 Grounding Best Practices

Electromagnetic Noise Severity

Environment

Commercial building is subjected to direct lightning strikes.

For example, some places in the United States, such as Florida, are subject to more lightning strikes than other areas.

Commercial building is located in an area where lightning storms frequently occur but is not subject to direct lightning strikes.

Commercial building contains a mix of information technology equipment and industrial equipment, such as welding.

Existing commercial building is not subject to natural environmental noise or man-made industrial noise. This building contains a standard office environment. This installation has a history of malfunction due to electromagnetic noise.

New commercial building is not subject to natural environmental noise or man-made industrial noise. This building contains a standard office environment.

Existing commercial building is not subject to natural environmental noise or man-made industrial noise. This building contains a standard office environment.

Level Grounding Recommendations

High All lightning protection devices

must be installed in strict accordance with manufacturer recommendations. Conductors carrying lightning current should be spaced away from power and data lines in accordance with applicable recommendations and codes. Best grounding practices must be closely followed.

High Best grounding practices must

be closely followed.

Medium to high Best grounding practices must

be closely followed.

Medium Best grounding practices must

be closely followed. Determine source and cause of noise if possible, and mitigate as closely as possible at the noise source or reduce coupling from the noise source to the victim equipment.

Low Best grounding practices should

be followed as closely as possible. Electromagnetic noise problems are not anticipated, but installing a best practice grounding system in a new building is often the least expensive route and the best way to plan for the future.

Low Best grounding practices should

be followed as much as possible. Electromagnetic noise problems are not anticipated, but installing a best practice grounding system is always recommended.

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9200 Series

System Grounding

Send documentation comments to mdsfeedback-doc@cisco.com

Note In all situations, grounding practices must comply with local National Electric Code (NEC)

requirements or local laws and regulations.

Note Always ensure that all of the modules are completely installed and that the captive installation screws

are fully tightened. In addition, ensure that all I/O cables and power cords are properly seated. These practices are normal installation practices and must be followed in all installations.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly handled, results in intermittent or complete failures. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, always use an ESD grounding strap when handling modules.

Follow these guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

• Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it makes maximum contact with bare skin. ESD

grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. All MDS 9200 series chassis are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) somewhere on the front panel. Cisco recommends that you use a personal ESD grounding strap equipped with a banana plug.

• If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most FRUs or an ESD wrist strap

equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.

Note This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.

• If your chassis does not have the system ground attached, you must install the system ground lug.

See “Establishing the System Ground” section on page 2-23 for installation instructions and location of the chassis system ground pads.

Note You do not need to attach a supplemental system ground wire to the system ground lug; the lug provides

a direct path to the bare metal of the chassis.

After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:

Step 1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

OL-17468-02

a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and

unwrap the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap so that it makes good contact with your bare skin.

b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove

the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your bare skin.

Step 2 Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal

spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. Cisco recommends that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

Step 3 Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows (See Figure 2-16.):

a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws

open, position the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.

Note The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or

the lug barrel.

b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip

directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.

In addition, follow these guidelines when handling modules:

• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or

connectors.

• Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container.

If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be

between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Establishing the System Ground

This section describes how to connect a system ground to the MDS 9200 series switches.

Note This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.

You must use the system (NEBS) ground on AC-powered systems if you are installing this equipment in a U.S. or European Central Office.

The system (NEBS) ground provides additional grounding for EMI shielding requirements and grounding for the low voltage supplies (DC-DC converters) on the modules and is intended to satisfy the telcordia Technologies NEBS requirements for supplemental bonding and grounding connections. You must observe the following system grounding guidelines for your chassis:

• You must install the system (NEBS) ground connection with any other rack or system power ground

connections that you make. The system ground connection is required if this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office.

• You must connect both the system (NEBS) ground connection and the power supply ground

connection to an earth ground. The system (NEBS) ground connection is required if this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office.

• You do not need to power down the chassis because the MDS 9200 series chassis are equipped with

AC-input power supplies.

Required Tools and Equipment

To connect the ground system, you need the following tools and materials:

• Grounding lug—A two holes standard barrel lug. Supports up to 6 AWG wire. Supplied as part of

accessory kit.

• Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8mm (metric) pan-head screws. Supplied as part of the accessory kit.

• Grounding wire—Not supplied as part of accessory kit. The grounding wire should be sized

according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 AWG to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S. installations. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.

To attach the grounding lug and cable to the chassis, follow these steps:

Step 1 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 in. (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the

grounding cable.

Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding cable into the open end of the grounding lug.

Step 3 Use the crimping tool to secure the grounding cable in the grounding lug.

Step 4 Remove the adhesive label from the grounding pad on the chassis.

Step 5 Place the grounding lug against the grounding pad so that there is solid metal-to-metal contact, and insert

the two M4 screws with washers through the holes in the grounding lug and into the grounding pad.

Step 6 Ensure that the lug and cable do not interfere with other equipment.

Step 7 Prepare the other end of the grounding cable and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your

site to ensure adequate earth ground.

Starting Up the Switch

This section provides instructions for powering up the switch and verifying component installation.

Warning

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

Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing.

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. During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the switch.

Step 2 Verify that both power supplies and the fan module are installed.

Step 3 Verify that the power switches on both power supplies are off, and then plug the power cables into the

power supplies and tighten the screws on the power cable retainers to ensure the cables cannot be pulled out.

Note Depending on the outlet receptacle on your power distribution unit, you may need the optional

jumper power cord to connect the Cisco MDS 9200 Series to your outlet receptacle. See the

“Jumper Power Cord” section on page C-11.

Step 4 Connect the other end of the power cables to an AC power source.

Step 5 Ensure that the switch is adequately grounded as described in the “Installing the Switch in a Cabinet with

Insufficient Front Clearance” section on page 2-11, and that the power cables are connected to outlets

that have the required AC power voltages (see the “Weight of Modules” section on page B-3).

Step 6 Flip the power switches on the power supplies to the on (|) position. The switch boots automatically.

Step 7 Listen for the fans; they should begin operating when the switch is powered on.

Caution Do not operate the switch without a functioning fan module except for during the brief fan

module replacement procedure. Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches can operate for only a few minutes without any functioning fan modules before they begin to overheat.

Step 8 After the switch boots, verify that the LED behavior is as follows:

• Fan module: Status LED is green.

• Power supplies:

–

Input Ok LED is green.

–

Fan Ok LED is green.

–

Output Fail LED is off.

• Supervisor, switching, or services modules:

–

During initialization, the status LED on the module flashes orange once, remains orange during diagnostic boot tests, then turns green when the module is operational (online). If the system software is unable to start up, this LED remains orange or turns red.

–

After initialization, the status LED is green, indicating that all chassis environmental monitors are reporting that the system is operational. If this LED is orange or red, then one or more environmental monitor is reporting a problem.

• The Link LEDs for the Ethernet port should not be on unless the cable is connected.

Note The link LEDs for the Fibre Channel ports remain yellow until the ports are enabled, and the

LED for the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port remains off until the port is connected.

CHAP T ER

Connecting the Cisco MDS 9200 Series

The Cisco MDS 9200 Series 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 Cisco 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.

• Other port types provided by the optional module, if installed, such as the iSCSI and/or FCIP over

Gigabit Ethernet ports on the 4-port or 8-port IPS modules.

Caution When running power and data cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, Cisco strongly recommends

that power cables and other potential noise sources must 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), Cisco recommends shielding any potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit.

Preparing for Network Connections

When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco MDS 9200 Series, 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.) The console port is an asynchronous (async) serial port; any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission.

Cisco recommends using this port to create a local management connection to set the IP address and other initial configuration settings before connecting the switch to the network for the first time.

Caution The console port can be used to connect to a modem, however, Cisco recommends using the COM1 port

for this purpose. If you decide to connect the console port to a modem, do not connect it while the switch is booting; connect either before powering the switch on or after the switch has completed the boot process.

Figure 3-1 Connecting to the Console Port on the Cisco MDS 9200 Series

You can use the console port to perform the following:

• Configure the Cisco MDS 9200 Series from the CLI.

• Monitor network statistics and errors.

• Configure SNMP agent parameters.

• Download software updates.

Connecting to the Console Port

Send documentation comments to mdsfeedback-doc@cisco.com

Note To connect the console port to a computer terminal, the computer must support VT100 terminal

emulation. The terminal emulation software—frequently an application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the Cisco MDS 9200 Series and a computer possible during setup and configuration.

To connect the console port to a computer terminal, follow these steps:

Step 1 Configure the terminal emulator program to match the following default port characteristics: 9600 baud,

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

Step 2 Connect the supplied RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter or RJ-45 to DB-25 female adapter (depending on

your computer serial port) to the computer serial port. Cisco recommends using the adapter and cable provided with the switch.

Step 3 Connect the console cable (a rollover RJ-45 to RJ-45 cable) to the console port (see Figure 3-1) and to

the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter or RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter at the computer serial port.

Note For configuration instructions, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the

Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.

Connecting to the COM1 Port

Note The COM1 port is not supported for connection to a console.

The COM1 port (labeled COM1) is an RS-232 port with a DB-9 interface. (See Figure 3-2.) You can use this port to connect to an external serial communication device such as a modem. For information about how to turn off hardware flow control, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.

Figure 3-2 Connecting to the COM1 Port on the Cisco MDS 9200 Series

To connect the COM1 port to a modem, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the DB-9 serial adapter to the COM1 port.

Note Connect the modem to the COM1 port using the adapters and cables provided with the accessory

kit.

Step 2 Connect the RJ-45 to DB-25 modem adapter to the modem.

Step 3 Connect these two adapters using the RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable (or equivalent crossover cable).

Step 4 If the default settings for the COM1 port were modified, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI

Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide for information on this feature.
