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.

Cisco MDS 9513 Director

The Cisco MDS 9513 Director is a 13-slot Fibre Channel switch. The front panel consists of 13 horizontal slots, where slots 1 to 6 and slots 9 to 13 are reserved for switching and services modules only, and slots 7 and 8 are for Supervisor-2 modules only. A variable speed fan tray, with 15 individual fans, is located on the front left panel of the chassis.

The Cisco MDS 9513 Director uses a midplane. Modules exist on both sides of the plane. (See

Figure 1-1.) The Cisco MDS 9513 Director supports the following:

• Two Supervisor-2 modules that reside in slots 7 and 8.

• Switching and storage services modules. (See the “Port Index Availability” section on page 1-28 for

possible configurations.)

• One hot-swappable front panel fan tray with redundant individual fans.

• Two power supplies located at the rear of the chassis. The power supplies are redundant by default

and can be configured to be combined if desired.

• Two crossbar modules located at the rear of the chassis.

• One hot-swappable fan module for the crossbar modules located at the rear of the chassis.

• Two hot-swappable clock modules located at the rear of the chassis.

Note The Cisco MDS 9513 Director does not support the Advanced Services Module (ASM) or the Caching

Services Module (CSM).

Backplane and Clock Modules

The Cisco MDS 9500 Series includes one or more clock modules that are accessible from the back of the chassis. The Cisco MDS 9513 and 9509 Directors have two field-replaceable clock modules for redundancy and failover. The Cisco MDS 9506 Director has one field-replaceable clock module. In the unlikely event of a clock module failure, the Cisco MDS 9500 Series generates an error message and a switchover from one clock module to the other, causing the system to reset automatically. Cisco recommends that the failed clock module be replaced during a maintenance window. See the

and Installing Clock Modules” section on page 2-76 for information on replacing clock modules.

There are two LEDs per clock module. Figure 1-5 shows the upper and lower LEDs.
