Cabling guidelines
After modifying the FC SAN Module’s IP address, we recommend that you cable all external ports to fabric
connections before bringing the FC SAN Module online. Refer to
steps on modifying the IP address.
Begin by cabling ports 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 0. Ports 17 and 18 are licensed at the factory by default. By
cabling these ports first, you will not need to move licenses to other ports you may have cabled.
“Configuring the FC SAN Module” on page 4 for
Configuring the FC SAN Module
Use procedures in this section to configure the FC SAN Module to operate on a network and fabric. Also provided are
steps to activate additional ports and connecting to the FC SAN Module via CLI.
This publication provides procedures that use FC SAN Module Command Line Interface (CLI). For details, refer to the
Dell 8/4Gbps FC SAN Module Administrator’s Guide. If the same operation can be performed using the Blade Server
chassis management application, use that application instead.
Items required

• Blade Server Enclosure CMC graphical user interface (GUI).
Do not connect the FC SAN Module to the internal network until the IP address is correctly set for your Ethernet
network requirements.
It is recommended that you set the IP address using the Blade Server Enclosure CMC GUI application because this
enables centralized management of the FC SAN Module.
Using the FC SAN Module CLI to set the IP address
Use the following tasks to change the IP address on the FC SAN Module using the Module’s CLI:
Task 1: Establish a terminal session with the FC SAN Module
Use these steps to establish a terminal emulation session between the FC SAN Module and a Blade Server
Enclosure management workstation used for managing the FC SAN Module. Once this session is established, you
can log into the Module and use its CLI commands to manage the module.
1. Connect a serial cable between the serial console port on the FC SAN Module and a Blade Server Enclosure
management workstation that can establish a terminal emulation session with the FC SAN Module. For
instructions, refer to Configuration Guide for your Blade Server Enclosure.
2. Disable any serial communication programs that are running on the workstation.
3. Using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC or TERM in a LINUX or UNIX environment),
establish a terminal session to the FC SAN Module from the management workstation. You will use this
connection if you want to reset the module’s IP address using CLI commands and perform other configuration
tasks.
For Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP or NT

Activating Additional Ports
Port upgrade licensing allows you to enable up to 24 ports from the initial 12 ports. Add port upgrade using a Telnet
connection; do not use the Blade Server Enclosure CMC software.
Additional ports can be unlocked in the FC SAN Module firmware when an upgrade license key is provided. Port
upgrade licenses are available from Dell.
Once you have installed the license keys, you must enable the ports. You can do so without disrupting FC SAN
Module operation, or alternatively, you can disable and re-enable the FC SAN Module to activate all ports.
If you remove a port upgrade license, ports that were enabled by that license are disabled.
Activating ports with a port upgrade license
You can activate ports with a port upgrade license while the FC SAN Module is connected to existing SANs or before
connecting to an existing SAN.
For FC SAN Modules already connected to existing storage networks:
1. Add the port upgrade license using the CLI.
2. Enable each newly licensed port using the CLI.
This method is non-disruptive to existing servers and storage connecting to FC SAN Module.
For new FC SAN Module installations, perform the following before connecting to an existing SAN:
Do not use this method if the FC SAN Module is operating in an existing SAN because traffic will be disrupted.
1. Disable the FC SAN Module.
2. Add the port upgrade license using the CLI.
3. Enable the FC SAN Module using the CLI. When the FC SAN Module is enabled, the newly-added ports are also
enabled.
