Introduction

System Components

The motherboard is enclosed in an air-cooled chassis which may be either mounted in a standard rack or used as a standalone unit. The chassis includes an RJ-45 Ethernet connection for switch set up and management.

Fabric Operating System

GBICs

SWL Fiber-Optic GBIC

Module

LWL Fiber-Optic GBIC

Module

Included with the switch is a fabric operating system tuned for each installation. The system provides a large number of commands and libraries to manage real time tasks. See the Departmental Switch Model DS-8B or DS-16B Fabric OS Reference Manual for details about software features.

The switch accommodates up to sixteen GBIC modules. All interfaces have status lights visible from the front panel giving a quick, visual check of the switch port’s status and activity.

GBIC modules supported are the short wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength (LWL) fiber-optics.

If your installation requires installing less than sixteen GBIC modules, the unused port positions are protected by a metal, spring-loaded door.

The SWL fiber-optic GBIC module, with an SC connector color-coded black, is based on shortwave length 850 Gbps link speeds. This GBIC module supports 50-micron, multi-mode fiber-optic cables up to 500 meters in length. The SWL GBIC module uses a Class 1 laser, which complies with the 21 CFR, subpart (J) as of the date of manufacture.

The LWL fiber-optic GBIC module, with SC connector color-coded blue, is based on long wavelength 1300 Gbps link speeds. This GBIC module supports 9-micron single-mode fiber-optic cables up to 10 kilometers in length with a maximum of five splices.

Cooling Requirements

Power Requirements

Cooling air is drawn into the chassis by four fans mounted near the rear of the chassis, venting exhausted air through the front of the switch.

Do not block the front or rear air vents. The switch must have free access to ambient air for cooling.

Switch power connection is via switched connectors on the switch’s front panel, as shown in Figure 2-1. The switch power requirements are:

• Properly wired, earth-grounded outlet

• Input voltage: 85 – 265 VAC

• Total power: Up to 155 watts (depending on configuration, see

Appendix A, Specifications)

• Input line frequency: Nominally 47 to 63 Hz

The switch has an autoranging power supply that automatically accepts voltages and line frequencies within its range. A green power on indicator light is above the power switch.

Power Supply 2 Power Supply 1

Figure 2-1 Model DS-16B with Two Power Supplies

The switch meets IEC 801-5 surge voltage requirements, however, there is no other provision for surge protection built into the switch’s power supplies. An installation should include normal provisions to assure clean power.

Site Considerations

Installation

Installation Considerations

The switch has optional mounting hardware to mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack. If the switch has had its rubber mounting feet installed, they may need to be removed for a rack installation.

Standalone

Fiber Channel Cable Connections

Table 2-1 Cabling Connections

The switch is shipped in its standalone configuration. Adhesive rubber feet are supplied if the switch is surface mounted. Rubber feet installation is required for proper or safe switch operation.

To install the adhesive rubber feet:

1. Clean the four depressions at each corner of the chassis bottom so that they are free of dust.

2. Remove the rubber feet from the sheet and place one in each depression.

3. Firmly press the rubber feet in place.

All network cable connections are to the switch’s front panel. All recommended cabling supports the switch’s 1.0625-Gbps transfer rate, as shown in Table 2-1.

Fiber cable connections are made to the switch’s front panel using standard dual SC plug connectors as shown in Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2 Dual SC Fiber Optic Plug connector

The connectors are keyed and must be inserted into the GBIC module’s connector in proper alignment. In most cases, one of the two connector plugs is a different color to aid in proper connector alignment.

Remove the protective plug from the GBIC. Do not force the fiber optic plug into the GBIC module as you may damage the connector, the GBIC module, or both. Make certain the fiber surface is clean, free of dust or debris, before inserting the connector into GBIC module.

Installation

Ethernet Connection

Verif y Power-On Self Test (POST)

Connecting an existing Ethernet 10/100BaseT LAN to the switch via the front panel RJ-45 connector gives access to the switch’s internal SNMP agent and also allows remote Telnet and Web access for remote monitoring and testing.

The connection is only for Telnet, SNMP agent and the Web-based Server access. No Fabric connection is used via this connection.

When the switch is powered on it automatically runs the POST. From the front panel the indications of a normal POST include a pause, a momentary flashing of the lights, followed by a series of diagnostics tests. See Power-On Diagnostics (POST) on page 4-5 for more information.

Resource Allocation Time Out Value (R_A_TOV) is adjustable in 1-second increments using front panel controls, but its value is displayed in milliseconds. This variable works with the variable E_D_TOV to determine the switch’s actions when presented with an error condition. Allocated circuit resources with detected errors are not released until the time value has expired. If the condition is resolved prior to the timing out, the internal time out clock resets and waits for the next error condition.

This section gives a diagnostic overview and discusses:

• Diagnostic Overview

• Status and Activity Indicators

• Diagnostic Tests

See Appendix C, Error Messages, for the actual error message descriptions.

Diagnostic Overview

The switch is designed for maintenance free operation. When there is a suspected failure, the switch has self diagnostic capabilities to aid in isolating any equipment or Fabric failures.

The switch supports Power-On Self-Tests (POSTs) and diagnostic tests. The diagnostic tests determine the switch’s status and isolate problems.

Telnet commands are used to determine the switch’s status, error conditions, and switch operating statistics.

You perform diagnostics using either the switch’s front panel controls or commands via a Telnet session. The front panel and Telnet diagnostics overlap in function but are mutually exclusive. You can, for example, start a diagnostic from Telnet, and monitor the results using both the front panel display and via Telnet.

If a test is started using the front panel, you can monitor the test progress, but cannot control the test through Telnet. If you start a test using Telnet, attempting to control the test via the front panel may lock up the switch and require a reboot.

The actual tests performed by the front panel and via a Telnet are identical. Because the front panel displays a two line limit, more detailed test results can be displayed via Telnet.

Figure 4-1 LED Indicators

Isolating a System Fault

If you suspect a switch or a Fibre Channel port failure, a visual check of the color LED Indicators, shown in Figure 4-1, determines the status of each port. See Status and Activity Indicators on page 4-4 for additional information

LED Indicators

Power Indicator LED

Various loopback paths are built into the switch hardware for diagnostic purposes. A loopback path test within the switch verifies the proper internal Fibre Channel port logic functions and the paths between the interfaces and central memory.

The switch’s diagnostics also support external loops which include GBIC modules in cross port configurations. These port-to-port diagnostics allow checking installed fiber cables and port fault isolation.

Initialization Steps

4-4

Departmental Switch Model DS-16B Hardware Reference Manual

At power-on or reset, the following steps are executed:

1. Preliminary POST diagnostics

2. VxWorks operating system initialization

3. Hardware initialization (resets, internal addresses assigned to ASICs, serial port initialized, front panel initialized)

4. Full POST

5. Link initialization; receiver/transmitter negotiation to bring connected ports online

6. Fabric analysis; the switch checks for ports connected to other Fabric elements. If there are other Fabric elements connected, it identifies the master switch.

Front Panel Diagnostics

7. Address assignment; after the master switch is identified, port addresses may be assigned. Each switch tries to keep the same addresses that were previously used. These are stored in the switch’s configuration flash PROM.

8. Routing table construction; after addresses are assigned, the unicast routing tables are constructed.

9. Enable normal port operation.

Power-On Diagnostics (POST)

The following table lists the diagnostic tests automatically run during POST. POST behaves differently depending on the boot method. A power cycle (power off & power on) is considered a cold boot. All other boots from a powered-on state (per reboot, panic, etc.) are considered warm boots.

POST execution per cold boot executes the long version of ramTest. POST execution per warm boot executes a shorter version of ramTest. Boot time with POST varies depending on the boot method.

A switch rebooted with POST disabled will generate the DIAG-POST_SKIPPED error log message.

If a error is detected during POST, it is written to the system error log and is available for analysis via Telnet.

If the error prohibits the switch from completing the boot process (fatal error), the switch stops the boot process and displays the error on the switch’s front panel display.

If the error occurred in the POST processing before the switch is able to display the boot failure cause, the switch’s front panel power on indicator flashes (instead of its normal steady light) indicating the switch failed the boot process and is not operating.

A switch boot failure indicates the switch must be taken offline to be repaired or replaced. Contact your service representative as described in Appendix B, Switch Support.

Port Loopback Test The portLoopbackTest verifies the intended functional operation of

the switch by sending frames from each port’s transmitter back to the same port’s receiver via an internal hardware loopback.

Pressing <Enter> while

Port Loopback Test is selected displays a

reminder to take the switch offline, if it is not offline. If the message is displayed, take the switch offline.

Port Loopback Test is an internal test which continues to run

The until you press any button. While the test is running, all GBIC module front panel LEDs rapidly flicker green indicating that the test is finding no errors and is processing.

To stop the test, press any button,

Aborted is displayed:

Port Loopback Test: Aborted

Cross Port Test The crossPortTest verifies the intended functional operation of the

switch by sending frames from each port’s transmitter via the GBIC and external cable and back to another port’s receiver. It exercises the entire path of the switch.

Figure 4-2 is a recommended connection when executing the crossPortTest. The cables need not be connected as such. A port can be connected to any port in the same switch provided the connection is of the same technology; meaning SW ports must connect to SW ports and LW ports to LW ports.

All ports on the switch must be connected or else the switch shows an error condition. When running the cross port test, you must set the operating mode value to 0 or 1. Modes 2 and 3 do not send out the ELP used to discover switches. If the ELP is not sent, the switch does not know the port is connected to another port on the same switch and the test fails.

If an error is encountered during the test, the error is displayed on either the front panel display or during the Telnet session.

Spin Silk Test The spinSilk test verifies the intended functional operation of the

switch by sending frames from each port’s transmitter via the GBIC and external cable, and back to another port’s receiver at the full hardware speed of 1Gb/s. It exercises the entire path of the switch. The switch must be offline.

Because the CPU is not comparing data on each frame as with the other two frame tests, the

DIAG-DATA error is never reported during

spin silk. However, the other error messages defined for

crossPortTest and their corresponding probable causes and actions

are applicable to the spin silk test.

Pressing <Enter> while Spin Silk Test is selected displays a reminder to take the switch offline, if it is not offline. If the message is displayed, take the switch offline.

Pressing <Enter> starts the Spin Silk Test and displays:

SpinSilk: Press any button to terminate

If an error is encountered during the test, the error is displayed on either the front panel display or via Telnet.

When running the Spin Silk Test, you must set the operating mode value to 0 or 1. Modes 2 and 3 do not send out the ELP used to discover switches. If the ELP is not sent, the switch does not know the port is connected to another port on the same switch and the test fails.

Error Message Formats

There are two error message formats depending on whether you are gathering information from the front panel or via Telnet. The front panel shows an abbreviated message and via Telnet displays the entire error message.

In all cases, the last error encountered is the first error displayed. Up to 32 messages are held in a buffer. If the 32 message limit is exceeded, the messages are overwritten in a first in, first out sequence.

Error messages are stored in volatile RAM and are lost whenever power is removed from the switch. Access the error message log to view error messages before removing power.

Front Panel Message Formats

The switch’s front panel displays error messages, as shown:

Feb 12 08:48:29 DIAG-REGERR_UNRST-1

The first line includes the error’s date and time. The beginning of each second line on the front panel display starts with the module name (Diag), error name (REGERR_UNRST), and the severity level (1).

The possible values are:

• 1-critical

• 2-error

• 3-warning

• 4-informational

• 5-debug

If the same error occurs within the same module (for example, DIAG-REGERR_UNRST) but on different ports, the number of occurrences for that message is incremented in brackets (up to 999), and the error number is not incremented (that is, this error, though it may occur 999 times, occupies one message in the 32-message buffer.
