Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes
The Brocade 6545 16 Gbps FC Switch Module can function in either Fabric OS Native mode or
Brocade Access Gateway mode. The features available on the Switch Module depend on the mode
that has been configured. The Switch Module is shipped in Fabric OS Native mode by default.
Access Gateway mode simplifies SAN deployment by using NPIV t
Channel switch functions that improve Switch Module scalability, manageability, and
interoperability. For more information on Access Gateway, refer to the following:
• For a list of Switch Module F_Ports mapped to N_Ports in the Switch Module as shipped from
the factory, refer to “Access Gateway mode default port mapping” on
• Because Access Gateway relies on NPIV technology for its connection to the edge fabric, you
may have to prepare the edge fabric before connecting it to Access Gateway.
• For general information and details on using Access Gateway, refer to the Brocade Access
Gateway Administrator’s Guide.
When the switch is in Access Gateway mode it can only be directly connected to storage array if

Installation and safety considerations
This section discusses the following topics:
• “Installing multiple Switch Modules”
• “System reliability guidelines”
• “Handling static-sensitive devices”
• “Electrical considerations”
• “Environmental considerations”
Installing multiple Switch Modules
Each Brocade 6545 16 Gbps FC Switch Module must be assigned a unique Ethernet IP address
during configuration. After the default Ethernet IP address on the Switch Module has been
changed, you can install additional Switch Modules in the PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or BX400 Blade
Servers.
If you do not have a DHCP server, install and configure one Switch Module at a time t
IP address conflicts do not occur from duplicate Ethernet IP addresses.

o ensure that
System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make sure the following
requirements are met:
• Each of the I/O module bays at the rear of the Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or BX400 Blade
Server contains either a switch or a filler blade.
• A removed hot-swappable Switch Module should be replaced with an identical Switch Module
or filler blade within 60 seconds of removal.
• The ventilation areas on the sides of the Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or BX400 Blade Server
power modules and blowers are not blocked.
• You have followed the reliability guidelines in the documentation that comes with your Fujitsu
PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or BX400 Blade Server.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep
static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
12 Brocade 6545 Gen5 16-Gbps FC Switch Module Hardware Reference Guide
53-1003184-01
Page 25
Preparing the Blade Server for the Switch Module
2
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
• Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
• While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal surface
of the chassis or an unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in the
rack in which you are installing the device for at least two seconds. This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.
• Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the chassis without setting down
the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective
package. Do not place the device on the chassis or on a metal surface.
• Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor
humidity and increases static electricity.
• Some types of chassis come with electrostatic discharge (ESD) connectors. If the chassis is
equipped with an ESD connector, refer to the documentation that comes with the chassis for
using the ESD connector.
Electrical considerations
The Brocade 6545 16 Gbps FC Switch Module requires 52 watts nominal (maximum of 68 watts),
which is provided by the Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or BX400 Blade Server. No other power
requirement or provision exists.
Environmental considerations
Ensure proper cooling and ventilation by verifying the following:
• Air vents on the Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or BX400 Blade Server are not blocked or
restricted.
• Ambient air temperature at the front of the enclosure does not exceed 35º C (95º F) while the
Switch Module is operating.
Preparing the Blade Server for the Switch Module
Before the Brocade 6545 16 Gbps FC Switch Module can be inserted in the Fujitsu PRIMERGY
BX900 S2 or BX400 Blade Server, make sure the following conditions are met:
• The Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or BX400 Blade Server is powered up.
• The I/O module bay into which the Brocade 6545 16 Gbps FC Switch Module will be inserted is
empty and ready to receive the Switch Module.
• All power requirements specific to the Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or Fujitsu PRIMERGY
BX400 Blade Server are met.
• If you are replacing an existing Switch Module with a new one, the new one should be ready to
be inserted within one minute from removal of the old one to maintain the proper cooling level
in the chassis.

Installation and safety considerations when handling transceivers
and cables
This section discusses the following topics:
• “Fiber-optic connector cleaning”
• “Handling SFP+ optical transceivers”
• “Cabling guidelines for fiber-optic cables”
Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. and
comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter
I, and with IEC 825-2. Optical products that do not comply with these standards might emit light
that is hazardous to the eyes.
Fiber-optic connector cleaning
2
To avoid problems with the connection between the SFP and SFP+ transceivers and the fiber cable
connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and
reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as
reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber-optic cable connectors, Brocade recommends using
cleaner. You can purchase this type of cleaner from the following website.
http://www.fisfiber.com/
When you are not using an SFP+ optical transceiver,
make sure to use the protective covering.

Handling SFP+ optical transceivers
Before installing an SFP+ optical transceiver, be aware of the following:
• The housing on the SFP+ optical transceiver includes an integral guide key that is designed to
prevent you from inserting the transceiver incorrectly.
• Use minimal pressure when you insert an SFP+ optical transceiver in the port. Forcing the
transceiver into the port can cause damage to the transceiver or the Switch Module port.
• You can insert or remove an SFP+ optical transceiver while the Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or
BX400 Blade Server is powered on.
• You must first insert the SFP+ optical transceiver in the port before connecting the cables.
• You must remove the cable from the SFP+ optical transceiver before you remove the SFP+
optical transceiver from the Switch Module.

Cabling guidelines for fiber-optic cables
After modifying the Brocade 6545 16 Gbps FC Switch Module IP address and domain name (if the
Switch Module is in Fabric OS Native mode), it is recommended that you cable all external ports to
fabric connections before bringing the Switch Module online. Refer to Chapter 3, “Configuring the
Brocade 6545 16 Gbps FC Switch Module” for steps on modifying the IP address.
Begin by cabling ports 19 through 25 and 0. Ports 19

• Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.
• When you attach the cable to a device on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cable so that it
does not bend to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.) when the device is extended, or
becomes pinched when the device is retracted.
• Route the cable away from places where it can be snagged by other devices in the rack.
• Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.).

NOTE
• Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened.
• Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Make sure the cable is well
supported.
A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 1.5 inches (38 mm) under full tensile
load and 1.2 inches (30.5 mm) with no tensile load.
Inserting SFP+ optical transceivers and cables

Backing up the configuration
Always keep a backup copy of your configuration files, so you can restore the configuration in the
event the configuration is lost or you make unintentional changes. It is recommended that you back
up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for
downloading to a replacement Switch Module.

The following recommendations apply:
• Keep backup copies of the startup configuration for all switches in the fabric.
• Upload the configuration backup copies to an external host or to an attached Brocade-branded
USB device.
• Avoid copying configuration files from one switch to another. Instead restore the switch
configuration files from the backup copy.

Port negotiation
4
Port negotiation
Eight external Gbps ports support 4-, 8- and 16-Gbps transmit and receive rates with
autonegotiation. You can also install 8- and 16-Gbps SFP+ optical transceivers, which allow
respective transmit and receive rates with autonegotiation. The actual data signaling rate used on
a port is automatically sensed and set to the rate supported by the device or devices attached to
the port.
If the Switch Module is connected to a device, but u
manually set the speed of each port through the management interface.
The Switch Module is compliant with current Fibre Chan
current-generation switch N_Ports, F_Ports, and E_Ports, as well as host adapters, Redundant
Array of Independent Disks (RAID) storage devices, hubs, Fibre-SCSI bridge devices, and older
switch families.
Operating system support
Brocade Fabric OS has no specific host OS dependencies. The Fabric OS in the switches allows for
any Fibre Channel-compliant device to attach to switches as long as it conforms to the standards
for device login, name service, and related Fibre Channel features.
For more information regarding supported operating systems
comes with your Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 S2 or BX400 blade server.
Accessing the Switch Module
The Brocade 6545 16 Gbps FC Switch Module is managed as a single element. It has a single
IP address and appears as a separate entity to the Te
Management Protocol (SNMP).
When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running SAN management
soft
ware, the information is stored in a Management Information Base (MIB). The Brocade 6545
16 Gbps FC Switch Module with Fabric OS 7.2.0 and later supports the FibreAlliance Fibre Channel
Management (FCMGMT) MIBs, allowing the provision of needed information to a SAN
administrator.

In addition, the Brocade Fabric Access Layer (API) and the
provide facilities for the discovery and management of physical and logical elements in a SAN.
Using the Fabric Access interface to the Fabric OS, a client application can retrieve information and
modify the configuration of Brocade switches in the fabric.
Secure Telnet access is available using Secure Shell (SSH),
remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network.
Brocade Web Tools management is available through a secure br
(SSL). The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity,
and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into all major
browsers and Web servers, installing a digital certificate enables the SSL capabilities.
