DANGER
To
prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with
different protective ground (earth), use one hand, when possible,
to connect or disconnect signal cables. (D001)
Page 18
DANGER
Overloading
a branch circuit is potentially a fire hazard and a
shock hazard under certain conditions. To avoid these hazards,
ensure that your system electrical requirements do not exceed
branch circuit protection requirements. Refer to the information
that is provided with your device or the power rating label for
electrical specifications. (D002)
DANGER
If
the receptacle has a metal shell, do not touch the shell until
you have completed the voltage and grounding checks. Improper
wiring or grounding could place dangerous voltage on the metal
shell. If any of the conditions are not as described, STOP. Ensure
the improper voltage or impedance conditions are corrected
before proceeding. (D003)
DANGER
An
electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place
hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices
that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer
to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to
prevent an electrical shock. (D004)
A general electrical danger notice provides instructions on how to avoid shock
hazards when servicing equipment. Unless instructed otherwise, follow the
procedures in the following danger notice.

Management ports
An RJ-45 serial port (2 in Figure 1 on page 4) and a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port
(3 ) are included on the router for management purposes. The serial connector is
for initial IP address configuration and for recovery of the router to its factory default
settings should Flash memory contents be lost. It is not intended for normal
administration or maintenance functions. An RJ-45 serial cable is provided with the
router for management through this serial connection. An RJ-45 to DB9 adaptor is
also provided with the cable.
An Ethernet cable can be used to connect the Ethernet port directly to a
management workstation or to an Ethernet network that includes the management
workstation. There are two LEDs on the Ethernet management port. One LED
indicates link status, and the other indicates the speed (10 Mb/sec or 100 Mb/sec).
See “LEDs on the port side of the router” on page 30 for more details on these
LEDs. The TCP/IP address for the Ethernet management port can be configured
from the serial port or directly from the Ethernet port itself.
Fibre Channel ports
|
|
|
The standard router has two physical Fibre Channel ports (4 in Figure 1 on page
4), numbered 0 and 1, that are enabled in this model. The next 14 physical ports
(2-15) can be enabled with an upgrade license. An LED next to the port number
indicates the port status. See “LEDs on the port side of the router” on page 30 for
more details on these LEDs. The ports support Fibre Channel Routing services with
link speeds up to 1-, 2-, or 4-Gbps. The ports are able to auto-negotiate to the
maximum link speed. A number of different small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
optical transceivers are compatible with these ports. Contact your IBM
representative for more information on SFPs for this product.
Ethernet ports
Two GbE ports (5 in Figure 1 on page 4) numbered GE0 and GE1 support the
FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services features with link speeds up to 50 Mbps
|
|
(up to 1 Gbps with upgrade license). Each GbE port can each support one FCIP
tunnel (eight with upgrade license). Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed
as an Fibre Channel E_Port. Fibre Channel Routing Services functionality can be
used over the FCIP link. Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are
configured as VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If
VE_Ports are used in an Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric
configuration, then the backbone fabric merges but the EX_Port attached to edge
fabrics do not merge. For more information see the Fabric OS Administrator’s
Guide .
System status and power LEDs
Two LEDs (6 in Figure 1 on page 4) display an indication of the overall status of
the product. The System Status LED (the top LED) provides information on the
current status of the router. The System Power LED (the lower LED) indicates
whether the product is on, and the status of the power supplies. See “LEDs on the
port side of the router” on page 30 for more details on these LEDs.
IP address, WWN pull-out tab
The pull-out tab (7 in Figure 1 on page 4) provides a space to record the router
IP address after you change it from the factory default. See “Setting the router IP
address” on page 20 for instructions on setting the IP address. The tab also
contains the world wide name (WWN) of the router and its serial number.
Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN04B-R 5
Page 34
Nonport side of the router
The nonport side of the router (see Figure 2) includes two hot-pluggable power
supplies (3 and 7 ). The power supplies are dual redundant, and each has a
power cord receptacle, a power switch, and a status LED. Each power supply is
secured with a captive screw and each has a handle to assist in removal and
replacement procedures. Three cooling fan assemblies 4 , 5 , and 6 are also
located on the nonport side. Each fan assembly contains two fans, and a fan status
LED near the handle. Each fan assembly is secured with a captive screw and each
has a handle to assist in removal and replacement procedures.

the following steps:
v Set the internet protocol (IP) address.
v Verify that the default IP address does not conflict with the existing IP
addresses in the same network.
Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the router 17
Page 46
Cabling and setting up the router
You must configure the router before it can operate within a network and fabric.
This section provides the basic steps required for the initial setup of the router. For
instructions on configuring the router to operate in a network containing switches
from other vendors, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide .
For more information about the commands used in these procedures, refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference .
Planning for cable management
Attention: The minimum bend radius for Cat5 and Cat6 copper cables and 50
micron cable is 51 mm (2 in.) under full tensile load and 30.5 mm (1.2 in.) with no
tensile load. Because they can be easily overtightened, tie wraps are not
recommended for use with optical cables.
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways: for example, using
cable channels on the sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable
management. A list of recommendations follows:
v Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the router.
v Leave at least 1 meter (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room
to remove and replace the router, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack,
and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend
radius.
v For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to
which they are connected.
v Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
v Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables, because wraps can be easily
overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.
Items required for setup
The following items are required for configuring and connecting the router for use in
a network and fabric:
v The router, installed and connected to a power source
v Workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal
v Available IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address
v Serial cable (provided)
v SFP transceivers and compatible fiber cables, as required
v Access to an FTP server for backing up or downloading the router configuration
Setting up the router
Follow the steps described in the next sections to set up your router.

correctly set.
Providing power to the router
DANGER
An
electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place
hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices
that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer
to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to
prevent an electrical shock. (D004)
Follow these steps to provide power to the router.
1. Connect the power cords to the receptacles on the two power supplies on the
back of the router.
Attention: Ensure that the power cables are routed so that they are not
pinched or exposed to stress when the router is moved on the slide-rails.
Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 15 cm (6 in.) available at
the connection to the router.
2. Connect the other end of the power cords to the two power sources.
Attention: To protect against AC failure, connect the power cords to outlets on
separate circuits.
3. Press the "| ” area of the power switch. The power supply LEDs display amber,
and the router begins running the power on self-test (POST). The router
requires one to three minutes to boot and complete the POST process. The
LED will then change to green.
Power is supplied to the router as soon as the first power supply is
Note:
connected and turned on.
Attention: All ports on the router are by default, persistently disabled to avoid
unintentional merging of fabrics. Before you can successfully configure FCIP
tunnels, you must enable the ports. When the blade is first powered up, all port
status LEDs will flash amber. This is normal. Use the portCfgShow command
to view the status of the ports. Use the portCfgPersistentEnable command to
enable a port. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS
Command Reference for more information on these commands.
4. After POST is complete, verify that the System Status and Power Status LEDs
(see 6 in Figure 1 on page 4) display steady green.
For more information about the LEDs and their status during POST, refer to
“Interpreting LED activity” on page 30.
Creating a serial connection
You will perform all basic configuration tasks in this guide using a serial connection.
To create a serial connection to the switch, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the plug from the serial port and insert the serial cable provided with
the router.
Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the router 19
Page 48
2. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial
port on the workstation.
the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the
If
adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector
into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
3. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation.
4. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or
TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX® environment), and configure the application as
follows:
v In a Windows ® environment:
Bits per second 9600
Databits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
v In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
Connecting to the router using the serial connection
Perform the following steps to log in to the router through the serial connection.
1. Verify that the router has completed POST. When POST is complete, the port
status and power and status LEDs return to a standard healthy state; for
information about LED patterns, see “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30.
2. When the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press Enter
to display the login prompt.
3. Log in to the router as admin , using the default password: password . Yo u will
be prompted to change the default passwords at initial login.
Setting the router IP address
Perform the following steps to replace the default IP address and related
information.
1. Enter the ipAddrSet command at the terminal emulator application prompt, and
enter the requested information at the prompts:
switch:admin> ipaddrset
Ethernet IP Address [10.77.77.77]:10.32.53.47

Creating an Ethernet connection and logging in
Create an Ethernet connection to the router by completing the following steps:
1. Remove the plug from the Ethernet port (see 3 in Figure 1 on page 4
2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
3. Connect the other end to the workstation (or to an Ethernet network containing
the workstation).
The router can now be accessed remotely using command line or Web Tools.
Ensure that the router is not being modified from any other connections during
the configuration process.
Setting the router domain ID
Perform the following steps to set the router domain ID.
1. Log on to the router through Telnet, using the admin account.
2. Modify the domain ID if required.
The default domain ID is 1. If the router is not powered on until after it is
connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain
ID for the new router is automatically reset to a unique value. If the router is
connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID
is already in use, the fabric will segment. To find the domain IDs that are
currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another router in the fabric.
a. Disable the router by entering the switchDisable command.
b. Enter the configure command. The command prompts will display
sequentially; enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value.
c. Enter y after the "Fabric param" prompt:
Fabric param (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
d. Enter a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous
router, if still available):
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
e. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl-D to accept the remaining
settings without completing all the prompts.
f. Re-enable the router by entering the switchEnable command.
Each switch in the fabric must have a unique domain ID. The default domain ID is
1. If the router is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the
default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new router is
automatically reset to a unique value. If the router is connected to the fabric after it
has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric will
segment. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow
command on another router in the fabric.
Installing SFP transceivers
Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports, as required. The ports
selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of
these requirements, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide .
Attention: The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a
transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
To install SFP transceivers, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the protective plugs from the ports to be used.
Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the router 21
Page 50
2. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until
3. Repeat for the remaining ports, as required.
Connecting cables
Attention: A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 5 cm (2 in.)
under full tensile load and 3 cm (1.2 in.) with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not
recommended for optical cables because they can be easily overtightened.
1. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector)

from the workstation.
Setting the router date and time
The date and time router settings are used for logging events. Router operation
does not depend on the date and time; a router with incorrect date or time values
still functions properly. You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary
fabric configuration server (FCS) router to that of an external Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server.
Perform the following steps to set the date and time of the router.
Setting the date
1. Log in to the router as admin .
2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax:
date "MMDDhhmm[CC]YY"
The values represent the following:
v MM is the month (01-12)
v DD is the date (01-31)
v hh is the hour (00-23)
v mm is minutes (00-59)
v CC is the century (19-20)
v YY is the year (00-99)
Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values less
than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069. The date function does not support
Daylight Savings Time or time zones, so changes will have to be reset
manually.

reflected in local time calculations.
v By default, all switches are in the GMT time zone (0,0). If all switches in a fabric
are in one time zone, it is possible for you to keep the time zone setup at the
default setting.

perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set.
However, you only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the
value is written to nonvolatile memory.
1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default
password, which is password .
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
Use timeZone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID,
such as PST.

Synchronizing local time using NTP
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration
server (FCS) switch to a maximum of eight external network time protocol (NTP)
servers. To keep the time in your SAN current, it is recommended that the principal
or primary FCS switch has its time synchronized with at least one external NTP
server. The other switches in the fabric will automatically take their time from the
principal or primary FCS switch.
All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server value in non-volatile
memory. By default, this value is the local clock server <LOCL> of the principal or
primary FCS switch. Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary
FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.
When a new switch enters the fabric, the time server daemon of the principal or
primary FCS switch sends out the addresses of all existing clock servers and the
time to the new switch. If a switch with FOS 5.3.0 or later has entered the fabric it
will be able to store the list and the active servers; pre-5.3.0 Fabric OS switches will
ignore the new list parameter in the payload and will update only the active server
address.
For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide .
1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default
password, which is password .
2. Enter the tsClockServer command:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2>"
where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the
switch must be able to access. The second ntp2 is the second NTP server and
is optional. The operand “<ntp1;ntp2>” is optional; by default, this value is
LOCL, which uses the local clock of the principal or primary switch as the clock
server.
The tsClockServer command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4,
IPv6, or DNS name formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed,
tsClockServer sets the first obtainable address as the active NTP server. The
others will be stored as backup servers that can take over if the active NTP server
fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP server
every 64 seconds.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"

Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers
Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS
switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.
Configuring FCIP and Fibre Channel routing services
The ports on the router are initially set to persistently disabled. Once the router is
powered on, the port LEDs will flash amber until they are enabled. This is normal. If
you want to enable the FC ports as a standard E_Port or F_port, use the
portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable the ports. If you are using the FC
ports as EX_Ports you must configure the Fibre Channel Routing Services feature
prior to enabling the ports. The Ethernet ports can only be used after you have
configured FCIP and enabled the VE_Ports. See the Using the FC-FC Routing
Service and Using the FCIP Tunneling Service chapters of the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide for detailed instructions on configuring the Fibre Channel
Router ports and GbE ports on the router.
Verifying correct operation of the router
To verify the correct operation of the router, complete these steps:
1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information
about LED patterns, refer to “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30.
2. Run the portCfgPersistntEnable command to activate the FC ports for FC
operation.
3. Verify the correct operation of the router by entering the switchshow command
from the workstation. This command provides information about the router and
its port status, such as in the example below.

4. Verify the correct operation of the router in the fabric by entering the
fabricshow command from the workstation. This command provides general
information about the fabric.
Backing up the configuration
You should save all key configuration data for the router—including license key
information—and upload it to a FTP server for emergency reference. Back up the
configuration on a routine basis to ensure that a complete and current configuration
is available if needed.
After configurations are complete, back up the configuration by entering the
configUpload command.
26 SAN04B-R Installation, Service, and User’s Guide
Page 55
The configUpload command uploads the router configuration to the server so that
it is available for downloading to a replacement router, if necessary. For specific
instructions about how to back up and restore the configuration, see the Maintaining
Configurations chapter in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide . The switchShow,
fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric OS
Command Reference.
Viewing, adding, and removing license keys (optional)
Depending on what has been ordered, certain licenses are factory-installed on the
router. Feature licenses might be included as a paperpack item in the router
shipping carton. This paperpack will provide you with keys to unlock the features.
You can also purchase licenses separately from IBM.
Attention: Retain this paperpack in a safe place. The transaction keys in the
paperpack are required for activation of optional features on the router. Once
a feature is activated, its activation key is associated with a specific product
WWN and serial number.
To determine which licenses are currently enabled, enter the licenseShow
command. Yo u need the WWN for the router to obtain and activate licenses; you
can get the WWN by using the switchShow command. Refer to the following
sections for information about viewing the current licenses, adding a license, or
removing a license. For more information on the following procedures, see the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS Command Reference.
Viewing current license keys
To view the licenses that are currently enabled on the router, complete the following
steps.
1. Log in as admin .
2. Enter the licenseShow command. A list of the enabled licenses and their
features is displayed, as in the following example.
Table 7. Viewing current licenses
APswitch:admin> licenseshow

Zoning license
APswitch:admin>
Adding a license key
Licenses for additional functionality may be purchased as feature codes through
IBM. Contact your IBM representative for more information. You will need to supply
IBM with the WWN to obtain a transaction key, which is sent in a paperpack. To
obtain the license key, follow the instructions included in the paperpack. The
transaction key and the router wwn or product serial number are required to obtain
the license key.
To add a license to the router, complete the following steps.
1. Log in as admin .
2. Enter the switchShow command to obtain the WWN of your router.
Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the router 27
Page 56
The license key is a string of approximately 16 uppercase and lowercase letters
and digits. Case is significant. The key is an encrypted form of the system
WWN and the products licensed to run on this system.
3. Enter the licenseAdd command, followed by the license key enclosed in
quotation marks, as shown in the following example.
APswitch:admin> licenseadd "aBcDeFGh12345K"
License key aBcDeFGh12345 added
Enter the license key into the system exactly as issued. If you enter it
incorrectly, the license might be accepted, but it will not function.
4. After entering the license key, use the licenseShow command to verify that it is
valid. If a licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid.
After you enter a license, the licensed product is available immediately;
Note:
the system does not need to be rebooted.
Removing a license key
To remove a license from the router, complete the following steps.
1. Log in as admin .
2. Enter the licenseRemove command, followed by the license key enclosed in
quotation marks, as in the following example.
APswitch:admin> licenseremove "bQebzbRdScRfc0iK"
removing license key "bQebzbRdScRfc0iK"
3. Save the license key information in case you want to reinstall it in the future.
4. After removing the license key, the router must be rebooted.
5. Use the licenseShow command to verify that the license key has been
removed.

Interpreting LED activity
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on
the router. LEDs are located on both the port side and the nonport side of the
router.
There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light.
The steady lights and flashing lights can be green or amber.
The status LEDs may display amber or flash during boot, POST, or other diagnostic
tests. This is normal and does not indicate a problem unless all boot processes and
diagnostic tests are complete, and the LEDs continue to indicate a problem status.
Attention: All ports on the router are by default, persistently disabled to avoid
unintentional merging of fabrics. Before you can successfully configure FCIP
tunnels, you must enable the ports. When the blade is first powered up, all port
status LEDs will flash amber. This is normal. Use the portCfgShow command to
view the status of the ports. Use the portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable
a port. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS Command
Reference Manual for more information on these commands.
LEDs on the port side of the router
The port side of the router has the following LEDs (see Figure 8 on page 31). Refer
to the appropriate section for information about how to interpret the LED patterns.
v “Power status LED patterns” on page 32
v “System status LED patterns” on page 32
v “Ethernet management port LED patterns” on page 33
v “Port status LED patterns” on page 33
8 on page 31 shows the location of the LEDs and other components on the
Figure
port side of the router.
Note: Fibre Channel ports 0 and 1, plus the two GbE (at 50 Mbps) ports are
enabled on this router base model. The remaining FC ports, and additional
virtual ports on the GbE ports as tunnel connections are enabled with the
upgrade license. The GbE port speed is also increased up to 1 Gbps with
the upgrade license.

Chapter 3. Managing the router and monitoring components 35
Page 64
Interpreting POST results
POST is a system check that is performed each time the router is powered on,
rebooted, or reset, and during which the LEDs flash different colors.
To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were
detected:
v Verify that the LEDs on the router indicate that all components are healthy (LED
patterns are described in the tables in “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30). If
one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state:
– Verify that the LEDs are not set to "beacon" (this can be determined through
the switchShow command or Web Tools). For information about how to turn
beaconing on and off, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide or the Web
Tools Administrator's Guide .
– Follow the recommended action for the observed LED behavior, as listed in
the tables in “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30.
Verify that diagShow command displays that the diagnostic status for all ports in
v
the router is OK.
v Review the system log for errors. Errors detected during POST are written to the
system log, which is viewed using the errShow command. For more information
about this command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference . For information
about specific error messages, see the Fabric OS Error Message Reference .
POST and boot specifications
The router runs POST by default each time it is powered on. It typically requires
from 1 to 3 minutes to boot and complete POST. POST can be skipped after
subsequent reboots by entering the fastBoot command. For more information
about this command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual .
POST
The success/fail results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be
monitored through LED activity, the error log, or a command line interface.
POST includes the following tasks:
1. Running preliminary POST diagnostics
2. Initializing the operating system
3. Initializing the hardware
4. Running diagnostic tests on several functions, including circuitry, port
functionality, memory, statistics counters, and serialization
Boot
In addition to POST, boot includes the following tasks after POST is complete:
1. Performing universal port configuration
2. Initializing links
3. Analyzing the fabric. If any ports are connected to other switches, the router
participates in a fabric configuration.
4. Obtaining a domain ID and assigning port addresses
5. Constructing unicast routing tables
6. Enabling normal port operation
36 SAN04B-R Installation, Service, and User’s Guide
Page 65
Diagnostics and troubleshooting
The router is designed for high availability and low failure. It does not require any
regular physical maintenance.
Diagnostic tests
In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot
the hardware and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry,
fixed media, and the transceivers and cables in use. The tests are implemented by
command, either through a Telnet session or through a terminal set up for a serial
connection to the router. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external
cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver,
and cable. Some tests require loop back plugs.
Diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1-Gb/sec, 2-Gb/sec, and 4-Gb/sec. For
information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide .
Note: Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the
links during diagnostic testing.
CLI commands for device status
This section lists a few CLI commands that you can use to obtain device status and
perform diagnostics, as well as event and port log information for troubleshooting
purposes. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS
Command Reference for details on these and other commands.
CRU status
You can log in to the router as administrator and use different commands to display
the overall status of the router, as well as the status of individual components. Use
the following commands to display the status and configuration of various
components:
v switchStatusShow - displays the overall status of the router
v portShow - displays the configuration and status of an individual port
v tempShow - displays temperature of the router
v fanShow - displays the status of individual fans
v psShow - displays the status of the specified power supply
v errShow - displays the router event log
v portLogShow - displays the events specific to each port
The power supplies and fan assemblies are customer replaceable units (CRUs),
which can be replaced without the use of special tools. To determine the status of
these CRUs, use the following diagnostic procedures. Follow the procedures in
Chapter 4, “Removing and replacing CRUs,” on page 39 if you determine that any
CRUs are defective.
Power supplies
The two power supplies, power supply #1 (4 in Figure 10 on page 40) and power
supply #2 (3 ), are hot-swappable. They are identical and fit into either power
supply slot. Use any of the following methods to determine whether a power supply
needs to be replaced:
v Check the power supply status LED (see “Power status LED patterns” on page
32).
Chapter 3. Managing the router and monitoring components 37
Page 66
v Enter the psShow command at the command prompt to display power supply
status as shown in the example below:

Chapter 4. Removing and replacing CRUs
This chapter describes how to remove and replace the customer replaceable units
(CRUs) in the router. The CRUs for this router include the power supplies, fan
assemblies, the SFPs, and the entire router chassis (see “Parts list (CRUs)” on
page 60 for part numbers). Although these CRUs can be removed and replaced
without special tools, qualified service personnel should perform the installation and
service procedures. With the exception of the chassis replacement, the router can
continue operating during the CRU replacements if you adhere to the conditions
specified in the procedures.
Attention: Before installing, removing, or replacing any component, read and
follow the “Safety notices and labels” on page xv.
Refer to the following sections for specific CRU removal and replacement
procedures:
v “Replacing a power supply”

Replacing a fan assembly
Attention: Before installing, removing, or replacing any component, read and
follow the “Safety notices and labels” on page xv.
Use this procedure to remove and replace a fan assembly in the router. The router
can continue operating during the replacement procedure if the other fan
assemblies continue to operate and the replacement is completed within 2 minutes.
This will ensure correct air pressure inside the chassis for the router cooling
requirements.
Attention: The fans in the fan assembly will continue to spin after they are
removed from power. Wait approximately five seconds after disengaging a fan
assembly from the chassis before removing it entirely from the chassis. This will
allow the spinning fan blades to slow or stop completely.
The router has three fan assembly slots, and each fan assembly contains two fans.
The fan assemblies are interchangeable and can be inserted into any of the fan
assembly slots (see Figure 12).
