DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place a hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the products that attach to the system. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (1)

CAUTION:

The 3534 Model F08 switch is designed to be installed by the customer, and is

certified as ″customer setup″. Make sure that the system or rack into which

the switch will be installed is also designed and certified for customer setup;

if it is not, then the switch must be installed by a CE. (1)

Safety inspection

Perform the following safety checks to identify unsafe conditions. Be cautious of

potential safety hazards that are not covered in the safety checks. If unsafe

conditions are present, determine how serious the hazards are and whether you

should continue before correcting the problem.

CAUTION:

The 3534 Model F08 switch is designed to be installed by the customer, and is

certified as ″customer setup″. Make sure that the system or rack into which

the switch will be installed is also designed and certified for customer setup;

if it is not, then the switch must be installed by a CE. (1)

Checking the machine

Perform the following external machine checks:

1. Verify that all external covers are present and are not damaged.

2. Ensure that all latches and hinges are in correct operating condition.

3. If the 3534 Model F08 is not installed in a rack cabinet, check for loose or

broken feet.

4. Check the power cord for damage.

5. Check the external signal cable for damage.

6. Check the cover for sharp edges, damage, or alterations that expose the

internal parts of the device.

7. Correct any problems that you find.

Checking the safety labels

Perform the following safety label checks:

1. Verify that the power supply cover caution label shown in Figure 1 is installed on

the power supply of the 3534 Model F08.

CAUTION: Do not remove cover, do not service, no serviceable parts. (2)

SAN Fibre Channel Switch: 3534 Model F08 Installation Guide

Chapter 1. Introduction

This chapter introduces the 3534 Model F08 and includes the following information:

v Overview of the 3534 Model F08

v System components

v Managing the 3534 Model F08

Overview of the 3534 Model F08

The 3534 Model F08 is an 8-port, dual-speed, auto-sensing fibre-channel switch. It

supports link speeds up to 2 Gbps, includes the Fabric Operating System (Fabric

OS), and is compatible and interoperable with the current series of 2109 and 3534

switches. It can operate as the only switch in the fabric or in a fabric that contains

multiple switches.

The 3534 Model F08 has an air-cooled chassis and can be installed either as a

stand-alone unit or mounted in a 1U 48.26 cm (19 in.) rack. It includes the following

features:

v Eight optical ports, each with two light-emitting diodes (LEDs). One LED indicates

port status and the other indicates link speed.

v Automatic negotiation to the highest common speed of all devices that are

connected to a particular port. The ports are:

– Compatible with small form-factor pluggable media (SFP) – Universal and self-configuring – Capable of individually becoming a fabric enabled port (F_port), a fabric loop

enabled port (FL_port), or an expansion port (E_port)

v One serial port with an RS-232 connector.

v One 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector and two LEDs.

One LED indicates port status and the other indicates link speed.

v Two switch status LEDs, one on the front panel and one on the back, which

indicate the overall status of the switch.

v One power supply without an ac switch.

v Five fan assemblies.

Note: The 3534 Model F08 contains no serviceable parts except the SFPs; see

Chapter 5, “Replacing an SFP” on page 25.

In addition, each 3534 Model F08 package includes:

v One 3.048 m (10 ft) RS-232 serial cable, which you can convert to an RJ-45

connector by removing the adapter on the end of the cable.

v One 1.8288 m (6 ft) power cable.

v Four rubber mounting feet, which you can use if you are installing the switch as a

stand-alone unit.

v One power cable extender.

v One rack mount kit, which you can use if you are installing the switch in a rack.

See Table 6 on page 11 for a list of the parts included in the kit.

v One documentation CD-ROM.

v One copy of this book, the IBM TotalStorage SAN Fibre Channel Switch 3534

Model F08 Installation Guide.

See Appendix A, “Product specifications” on page 27 for the 3534 Model F08 specifications.

System components

This section describes the front and back panels of the 3534 Model F08.

Front panel

Figure 5 shows the front panel of the 3534 Model F08. The front panel contains the following components:

The ports on the front panel are color-coded in groups, indicating which ports can be used in the same inter-switch link (ISL) Trunking group.

Note: ISL Trunking enables traffic to be distributed over the combined bandwidth of

up to four ISLs between two adjacent switches, while preserving in-order delivery. It is managed through the software. For information about ISL Trunking, see the IBM TotalStorage SAN Fibre Channel Switch 3534 Model F08 User’s Guide.

Managing the 3534 Model F08

For system debugging and performance analysis, you can manage the 3534 Model

F08 using either the in-band or the out-of-band management method. In-band uses

fibre-channel protocol and out-of-band connects to the Ethernet port. You can

monitor attributes such as the following:

v Fabric topology

v Port status

v Physical status

Note: The switch automatically performs power-on self-test (POST) diagnostics

each time it is turned on and records any detected errors in the error log. For more information about POST, see “Interpreting POST” on page 22.

SJ000336

Table 1 shows the management interfaces that are compatible with the 3534 Model

F08 and whether those interfaces can be used in-band, out-of-band, or both.

Chapter 2. Planning the installation

This chapter describes how to plan the installation of the 3534 Model F08 in an

operational environment and provides examples of completed planning worksheets.

For your convenience, blank planning worksheets have been provided for your use

in Appendix B, “Blank planning worksheets” on page 33. Make as many copies of

the blank worksheets as you need to plan the installation of your switches. Give

your system administrator copies of the completed worksheets.
