Chapter 1: General information
The IBM®TotalStorage SAN140M directorprovides up to 140ports of
high-performance, dynamic Fibre Channel connectivity for switched
fabric devices in a storage area network (SAN). The director provides
a broad bandwidth (1, 2 or 10 gigabits per second), redundant
switched data paths, and long transmission distances.
This chapter presents information and features of the director and its
management, including:
•Director description.
•Field-replaceable units (FRUs).
•Error detection, reporting, and serviceability features.
•Element Manager status indicators
•Toolsandtestequipment.
•Director management.
Director description
The SAN140M director is a 140-port product that provides dynamic
switched connections between Fibre Chann el servers a nd devices in a
SAN environment. The portsoperate at 1, 2 or 10 gigabits per second
(Gbps). Directors (from one to three) can be configured to order in an
equipment cabinet, which can provide up to 420 ports in a single
cabinet.
The director provides dynamic switched connections for servers and
devices, supports mainframe andopen-systems interconnection (OSI)
computing environments, and provides data transmission and flow
control between device node ports (N_Ports) as dictated by the FibreChannel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH 4.3). Through
interswitch links (ISLs), the director can also connect to one or more
additional directors to form a Fibre Channel multiswitch fabric.
The director can be managed through a management server running
a Java™-based SAN management application (Enterprise Fabric
Connectivity Manager (EFCM) and Element Manager applications).
Multiple directors and the management server communicate on a
local area network (LAN) through one or more 10/100 Base-T
Ethernet hubs. One or more 24-port Ethernet hubs are optional and
can be ordered with the director. Up to three hubs can be
daisy-chained to provide additional Ethernet connections as more
directors (or other IBM managed products) are installed on a
customer network.
As an option, administrators or operators with a browser-capable PC
and an Internet connection can monitor and manage the director
through the EFCM Basic Edition interface. The interface manages
only a single director, and provides a graphical user interface (GUI)
that supports product configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic
operation. The EFCM Basic Edition interface is opened from a
®
standard web browser running Netscape Navigator
®
Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher.

Power/system LED assembly
The bezel at the top front of the director includes an amber system
errorlight-emitting diode (LED)and a greenpower LED. These LEDs
are actuated and controlled by a Power/System LED Assembly
which is accessed from the rear of the director.
The power LED lights up when the director is powered on and
operational. If the LED turns off, a facility power source, alternating
current (AC) power cord, or director power distribution failure is
indicated.
The system error LED lights up when the director detects an event
requiring immediate operator attention, such as a FRU failure. The
LED remains illuminated as long as an event is active. The LED turns
off when the Clear System Error Light function is selected from the
Element Manager application. The LED blinks if unit beaconing is
enabled. A lit system error LED (indicating a failure) takes
precedence over unit beaconing.
CTP card
The director is delivered with two CTP cards. The active CTP card
initializes and configures the director after power on and contains the
microprocessor and associated logic that coordinate director
operation.
The CTP card provides an initial machine load (IML)buttonanda
RESET button (recessed) on the faceplate.
When the IML button is pressed, held for three seconds, and
released,the director performsan IMLthat reloadsthe firmware from
FLASH memory. This operation is not disruptive to Fibre Channel
traffic.
When the RESET button is pressed and held for three seconds, the
director performs a reset. A reset is disruptive and resets the:
•Microprocessor and functional logic for the CTP card and reloads
thefirmwarefromFLASHmemory.
•Ethernet LAN interface, causing the connection to the
management server to drop momentarily until the connection
automatically recovers.
6
SAN140M Installation and Service Manual
Page 39
•Ports, causing all Fibre Channel connections to drop momentarily
until the connections automatically recover. This causes attached
devices to log out and log back in, therefore data frames lost
during director reset must be retransmitted.
A reset should only be performed if a CTP card failure is indicated.
As a precaution, the RESET button is flush mounted to protect
against inadvertent activation.
Each CTP card also provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps)
RJ-45 twisted pair connector on the faceplate that attaches to an
Ethernet local area network (LAN) to communicate with the
management server or a simple network management protocol
(SNMP) management station.
Each CTP card provides system services processor (SSP) and
embedded port (EP) subsystems. The SSP subsystem runs director
applications and the underlying operating system, communicates
with director ports, and controls the RS-232 maintenance port and
10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. The EP subsystem provides Class F and
exception frame processing, and manages frame transmission to
and from the SBAR assembly. In addition, a CTP card provides
nonvolatile memory for s toring firmware, director configuration
information, persistent operating parameters, and memory dump
files. Director firmware isupgraded concurrently (without disrupting
operation).
UPM card
The backup CTP card takes over operation if the active card fails.
Failover from a faulty card to the backup card is transparent to
attached devices.
Each card faceplate contains a green LED that illuminates if the card
is operational and active, and an amber LED that illuminates if the
card fails. Both LEDs are turned off on an operational backup card.
The amber LED blinks if FRU beaconing is enabled.
Each UPM card (Figure 4) provides four full-duplex generic ports
(G_Ports) that transmit or receive data at 2 gigabits per second
(Gbps). G_Port functionality depends on the type of cable
attachment. UPM cards use non-open fiber control (OFC) Class 1
laser transceivers that comply with Section 21 of the Code of Federal
Regulations(CFR),Subpart(J)asofthedateofmanufacture.
The card faceplate contains:

SFP and XFP transceivers
Singlemode or multimode fiber-optic cables attach to director ports
through2 Gbps small form-factor pluggable (SFP, Figure 6 -forUPM
cards) or 10 Gbps form-factor pluggable (XFP, Figure 7 -forXPM
cards) optic transceivers. The fiber-optic transceivers provide duplex
®
connectors and can be detached from director ports for easy
LC
replacement.
NOTE: SFPandXFPtransceiversarenotinterchangeable.
These fiber-optic transceiver types are available:
Redundant, load-sharing power supplies step down and rectify
facility input power to provide 48-volt direct current (VDC) power to
director FRUs. The power supplies also provide overvoltage and
overcurrent protection. Either power supply can be replaced while
the director is powered on and operational.
Each power supply has a separate backplane connection to allow for
different AC power sources. The power supplies a re in put rated at
180 to 264 volts alternating current (V AC). The faceplate of each
power supply provides the following status LEDs:
•A green AC OK LED illuminates if the power supply is
operational and receiving AC power.
•A green DC OK LED illuminates if the power supply is
operational and producing DC power.
•AredFAULT LED illuminates if the power supply fails.
AC module
The AC module is located at the bottom rearof the director. Either AC
module can be replaced while the director is powered on and
operational. The module provides:
•Two single-phase, 220 VAC, power connectors.
Chapter 1: General information
11
Page 44
Fan module
SBAR assembly
•An input filter and AC system harness (internal to the FRU) that
provides the wiring to connect the AC power connectors to the
power supplies (through the backplane).
Three fan modules, each containing one system fan (three system fans
total), provide cooling for director FRUs, as well as redundancy for
continued operation if a fan fails.
A fan module can be replaced while the director is powered on and
operating, provided the module is replaced within ten minutes (after
which software powers off the director). An amber LED for each fan
module illuminates if one or more fans fail or rotate at insufficient
angular velocity.
The director is delivered with two SBAR assemblies. The active SBAR
isresponsibleforFibreChannelframetransmissionfromanydirector
port to any other director port. Connections are established without
software intervention. The assembly accepts a connection request
from a port, determines if a connection can be established, and
establishes the connection if the destination port is available. The
assembly also stores busy, source connection, and error status for
each director port.
Backplane
12
SAN140M Installation and Service Manual
The backup SBAR takes over operation if the active assembly fails,
and provides the ability to maintain connectivity and data frame
transmission without interruption. Failover tothe backup assembly is
transparent to attached devices.
Each SBARassembly consists of a card and steel carriage that mounts
flushonthebackplane.Thecarriageprovidesprotectionfortheback
of the card, distributes cooling airflow, and assists in aligning the
assembly during installation. The rear of the carriage contains a green
LED that illuminates if the assembly is operational and active, and an
amber LED that illuminates if the assembly fails. Both LEDs are
turned off on an operational backup assembly.The amber LED blinks
if FRU beaconing is enabled.
The backplane provides 48 VDCpower distributionand connections
for all logic cards. The backplane is a nonconcurrent FRU. The
director must be powered off prior to FRU removal and replacement.
Page 45
Error-detection, repor ting, and serviceability features
The director provides the following error detection, reporting, and
serviceability features:
•Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on director FRUs and the front
bezel that provide visual indicators of hardware status or
malfunctions.
•Redundant FRUs (logic cards, power supplies, and cooling fans)
that are removed or replaced without disrupting director or Fibre
Channel link operation.
•A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of
FRUs without the use of special tools or equipment.
•System alerts and logs that display director, Ethernet link, and
Fibre Channel link status at the management server (running a
SAN management application), client comm unicating with the
management server, or EFCM Basic Edition interface.
•Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs)
and port diagnostics (internal loopback, external loopback, and
Fibre Channel (FC) wrap tests). The FC wrap test applies only
when the director isconfigured to operate in FICON management
style.
•An RS-232maintenance port at the rearof the director(port access
is password protected) that enables installation or service
personnel to change the director’s internet protocol (IP) address,
subnet mask, and gateway address; or to run diagnostics and
isolate system problems through a local or remote terminal.
The director parameters can also be changed through a Telnet
session, access for which is providedthrough a local or remotePC
with an Internet connection to the director.
•Data collection through the Element Manager application or the
EFCM Basic Edition interface to help isolate system problems.
The data includes a memory dump file and audit, hardware, and
engineering logs.
•Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port,
FRU, or director in a multiswitch environment. When port
beaconing is enabled, the amber LED associated with the port
flashes. When FRU beaconing is enabled, the amber (service
Chapter 1: General information

required) LED on the FRU flashes. When unit beaconing is
enabled, the system error indicator on the front bezel fla shes.
Beaconing does not affect port, FRU, or director operation.
•An internal modem for use by support personnel to dial-in to the
management server for event notification and to perform remote
diagnostics.
•Automatic notification of significant system events (to support
personnel or administrators) through e-mail messages or the
call-home feature.
•Concurrent port maintenance. UPM cards are added or replaced
and fiber-optic cables are attached to ports without interrupting
other ports or director operation.
•Status monitoring of redundant FRUs and alternate Fibre
Channel data paths to ensure continued director availability in
case of failover. The SAN management application queries the
status of each backup FRU. A backup FRU failure is indicated by
an illuminated amber LED.
•SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB
(Version 1.1), transmission control protocol/internet protocol
(TCP/IP) MIB-II definition (RFC 1157), or a product-specific
private enterprise MIB that runs on each director. Up to six
authorized management workstations can be configured through
the Element Manager application or EFCM Basic Edition interface
to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages
indicate operational state changes and failure conditions.
•SNMP management using the Fibre Alliance MIB (Version 3.1)
that runs on the management server. Up to 12 authorized
management workstations can be configured through the SAN
management application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap
messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes
and failure conditions.
Element Manager status indicators
In addition to the visual indicators on the director chassis, the
Element Manager application presents alert symbols and messages
14
