ivIntel Blade Server Fibre Channel Switch Module SBCEFCSW / FC Expansion Card SBFCM Guide
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (IC) should be considered sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects.
Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the server , the part, the work mat, and the person
handling the part are all at the same charge.
✏ NOTE
Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.
Make sure that the ESD-protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
•Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.
•Avoid contact with other people.
•Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.
•Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when
you are wearing a wrist strap.
•Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially
useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.
•Select a grounding system, such as those in the following list, to provide protection that meets the specific
service requirement.
— Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.
— Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or battery-
operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.
— Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on AC-operated computers.
✏ NOTE
The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage.
CAUTION:
If your system has a module containing a lithium battery, replace it only with the same module
type made by the same manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and can explode if not
properly used, handled, or disposed of. Do not:
•Throw or immerse into water
•Heat to more than 100×C (212×F)
•Repair or disassemble
•Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.
CAUTION:
When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD-ROM drives, fi ber optic devices, or
transmitters) are installed, note the following:
•Do not remove the covers. Remo ving the cov ers of the laser product could result in exposure to hazardous
laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
v
Danger: DANGER
Danger: Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode. Note the
following:
Danger: Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical
instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the blade is connected to the power source. Always replace
the blade cover before installing the blade.

You can manage and configure your Intel
Telnet connection to the embedded command line interf ace (CLI) or b y using the SAN Utility application. The
SAN Utility provides an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that you can use to configure multiple fibre
channel switch modules through other connected SAN devices from a single interface. The SAN Utility
application is referred to throughout this publication as the S AN Utility.
This guide provides instructions to:
•Configure your switch module
•Manage fabrics, ports, and switch modules
•Use Telnet and the CLI to configure switch module parameters
You can manage the SBCE fabric through an Ethernet network using the SAN Utility or the CLI. The SAN
Utility is installed on a Microsoft* Windows* 2003, Red Hat* Linux* Advanced Server Version 2.1 or Red
Hat Linux Version 9.0.
The switch module has an embedded Telnet server through which a Telnet client can connect and manage the
switch module using the CLI. See “Command line interface (CLI)” below for more information about Telnet
and CLI commands.
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The switch module firmware supports SNMP
Versions 1, 2, and 3; the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0; and the Fabric
Element Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps are formatted using SNMP version 2.
If you are an experienced user, you can use the Telnet CLI to perform the following tasks:
•Manage the switch module from the SBCE management module interface to the Telnet client
•Perform single switch management
•Use advanced control commands
If you are a new user or if you need to manage multiple switch modules from a single interface, you can use
the SAN Utility GUI to perform the following tasks:
•Manage your switch module from a remote client or network management workstation
•Manage your multiswitch fabric
For information about installing the switch module and the SAN Utility, see the Switch Module Installation Guide that comes with the switch module.
