Management
Assembly

Front Bezel

CTP2 Card

The cable management assembly at the bottom front of the director
provides routing for Ethernet cables attached to CTP2 cards and
fiber-optic cables attached to director ports. The assembly rotates up
to provide front access to the redundant power supplies.

The bezel at the top front of the director includes an amber system
error light-emitting diode (LED) and a green power LED. The power
LED illuminates when the director is powered on and operational. If
the LED extinguishes, a facility power source, alternating current
(AC) power cord, or director power distribution failure is indicated.

The system error LED illuminates 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
extinguishes when the Clear System Error Light function is selected
from the Element Manager application. The LED blinks if unit
beaconing is enabled. An illuminated system error LED (indicating a
failure) takes precedence over unit beaconing.

The director is delivered with two CTP2 cards. The active CTP2 card
initializes and configuresthe director after power on and contains the
microprocessor and associated logic that coo rdinate director
operation.

Field-Replaceable Units

1-5

General Information

1

The CTP2 card provides an initial machine load (IML) button and a
RESET button (recessed) on the faceplate.

When the IML button is pressed, held for three seconds, and
released, the director performs an IML that reloads the 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 CTP2 card and
reloads the firmware from FLASH memory.

• Ethernet LAN interface, causing the connection to the
management server to drop momentarily until the connection
automatically recovers.

• 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 CTP2 card failure is indicated.
As a precaution, the RESET button is flush mounted to protect
against inadvertent activation.

Each CTP2 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 CTP2 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 po rt. The EP subsystem provides Class F and
exception frame processing, and manages frame transmission to
and from the SBAR assembly. In addition, a CTP2 card provides
nonvolatile memory for storing firmware, director configuration
information, persistent operating parameters, and memory dump
files. Directorfirmware is upgradedconcurrently (without disrupting
operation).

The backup CTP2 card takes over operation if the active card fails.
Failover from a faulty card to the backup card is transparent to
attached devices.

UPM Card

Each UPM card (Figure 1-4) provides four full-duplex generic ports
(G_Ports)thattransmitorreceivedataat1or2gigabitspersecond

attachment. UPM cards use non-open fiber control (OFC) Class 1
laser transceivers that comply with Section 21 of the Code o f Federal
Regulations(CFR),Subpart(J)asofthedateofmanufacture.

The card faceplate contains:

• Four duplex LC connectors for attaching fiber-optic cables.

• AnamberLED(atthetopofthecard)thatilluminatesifanyport
fails or blinks if FRU beaconing is enabled.

• A bank of amber and green LEDs above the ports. One amber
LED and one green LED are associated w ith each port and
indicate port status as follows:

— The green LED illuminates (or blinks if there is active traffic)

and the amber LED extinguishes to indicate normal port
operation.

— The amber LED illuminates and the green LED extinguishes to

indicate a port failure.

— Both LEDs extinguish to indicate a port is operational but not

communicating with an N_Port (no cable attached, loss of
light, port blocked, or link recovery in process).

— The amber LED flashes and the green LED either remains on,

extinguishes, or flashes to indicate a port is beaconing or
running online diagnostics.

Power Supply

RFI Shield

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 p rotection. 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 are input rated at 85
to 264 volts alternating current (VAC). The faceplate of each power
supply provides the following status LEDs:

• A green PWR OK LED illuminates if the power supply is
operational and receiving AC power.

•AnamberFAULT LED illuminates if the power supply fails.

•AnamberTEMP LED illuminates if the power supply shuts
down due to an over temperature condition.

•AnamberILIMLED illuminates if the power supply is
overloaded and operating at the current limit (15.6 amperes).

The RFI shield covers and provides RFI protection for all rear- access
FRUs except the power module assembly. The RFI shield is
concurrent and can be removed or replaced while the director is
powered on and operating.

Power Module
Assembly

Fan Module

The power module assembly is located at the bottom rear of the
director. The module is a nonconcurrent FRU, and the director must
be powered off prior to scheduled removal and replacement. The
module provides:

• Two single-phase AC power connectors. Each connector is input
rated at 85 to 264 VAC.

• A power switch (circuit breaker) that controls AC power
distribution to both power supplies. The breaker is set manually,
or is automatically tripped by internal software if thermal sensors
indicate the director is overheated.

• A 9-pin maintenance port that provides a connection for a local
terminal or dial-in connectionfor a remote terminal. Although the
port is typically used by maintenance personnel, operations
personnel use the port to configure network addresses.

• An input filter and AC system harness (internal to the FRU) that
provides the wiring to connect the AC power connectors to the
power switch and power supplies (through the backplane).

Two fan modules, each containing three fans (six fans total), provide
cooling for director FRUs, as well as redundancy for conti nued
operationifafanfails.

module illuminates if one or more fans fail or rotate at insufficient
angular velocity.

The directoris delivered with tw o SBAR assemblies.The active SBAR
is responsiblefor Fibre Channel frame transmission from any director
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.

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 to the backup assembly is
transparent to attached devices.

Each SBAR assembly consistsof a card and steel carriage that mounts
flush on the backplane. The carriage provides protection for the back
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
extinguished on an operational backup assembly. The amber LED
blinks if FRU beaconing is enabled.

Backplane

The backplane provides 48 VDC power distribution and connections
for all logic cards. The backplane is a nonconcurrent FRU. The
director must be powered off prior to FRU removal and replacement.

Error-Detection, Reporting, 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 communicating 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 thedirector is configured to operate in FICON management
style.

Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability Features

• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of 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 provided through a local or remote PC
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
required) LED on the FRU flashes. When unit beaconing is
enabled, the system error indicator on the front bezel flashes.
Beaconing does not affect port, FRU, or director operation.

• An internal modem for use by support personn el 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.

NOTE: Thecall-homefeatureisnotavailablethroughtheEFCMBasic

• Simple network management protocol (SNMP). An SNMP agent
is implemented through the SAN management application that
allows administrators on SNMP management workstations to
access director management information using any standard
network management tool. Administrators can assign internet
protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for
up to 12 SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message
recipients. Refer to the McDATA SNMP Support Manual
(620-000131).

• Command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access
many SAN management functions while entering commands
during a telnet session with the director. The primary purpose of
the CLI is to automate management of a large number of directors
using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no checking
