X6-4 Director Hardware Installation Guide
NOTE
Once an Ethernet connection is established, the device can be accessed by remote connection using any
of the available management tools, such as Telnet or Web Tools.
2. Reconnect the transceivers and cables to the port blades.
NOTE
The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these
requirements, refer to the
Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide
.
a) Position one of the transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port and insert the transceiver into the
port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
b) Select the cable that corresponds to the port and position it so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable
connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching
mechanism clicks.
c) Repeat Step a and Step b for the remaining ports.
d) Organize the cables as required.
NOTE
Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vents.
Verifying Correct Operation of the System
Complete the following steps to verify correct operation of the device:
1. Log on to the device as
admin
.
switch:admin> login
login: admin
password: xxxxxxxx
switch:admin>
2. Enter the
chassisShow
command to verify that the airflow direction set on WWN cards matches the airflow direction
for fans in fan and power supply assemblies installed in the device.
The airflow direction of the fans and the power supplies displays as "Fan Direction" under each fan or power supply
unit. The system airflow direction displays as "System Airflow" under the WWN card unit. The following example
shows the mismatch of the system airflow and the airflow direction in the installed fan and the power supply.
POWER SUPPLY Unit: 1
Power Source: AC
Fan Direction: Non-portside Intake
...
FAN Unit: 2
Fan Direction: Non-portside Intake
...
WWN Unit: 1
System AirFlow: Non-portside Exhaust
...
WWN Unit: 2
System AirFlow: Non-portside Exhaust
The WWN units should indicate "Non-portside Intake." If there is a mismatch of airflow direction, RASlog messages
will indicate a mismatch between the system airflow direction and the airflow direction of fan in power supply or fan
assembly. See
Configuring the Airflow Direction on WWN Cards
for instructions on configuring correct airflow direction
on WWN cards.
