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.
