Chapter Introducing the Brocade 5000 1 This chapter provides the following information: - “Overview of Brocade 5000,” next “Managing the Brocade 5000” on page 3 “Supported Features” on page 4 Overview of Brocade 5000 The Brocade 5000 switch is a 1U Fibre Channel switch with 32 fixed Fibre Channel SFP ports that supports link speeds up to 1, 2, or 4 Gbit/sec. It includes the Brocade Fabric Operating System and is compatible with the entire Brocade SilkWorm product family.
1 Overview of Brocade 5000 The Brocade 5000 can be mounted in a 1U 19-inch Electronic Industries Association (EIA) rack, with a height of 1U. Because of the shallow depth, no rail kits are required for a rack mount, however the switch can be installed using the fixed or slide rack mount kits. The Brocade 5000 can also be used in a tabletop configuration. Figure 1 shows the port side of the Brocade 5000.
Managing the Brocade 5000 1 FIELD REPLACEABLE UNITS Power supply/fan assembly units are the only Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) in the Brocade 5000. There are two power supply/fan assembly units in the Brocade 5000. They are hot-swappable and redundant, and capable of functioning universally without voltage jumpers or switches. The FRU units are identical and interchangeable. The front panel of the FRUs has a status LED to indicate status of the unit.
1 Supported Features NOTE To achieve in-band support for IP over Fibre Channel, the software must be run on both the HBA and the switch, and it must be supported by both the HBA and HBA driver.
Chapter Installing and Configuring the Brocade 5000 2 This chapter provides the following information: - “Items Included with the Brocade 5000,” next “Installation and Safety Considerations” on page 5 “Setting Up the Switch Using Mounting Ears” on page 6 “Setting Up the Brocade 5000 as a Standalone Unit” on page 7 “Configuring the Brocade 5000” on page 7 “Recommendations for Cable Management” on page 13 Items Included with the Brocade 5000 The following items are included with the standard shipment of
2 Setting Up the Switch Using Mounting Ears - In an EIA cabinet using the mounting ears provided with the switch. This is the recommended installation method. For instructions and more information, refer to “Setting Up the Switch Using Mounting Ears” on page 6. - As a standalone unit on a flat surface. For instructions and more information, refer to “Setting Up the Brocade 5000 as a Standalone Unit” on page 7. - In an EIA cabinet using the Fixed Rack Mount Kit.
Setting Up the Brocade 5000 as a Standalone Unit 2 1. Locate the mounting ear marked “L” for left. 2. Place the long side of the mounting ear against the side of the switch (when facing the port-side of the switch), aligning the holes on the mounting ear to the holes on the side of the switch. 3. Using three of the screws provided in the FRU kit and a screwdriver, attach the mounting ear to the switch. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the mounting ear marked “R” for right on the right side of the switch.
2 Configuring the Brocade 5000 The following items are required for configuring and connecting the Brocade 5000 for use in a network and fabric: • • The Brocade 5000, installed and connected to a power source A workstation computer that has a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal for Windows) • An unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address • The serial cable provided with the switch • An Ethernet cable • SFP transceivers and compatible fibre cables, as required • A
Configuring the Brocade 5000 2 1. Remove the plug from the serial port and insert the serial cable provided with the Brocade 5000. 2. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to a serial port on the workstation. 3. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation. 4.
2 Configuring the Brocade 5000 4. If the serial port is no longer required, log out of the serial console, remove the serial cable, and replace the plug in the serial port. Creating an Ethernet Connection To create an Ethernet connection to the Brocade 5000: 1. Remove the plug from the Ethernet port. 2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the switch Ethernet port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation.
Configuring the Brocade 5000 2 3. Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports, as required. The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the Brocade Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. a. Remove the plugs from the ports to be used. b. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
2 Configuring the Brocade 5000 You should back up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch. For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. The switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric OS Command Reference. SETTING THE SWITCH DATE AND TIME The date and time switch settings are used for logging events.
Recommendations for Cable Management 2 Example switch:admin> tsclockserver LOCL switch:admin> tsclockserver 132.163.135.131 switch:admin> CORRECTING THE TIME ZONE OF A SWITCH If the time of your switch(es) is off by hours (and not minutes), use the following procedure on all switches to set the time zone: 1. Log in as admin. 2. Enter the tsTimeZone - - interactive command. 3. Follow the prompts to select the correct time zone for the switch.

Interpreting POST Results 3 Interpreting POST Results POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, and during which the LEDs flash different colors. To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were detected: - Verify that the LEDs on the switch indicate that all components are healthy (LED patterns are described in Table 2 on page 3-16). If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state: 1.
