Installing and configuring the Brocade 7800 ● Installation and safety considerations............................................................................. 19 ● Installation Precautions................................................................................................... 20 ● Items included with the Brocade 7800 Extension Switch................................................21 ● Setting up the Brocade 7800 Extension Switch as a standalone unit.............................
Installation Precautions • Verify that the additional weight of the Brocade 7800 does not exceed the rack’s weight limits or unbalance the rack in any way. • Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement. DANGER Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over. Installation Precautions Review all installation precautions before installing the device.
RTC battery precautions DANGER Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the device to connect it to the power source. This product is designed for an IT power system with phase-to-phase voltage of 230V. After operation of the protective device, the equipment is still under voltage if it is connected to an IT power system. RTC battery precautions Do not attempt to replace the real-time clock (RTC) battery.
Setting up the Brocade 7800 Extension Switch as a standalone unit ‐ ‐ Connector at system end of cordset: IEC 60320/ C13 ‐ Two power cord retainers One RJ-45 serial cable, 10-ft (approximately 3 m) long. The Extension Switch uses an RJ-45 connector for the console port. An RJ-45 to DB9 adaptor is also provided with the Brocade 7800. Setting up the Brocade 7800 Extension Switch as a standalone unit The Brocade 7800 can be configured as a standalone unit, which means that it resides outside of a rack.
Providing power to the switch • SFP transceivers and compatible fiber and/or copper cables, as required • Access to an FTP server, for backing up (uploading) or downloading the Brocade 7800 configuration To configure the Brocade 7800, you must perform the following tasks: 1. Providing power to the switch on page 23 2. Creating a serial connection on page 23 3. Connecting to the Brocade 7800 using the serial connection on page 24 4. Setting the switch IP address on page 25 5.
Connecting to the Brocade 7800 using the serial connection 3. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation. 4.
Setting the switch IP address Setting the switch IP address You can configure the Brocade 7800 with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The Brocade 7800 supports both IPv4 and IPv6. Using DHCP to set the IP address When using DHCP, the Brocade 7800 obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server.
Creating an Ethernet connection Creating an Ethernet connection Perform the following steps to create an Ethernet connection to the Brocade 7800. 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. NOTE At this point, the Brocade 7800 can be accessed remotely, by command line or by Web Tools.
Synchronizing local time with an external source • • • • • • MM is the month (01-12) DD is the date (01-31) hh is the hour (00-23) mm is minutes (00-59) CC is the century (19-20) YY is the year (00-99) Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069. The date function does not support Daylight Savings Time or time zones, so changes will have to be reset manually.

Verifying correct operation and backup the configuration For instructions specific to the type of transceiver, see the transceiver manufacturer’s documentation. c) NOTE The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. Repeat steps a and b for the remaining ports, as required. 2. If you have chosen to use the optical ports for ge0 and ge1, install those SFPs.
Installing and configuring the Brocade 7800 1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, see the LED patterns section. 2. Run the portcfgpersistentenable command to activate the FC ports for FC operation. 3. Verify the correct operation of the Brocade 7800 by entering the switchShow command from the workstation. This command provides information about switch and port status. sw7800:admin> switchshow switchName: sw7800 switchType: 83.
Recommendations for cable management Brocade recommends backing up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement Brocade 7800. For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

LEDs on the nonport side of the Brocade 7800 LEDs on the nonport side of the Brocade 7800 The nonport side of the Brocade 7800 has the following LEDs: • One power supply LED next to the AC power switch on each fan and power supply assembly. See Nonport side of the Brocade 7800 on page 15 for a diagram of the non-port side of the switch. The following table describes the LEDs on the nonport side of the Extension Switch.
Boot Boot In addition to POST, boot includes the following tasks after POST is complete: 1. Perform universal port configuration 2. Initialize links 3. Analyze fabric. If any ports are connected to other Extension Switches, the Extension Switch participates in a fabric configuration 4. Obtain a domain ID and assigning port addresses 5. Construct unicast routing tables 6.
Field replaceable units (FRUs) connected by external cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loop back plugs. Diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, 4-Gbps, and 8-Gbps. For information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. NOTE Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during diagnostic testing.
Powering off the switch Powering off the switch Perform the following steps to power off the switch. 1. Run the sysShutdown command. This command not only shuts down the key processors but also powers off the switch and all LEDs will go dark. 2. Set each AC power switch to "0".
Removal and Replacement of Combined Power Supply and Fan Assembly (Port-side Air Exhaust) ● Before beginning installation........................................................................................... 41 ● Installing a combined power supply and fan assembly FRU...........................................41 Before beginning installation This section describes how to change a power supply/fan assembly for a unit with a port-side air exhaust.
Time required Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the fan assembly slots empty longer than two minutes while the switch is operating. If a fan assembly fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced. Maintain all fan assemblies in operational condition to provide redundancy. CAUTION If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
Removal and Replacement of Combined Power Supply and Fan Assembly (Port-side Air Exhaust) 4. Install the new power supply/fan assembly in the chassis: a) Orient the new fan assembly as shown in the following figure, with the captive screw on the right. FIGURE 8 Orientation of the power supply and fan assembly FRU b) Gently push the power supply/fan assembly into the chassis until it is firmly seated. NOTE Do not force the installation.
