12 Brocade SAN Switch Module: Installation Guide
The following table summarizes the application for each switch module.
The second switch module port connection allows for dual paths from the blade server to
external Fibre Channel devices.
Installation guidelines
Before you begin to install the switch module in the SBCE unit, read the following
information:
• Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines specified under “Safety and
regulatory information” on page v and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 13,
and read the safety statements in Blade unit option documentation.
• Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to
remove it from or install it in the Blade unit, open or close a latch, and so on.
• Green on a component or an green label on or near a component indicates that the
component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the Blade unit and operating
system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while the
Blade unit is running. Green can also indicate touch points on hot-swap components.
See the instructions in this chapter and the Installation and User’s Guide(s) on the
Resource CD for removing or installing a specific hot-swap component and for any
additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the
component.
• You do not have to turn off the Blade unit to install or replace any of the hot-swap
modules on the rear of the Blade unit.
• For a list of supported options for your SBCE unit, go to
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/blade.htm.
System reliability guidelines
Attention: To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
• Each of the I/O bays on the rear of the SBCE unit has either a module or filler module
installed.
• A removed hot-swap module is replaced with an identical module or filler module
within 1 minute of removal.
• A removed hot-swap blade server is replaced with an identical blade server or a filler
blade within 1 minute of removal.
• The ventilation areas on the sides of the switch module are not blocked.
• You have followed the reliability guidelines in the documentation that comes with the
SBCE unit.
