Installation of the Brocade DCX 8510-8 Blade Port numbering Trunking port groups FC8-32E port blade • 0 through 15 from bottom to top on the left set of ports. 16 through 31 from bottom to top on the right set of ports. • 0-7, 8-15, 16-23, and 24-31 0 through 23 from bottom to top on the left set of ports 24 through 47 from bottom to top on the right set of ports. • 0-7, 8-15, 16-23, 24-31, 32-39, and 40-47 0 through 31 from bottom to top on the left set of ports.
Chassis slots Blade Port numbering Trunking port groups FX8-24 blade Ports are numbered in groups: Up to three FC trunking groups are permitted. The three groups are defined as follows: • The FC ports are numbered from 0 through 11 in two vertical columns of six • Trunk group 0: FC ports 0, 1 ports starting from the bottom left and • Trunk group 1: FC ports 6, 7 bottom right in the lower group of 12 • Trunk group 2: FC ports 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, ports.
High-density cabling CAUTION Before plugging a cable into to any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to ground surface. • Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch. • Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
Installing ICL cables Installing ICL cables Refer to Inter-chassis link (ICL) cable removal and replacement on page 106 for the procedure to install the ICL QSFP cables.
