2 Installation and safety considerations Electrical considerations To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure the following: • The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes. • The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on the switch nameplate. • The power supply standards provided in Table 7, “System power specifications” are met.
Standalone installation for a Brocade 6505 2 Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, for example, using cable channels on the sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable management. Following is a list of recommendations: NOTE You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers. • Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch. • Leave at least 1 m (3.
2 Cabinet installation for a Brocade 6505 4. Provide power to the switch as described in “Providing power to the switch” on page 8. ATTENTION Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see “Brocade 6505 configuration.
Brocade 6505 configuration 2 Complete the following steps to create a serial connection to the switch. 1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation. If the serial port on the workstation is RJ45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ45 connector into the RJ45 serial port on the workstation. 2.
2 Brocade 6505 configuration If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in semicolon-separated notation as a standalone command. switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64 IP address is being changed...Done. Date and time settings The Brocade 6505 maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) circuit. Date and time are used for timestamping log events.
Brocade 6505 configuration 2 All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server IP address in non-volatile memory. By default, this value is LOCL, the local clock server of the Principal (when FCS not enabled) or Primary (when FCS is enabled) switch. Changes to the clock server value on the Principal or Primary switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.
2 Brocade 6505 configuration 1. Log in to the switch using the default password (which is password). 2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows: Use timezonename to set the time zone by time zone ID, such as PST or Country/City. The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Central. The tsTimeZone command by itself display the current time zone.
Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes 2 Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric. Brocade Inter-Switch Link Trunking Brocade Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking groups of ISLs between adjacent switches.
2 Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes • Access Gateway simplifies SAN deployment by using N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV). NPIV provides Fibre Channel switch functions that improve switch scalability, manageability, and interoperability. For more information on Access Gateway, refer to the following: - For a list of F_Ports mapped to N_Ports by default, refer to “Access Gateway default port mapping” on page 37.
Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes 2 • Ensure that no zoning or Admin Domain (AD) transaction buffers are active. If any transaction buffer is active, enabling Access Gateway mode will fail with the error, “Failed to clear Zoning/Admin Domain configuration.” Use the following steps to enable Access Gateway mode using Fabric OS commands. 1.

3 LED activity interpretation LED activity interpretation System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch. There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. Flashing LEDs may be slow, fast, or flickering. The LED colors are either green or amber. Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests.

Verify that the transceiver is installed correctly and that the cable is connected correctly. Steady amber Receiving light or carrier, but not online. No action required.
3 Interpreting POST results POST The success or failure results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored through LED activity, the error log, or the command line interface. POST includes the following tasks: • Conducts preliminary POST diagnostics. • Initializes the operating system. • Initializes hardware. • Runs diagnostic tests on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory, statistics counters, and serialization.
Brocade 6505 maintenance 3 For information about all referenced commands, and on accessing the error log, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. For information about error messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference Manual. Brocade 6505 maintenance The Brocade 6505 is designed for high availability and low failure; it does not require any regular physical maintenance.

FIGURE 5 Installing a 16 Gbps SFP+ optical transceiver in the upper row port slot FIGURE 6 Installing an 8 Gbps SFP+ optical transceiver in the upper row port slot Diagnostic tests In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the transceivers and cables in use.
Brocade 6505 management 3 The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through a console set up to the serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loopback plugs. Diagnostic tests run at link speeds of 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps depending on the speed of the link being tested and the type of port.
