Repair Information

Power-Off Procedure

NOTE: Powering the director off and on (performing a power cycle) resets all

logic cards and executes POSTs. When performing a power cycle, wait

approximately 30 seconds before switching power on.

NOTE: When the director is powered off, the operation of attached Fibre

Channel devices is disrupted. Do not power off the director unless directed to

do so by a procedural step or the next level of support.

To power off the director:

1. Notify the customer the director will be powered off. Ensure the

customer system administrator quiesces Fibre Channel frame

traffic through the director and sets attached devices offline.

2. Set the director offline (Set the Director Online or Offline on

page 4-43).

3. At the bottom rear of the director, set the power switch (circuit

breaker) to the down position. The director powers off.

4. If servicing the director, disconnect power cord(s) from the input

power module at the bottom rear of the director. This step is not

required when performing a power cycle.

IML, IPL, or Reset the Director

This section describes procedures to IML, IPL, or reset the Intrepid

6064 Director. An IML or reset is performed at the CTP front panel

using the IML or the RESET button. An IPL is performed from the

management server (Intrepid 6064 Element Manager application).

The SANpilot interface does not provide an IML, IPL, or director

reset function.

ATTENTION! A reset should only be performed if a CTP card failure is

indicated. Do not reset the director unless directed to do so by a procedural

step or the next level of support.

An IML and IPL are functionally equivalent. The operations do not

cause power-on diagnostics to execute and are not disruptive to Fibre

Channel traffic. Both operations:
