Laser Safety Information
Laser Safety Information
This product uses Class 1 laser optical transceivers to communicate over the fiber optic conductors. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) does not consider Class 1 lasers to be hazardous. The International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 825 Laser Safety Standard requires labeling in
English, German, Finnish, and French stating that the product uses Class 1 lasers. Because it is impractical to label the transceivers, the following label is provided in this manual.
The following warning applies to XPAK optical transceivers:

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the
Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

Preface
General Public License
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution and
Modification
1.
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the
Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

Preface
General Public License
3.
You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a.
You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b.
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c.
If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty
(or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the
Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
4.
You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a.
Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 xviii 59265-02 B
59265-02 B
Preface
General Public License and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b.
Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c.
Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5.
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
6.
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the
Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

Preface
General Public License
7.
Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
8.
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
9.
If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
10.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

11.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
12.
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS
NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE

PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
14.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED
TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER
PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR

ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. xxi
Preface

Chassis Controls and LEDs
Heartbeat LED (Green)
The Heartbeat LED indicates the status of the internal switch processor and the results of the power-on self test (POST). Following a normal power-up, the
Heartbeat LED blinks approximately once per second to indicate that the switch passed the POST and that the internal switch processor is running. In
maintenance mode, the Heartbeat LED remains lit. Refer to “Heartbeat LED Blink
for more information about Heartbeat LED blink patterns.
System Fault LED (Amber)
The System Fault LED lights up to indicate that a fault exists in the switch firmware or hardware. Fault conditions include POST errors, over-temperature conditions, and power supply malfunctions. The Heartbeat LED shows a blink code for POST errors and over temperature conditions. For more information, refer to
“Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns” on page 4-3
.
Maintenance Button
The Maintenance button, shown in
Figure 1-2 , is a dual-function momentary
switch on the front panel. Press the maintenance button to reset the switch, or to place the switch in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode sets the IP address to
10.0.0.1 and provides access to the switch for maintenance purposes when flash memory or the resident configuration file has been corrupted. For more information, see
“Recovering a Switch Using Maintenance Mode” on page 4-13 .
Resetting a Switch
To reset the switch, use a pointed tool to press and hold the Maintenance button for less than two seconds. The switch responds as follows:
1.
All the chassis LEDs light up except the System Fault LED.
2.
After approximately one minute, the POST begins, extinguishing the
Heartbeat LED.
3.
When the POST is complete, the Input Power LED lights up, and the
Heartbeat LED flashes once per second.
Placing the Switch in Maintenance Mode
To place the switch in maintenance mode:
1.
Isolate the switch from the fabric.
2.
Using a pointed tool, press and hold the Maintenance button for a few seconds until only the Heartbeat LED is lit. Hold the maintenance button until the Heartbeat LED goes out, and then release the button. The
Heartbeat LED remains lit while the switch is in maintenance mode.
To exit maintenance mode, and return to normal operation, press the
Maintenance button momentarily.

Fibre Channel Ports
Fibre Channel Ports
The QLogic 5800V Series switch has 20 Fibre Channel SFP ports and 4 Fibre
Channel XPAK ports. SFP ports are numbered 0–19 as shown in
. Each
SFP port is served by an SFP optical transceiver, and is capable of 1, 2, 4, or
8Gbps transmission. SFP ports are hot-pluggable and can self-discover both the port type and transmission speed when connected to devices or other switches.
The port LEDs are located above ports 0–9 and below ports 10–19. The port
LEDs provide port login and activity status information.
The XPAK ports are numbered 20–23 as shown in Figure 1-3 . Each XPAK port is
served by an XPAK optical transceiver or an XPAK switch stacking cable. An
XPAK port is capable of 12.75Gbps transmission or 25.5Gbps with the optional license key. XPAK ports are hot-pluggable and can self-discover transmission speed when connected to devices or other switches. The XPAK switch stacking cable is a passive cable and transceiver assembly that connect to other
XPAK-capable switches. The XPAK ports come with covers that must be removed before installing transceivers or cables. XPAK port LEDs are located to the left of their respective ports and provide port login and activity status.

Figure 1-3. Fibre Channel Ports
Each SFP port is capable of 1, 2, 4, or 8Gbps transmission, depending on the
SFP. SFP ports are hot-pluggable and can self-discover both the port type and transmission speed when connected to devices or other switches.
NOTE:
Setting an SFP port to 1Gbps that has an 8Gbps SFP transceiver will bring down the port.
The QLogic 5800V Series switch can be a 12-, 16-, 20-, or 24-port switch. For example, the base 12-port switch enables the four XPAK ports and SFP ports 0–7.
You can choose which ports are active using the mPort™ Technology feature in
Enterprise Fabric Suite. License keys are available from your authorized reseller to enable additional SFP ports, or to upgrade the XPAK ports to 20Gbps. For more information about license keys, refer to
“Feature Licensing” on page 2-5 .

Fibre Channel Ports
Port LEDs
Each port has its own Logged-In LED (L) and Activity LED (A) as shown in
.
Logged-In LED
Activity LED
Logged-In LED Activity LED
Figure 1-4. Port LEDs
Port Logged-In LED (Green)
The Logged-in LED indicates the logged-in or initialization status of the connected devices. After successful completion of the POST, the switch extinguishes all
Logged-In LEDs. Following a successful port login, the switch illuminates the corresponding logged-in LED, indicating that the port is connected and able to communicate with the attached devices. The Logged-In LED remains lit as long as the port is initialized or logged in. If the port connection is broken or an error occurs that disables the port, the Logged-In LED is not lit. For more information
about the Logged-In LED, refer to “Logged-In LED Indications” on page 4-7 .
Port Activity LED (Green)
The Activity LED indicates that data is passing through the port. Each frame that the port transmits or receives illuminates this LED for 50 milliseconds, which makes it possible to observe the transmission of a single frame.
Transceivers
The QLogic 5800V Series switch supports SFP optical transceivers for the SFP ports, and XPAK optical transceivers or XPAK stacking cables for the XPAK ports.
A transceiver converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to transmit and receive data. Duplex fiber optic cables plug into the SFP transceivers, which then connect to the devices. An SFP port is capable of transmitting at 1, 2, 4, or 8Gbps; however, the transceiver must also be capable of transmitting at these rates.
59265-02 B 1-5
1–General Description
Fibre Channel Ports
The SFP and XPAK transceivers are hot-pluggable. This means that you can remove or install a transceiver while the switch is operating without harming the switch or the transceiver. However, communication with the connected device will be interrupted. For more information about installing and removing transceivers, refer to
“Install the Transceivers” on page 3-5 .
Port Types
QLogic 5800V Series switches support generic ports (G_Port, GL_Port), fabric ports (F_Port, FL_Port), and expansion ports (E_Port). Switches come from the factory with all SFP ports configured as GL_Ports. The XPAK ports come from the factory configured as G_Ports. Generic, fabric, and expansion ports function as follows:
Port type
GL_Port
G_Port
FL_Port
F_Port
E_Port
TR_Port
Table 1-1. Fibre Channel Port Types
Description
Generic loop port—self-configures as an FL_Port when connected to a loop device, as an F_Port when connected to a single device, or as an E_Port when connected to another switch. If the device is a single device on a loop, the GL_Port will attempt to configure first as an
F_Port, then if that fails, as an FL_Port.
Generic port—self-configures as an F_Port when connected to a single device, or as an E_Port when connected to another switch.
Fabric loop port—supports a loop of up to 126 devices. An FL_Port can also configure itself during the fabric login process as an F_Port when connected to a single device (N_Port).
Fabric port—supports a single device.
Expansion port—expands the fabric by connecting switches. The switch self-discovers all inter-switch connections. For more information, see
“Multiple Chassis Fabrics” on page 2-6
.
Transparent routing port—expands the fabric by connecting an QLogic
5800V Series switch to a Brocade ® or Cisco ® remote fabric. The
TR_Port provides transparent communication between local fabric devices and remote fabric devices while maintaining separate fabrics.

Power Supplies and Fans
Power Supplies and Fans
The model 5800V switch is equipped with a single, non-replaceable power supply.
The model 5802V switch is equipped with dual, replaceable power supplies.
Model 5800V
The model 5800V switch has a single power supply that converts 100–240 VAC to
DC voltages for the various switch circuits. Internal fans provide cooling. The switch monitors internal air temperature, and therefore does not monitor or report fan operational status. Air flow is front-to-back. To energize the switch, plug the power cord into the switch AC receptacle and into a 100–240 VAC power source.
Model 5802V
The model 5802V switch has two, hot-pluggable power supplies that convert
100–240 VAC to DC voltages for the various switch circuits. Each power supply
has an AC power receptacle and two status LEDs as shown in Figure 1-7 :
The Power Supply Fault LED (amber) lights up to indicate that a power supply fault exists and requires attention.
The Power Supply Status LED (green) lights up to indicate that the power supply is receiving AC voltage and producing the correct DC voltages.

1–General Description
Switch Management
Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. QLogic firmware supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3, the Fibre Alliance Management Information
Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information
Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. You can format traps using SNMP version 1 or 2. For more information about SNMP, refer to the Simple Network Management Protocol
Reference Guide.
You must use the CLI to configure SNMP version 3. For more information about
SNMP version 3 and the related commands, refer to the Snmpv3user command in the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
Storage Management Initiative–Specification
SMI-S provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the SMI-S. Refer to the CIM Agent Reference Guide for more information.
File Transfer Protocols
FTP and TFTP provide the command line interface for exchanging files between the switch and the management workstation. These files include firmware image files, configuration files, and log files.

Planning
Consider the following when planning a fabric:
Devices
When planning a fabric, consider the number of devices and the anticipated demand. The number of devices will determine the number of ports that are needed, and in turn, the number of switches.
Consider the transmission speeds of your adapters and SFPs. The switch ports
0–19 support 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 4Gbps, and 8Gbps transmission speeds depending on the SFP.
NOTE:
Setting an SFP port to 1Gbps that has an 8Gbps SFP transceiver will bring down the port.
Consider also the distribution of targets and initiators. An F_Port supports a single device. An FL_Port can support up to 126 devices in an arbitrated loop.
59265-02 B 2-1
2–Planning
Device Access
Device Access
Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled through the use of zoning. Some zoning strategies include the following:
Separate devices by operating system.
Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in the fabric or that have classified data.
Separate devices into department, administrative, or other functional group.
Zoning divides the fabric to control discovery and inbound traffic. A zone is a named group of ports or devices. Members of the same zone can communicate with each other and transmit outside the zone, but cannot receive inbound traffic from outside the zone. Zoning is hardware-enforced only when a port/device is a member of no more than 8 zones whose combined membership does not exceed
64. If this condition is not satisfied, that port behaves as a soft zone member. You can assign ports/devices to a zone individually, or as a group by creating an alias.
A zone can be a component of more than one zone set. Several zone sets can be defined for a fabric, but only one zone set can be active at one time. The active
zone set determines the current fabric zoning. The switch maintains an orphan
zone set that contains zones that are not members of any other zone set.
A zoning database is maintained on each switch. Table 2-1
describes the zoning database limits, excluding the active zone set.

Performance
The QLogic 5800V Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 1, 2, 4, 8,10, or 20Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes. Each Fibre Channel port adapts its transmission speed to match that of the device to which it is connected prior to login, when the connected device powers up. Related performance characteristics include the following:
Distance
Consider the physical distribution of devices and switches in the fabric. Choose
SFP transceivers that are compatible with the cable type, distance, Fibre Channel revision level, and the device adapter. Each SFP port is supported by a data buffer
with a 16-credit capacity; that is, 16 maximum-sized frames. Table 2-2 lists the
approximate transmission distances at full bandwidth over fiber optic cables:

With Enterprise Fabric Suite, longer distances can be spanned at full bandwidth on SFP ports by extending credits to G_Ports, F_Ports, and E_Ports. Each port can donate 15 credits to a pool from which a recipient port can borrow. However,
SFP ports can borrow only from other SFP ports. XPAK ports cannot borrow or donate credits. The recipient port also loses a credit in the process. For example, you can configure an SFP recipient port to borrow 15 credits from one donor port for a total of 30 credits (15+15=30).

Bandwidth
Bandwidth is a measure of the amount of data that can be transmitted at a specified transmission rate. An SFP port can transmit or receive at nominal rates of 1, 2, 4, or 8Gbps depending on the device to which it is connected. These rates correspond to full-duplex bandwidth values of 212MB, 424MB, 850MB, and
1700MB respectively. XPAK ports transmit at a nominal rate of 10Gbps, which corresponds to a full-duplex bandwidth value of 2550MB. With a 20Gbps license key, XPAK ports can transmit at a nominal rate of 20Gbps (5100MB bandwidth).
Multiple source ports can transmit to the same destination port if the destination bandwidth is greater than or equal to the combined source bandwidth. For example, two 2Gbps source ports can transmit to one 4Gbps destination port.
Similarly, one source port can feed multiple destination ports if the combined destination bandwidth is greater than or equal to the source bandwidth.
In multiple chassis fabrics, each link between chassis contributes 424, 850, 1700,
2550, or 5100MB of bandwidth between those chassis, depending on the speed of the link. When additional bandwidth is needed between devices, increase the number of links between the connecting switches. The switch guarantees in-order delivery with any number of links between chassis.

Feature Licensing
License keys provide a way to expand the capabilities of your switch and fabric as your needs grow. Consider your need for the following features and arrange to purchase license keys from your switch distributor or authorized reseller:
The Enterprise Fabric Suite license provides access to the Enterprise Fabric
Suite graphical user interface that provides comprehensive fabric management for fabrics of four or more switches. This license enables you to download, install, and use Enterprise Fabric Suite on an unlimited number of workstations. Enterprise Fabric Suite is available with a 30-day trial license on the CD that is included with the switch product.
The port activation license activates additional SFP ports for a total of 16,
20, or 24 ports.
The 20Gb license enables the XPAK ports to transmit and receive at
25.5Gbps instead of the default 12.75Gbps.
Upgrading a switch is not disruptive, nor does it require a switch reset. To order a license key, contact your switch distributor or your authorized reseller. For more
information about installing a license key, refer to “Installing Feature License

Multiple Chassis Fabrics
Multiple Chassis Fabrics
Connecting switches expands the number of available ports for devices. Each switch in the fabric is identified by a unique domain ID, and the fabric can automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the Fibre Channel ports are self-configuring, you can connect QLogic 5800V Series switches in a wide variety of topologies. Transparent routing to a legacy fabric is also possible using
TR_Ports.
You can connect up to six QLogic 5800V Series switches through the XPAK ports, thus preserving the SFP ports for devices. This is called stacking. QLogic 5800V
Series switches divide the XPAK port buffer to balance traffic across the connection. The XPAK ports operate with any standard XPAK interface. You can also connect QLogic 5800V Series switches with other switches through the SFP ports in a wide variety of topologies. Consider your topology and cabling requirements.
Optimizing Device Performance
When choosing a topology for a multiple chassis fabric, consider the proximity of your server and storage devices, and the performance requirements of your application. Storage applications such as video distribution, medical record storage and retrieval, or real-time data acquisition can have specific latency or bandwidth requirements.
The QLogic 5800V Series switch provides the lowest latency of any product in its class. However, the highest performance is achieved on Fibre Channel switches by keeping traffic within a single switch instead of relying on ISLs. Therefore, for optimal device performance, place devices on the same switch under the following conditions:
Heavy I/O traffic between specific server and storage devices.
Distinct speed mismatch between devices such as the following:
An 8-Gbps server and a slower 4-Gbps storage device
A high performance server and slow tape storage device
For specific information about latency, refer to

Multiple Chassis Fabrics
Domain ID, Principal Priority, and Domain ID Lock
The following switch configuration settings affect multiple chassis fabrics:
Domain ID
Principal priority
Domain ID lock
The domain ID is a unique number (1–239) that identifies each switch in a fabric.
The principal priority is a number (1–255) that determines the principal switch, which manages domain ID assignments for the fabric. The switch with the highest principal priority (1 is high, 255 is low) becomes the principal switch. If the principal priority is the same for all switches in a fabric, the switch with the lowest
WWN becomes the principal switch.
The domain ID lock allows (false) or prevents (true) the reassignment of the domain ID on that switch. Switches come from the factory with the domain ID set to 1, the domain ID lock set to False, and the principal priority set to 254. For information about changing the default domain ID, domain ID lock, and principal priority parameters, refer to the Set Config Switch command in the QLogic 5800V
Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
If you connect a new switch (with its domain ID unlocked) to an existing fabric, and a domain ID conflict occurs, the new switch will become isolated as a separate fabric. However, you can remedy this by resetting the new switch or taking it offline then putting it back online. The principal switch reassigns the domain ID, and the switch will join the fabric.
NOTE:
Domain ID reassignment is not reflected in zoning that is defined by domain
ID/port number pair or Fibre Channel address. You must reconfigure zones that are affected by domain ID reassignment. To prevent zoning definitions from becoming invalid under these conditions, lock the domain IDs. Domain
ID reassignment has no effect on zone members defined by WWN.

Stacking
You can connect up to six QLogic 5800V Series switches through the XPAK ports, thus preserving the SFP ports for devices. This is called stacking. The following
2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-switch stacking configurations are recommended for best performance and redundancy. Each XPAK port contributes 1.275GB of bandwidth between chassis in each direction, which is equivalent to three SFP connections operating at 4Gbps. Upgrading the XPAK ports to 20Gbps is equivalent to 3 SFP connections operating at 8Gbps.

Cascade Topology
A cascade topology describes a fabric in which the switches are connected in series. If you connect the last switch back to the first switch, you create a cascade-with-a-loop topology as shown in
Figure 2-6 . The loop reduces latency
because any switch can route traffic in the shortest direction to any switch in the loop. The loop also provides failover if a switch fails.
Using 24-port QLogic 5800V Series switches, the cascade fabric shown in
has the following characteristics:
Each chassis link contributes up to 850MB of bandwidth between chassis,
1700MB in full duplex. However, because of the sequential structure, that bandwidth is shared by traffic between devices on other chassis.
Latency between any two ports is no more than two chassis hops.
Sixty-four Fibre Channel SFP ports are available for devices.

5800V Series switches, the mesh fabric shown in
characteristics:
Each link contributes up to 850MB of bandwidth between switches, 1700MB in full duplex. Because of multiple parallel paths, there is less competition for this bandwidth than with a cascade or a Multistage™ topology.

Transparent Routing
\
The transparent routing feature provides inter-fabric routing to allow controlled and limited access between devices on a QLogic 5800V Series switch (local) fabric and devices on a remote fabric consisting of noncompliant switches made by other vendors. For a list of switches that are supported in a remote fabric, see the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch Release Notes. This type of inter-fabric connection uses the Fibre Channel industry N-Port ID Virtualization
(NPIV), and makes local and remote devices accessible to each other while maintaining the local and remote fabrics as separate fabrics.
59265-02 B 2-13
2–Planning
Multiple Chassis Fabrics
You can configure transparent routing using QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Suite, or the CLI. However, only QuickTools and Enterprise Fabric Suite validate your entries, manage the zone mapping for the local fabric, and create a list of zoning commands that can be run in a script on an Brocade or Cisco SAN switch. For more detailed information, see the QLogic 5800V Series QuickTools Switch
Management User’s Guide, QLogic 5800V Series Enterprise Fabric Suite User’s
Guide, and the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line
Interface Guide.
You can connect multiple QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switches to one or more remote fabrics using multiple TR_Ports. Local and remote devices are identified by their respective port worldwide names. Consider the following mapping rules:
A TR_Port can support a maximum of 32 local device/remote device mappings.
A specific local device can be mapped to devices on only one remote fabric.
Local devices on the same QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch can each be mapped to different remote fabrics.
For mappings between a specific QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel
Switch and a remote fabric, each local device or remote device can be mapped over only one TR_Port. Additional mappings to either device must use that same TR_Port.
Multiple local devices connected to different local switches can be mapped to the same remote device over one TR_Port on each local switch.
A local device cannot be mapped over an E_Port to another local switch, then over a TR_Port to the remote device. The local switch to which the local device is connected must connect directly to the remote fabric over a
TR_Port.
NOTE:
When a local device is mapped over a TR_Port to a remote device, the local device and its TR_Port appear as an NPIV connected device in the remote fabric. It is possible, though not recommended, to map such a local device over a second TR_Port to a local device in a second local fabric. In this case, if you merge the two local fabrics, the transparent route becomes inactive for the devices that now have a path over an ISL, and an alarm is generated.
2-14 59265-02 B
2–Planning
Multiple Chassis Fabrics
Because Cisco switches do not support the Unzoned Name Server, Cisco fabrics must be “pre-zoned” before you can set up TR mappings to a remote
Cisco fabric using the TR Mapping Manager dialog box. The Cisco fabric zone set must be changed to add zones so that the WWNs of the remote devices to be mapped and the WWNs of the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre
Channel Switch TR ports are zoned together. For more information, see the
Cisco documentation for specific information to configure zoning. Retain these zones in the zone set after completion of the TR mapping as a best practice, until you no longer need to map the device to the local fabric.
To configure transparent routing using QuickTools or Enterprise Fabric Suite:
1.
Determine what devices on the local fabric require access to devices on the remote fabric. Local devices must be attached directly to the QLogic 5800V
Series switch.
2.
Configure one or more TR_Ports on the local QLogic 5800V Series switch first and then connect the TR_Port to the remote fabric. The application prompts you to configure TR_Ports where existing port connections to remote fabrics have isolated. For remote Brocade or Cisco fabrics, the switch to which the TR_Port connects must support N-Port ID Virtualization
(NPIV) and for Brocade fabrics the interoperability mode must be configured to InteropMode=0. Other Brocade or Cisco switches in the remote fabric need not support NPIV.
NOTE:
Be sure to configure the TR_Port before connecting the remote fabric to the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch. If the remote fabric is connected to a port on theQLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel
Switch that is not a TR_Port, the two fabrics may establish an E_Port connection and the local and remote fabrics may merge. This mixed fabric is not a supported configuration. If the port type is changed to
TR_Port after connecting the remote fabric, a port reset may be required to completely establish the TR connection.
3.
Map local devices to remote devices and activate the connection. The mapping process creates an inter-fabric zone (IFZ) in the active zone set consisting of the local device, the remote device, and the TR_Port. When the mapping is complete, the new zone set is activated.
59265-02 B 2-15
2–Planning
Switch Services
The name of the inter-fabric zone begins with IFZ followed by the lowest device port WWN followed by the remaining port WWN, all uppercase, separated by underscores (_). For example, consider the following local and remote device WWNs:
Local device: 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:d3:59
Remote device: 22:00:00:04:cf:a8:7f:2d
The inter-fabric zone name would be:
IFZ_210000E08B0ED359_22000004CFA87F2D
4.
Apply the same inter-fabric zone that was created on the local fabric to the active zoning on the remote fabric. The application creates a suggested list of commands during the mapping process that, when run on a remote fabric consisting of Brocade or Cisco switches, will make the necessary zoning changes to the remote fabric. See the QLogic 5800V Series QuickTools
Switch Management User’s Guide or QLogic 5800V Series Enterprise
Fabric Suite User’s Guide for important details on creating and using this list of suggested commands. When modifications to the active zoning on both fabrics are complete, the transparent routing connection becomes active, and the local devices will discover the remote devices.
Switch Services
You can configure your switch to suit the demands of your environment by enabling or disabling a variety of switch services. Familiarize yourself with the following switch services and determine which ones you need.
Telnet: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet connection.
Disabling this service is not recommended. The default is enabled.
Secure Shell (SSH): Provides for secure remote connections to the switch using SSH. Your workstation must also use an SSH client. The default is disabled.
GUI Management: Provides for out-of-band management of the switch with
Enterprise Fabric Suite, QuickTools, the API, SNMP, and SMI-S. If this service is disabled, the switch can only be managed inband or through the serial port. The default is enabled.
Inband Management: Provides for the management of the switch over an inter-switch link using Enterprise Fabric Suite, QuickTools, SNMP, management server, or the API. If you disable inband management, you can no longer communicate with that switch by means other than an Ethernet or serial connection.The default is enabled.

Switch Services
Secure Socket Layer (SSL): Provides secure connections for Enterprise
Fabric Suite, the QuickTools Web applet, the API, and SMI-S. This service must be enabled to authenticate users through a remote authentication dial in-user service (RADIUS) server when using Enterprise Fabric Suite. To enable SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time on the switch and workstation. Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the switch. The default is enabled.
QuickTools Web applet (Embedded GUI): Provides access to the
QuickTools Web applet. QuickTools enables you to point at a switch with an
Internet browser and manage the switch through the browser. The default is enabled.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): Provides for switch management through third-party applications that use SNMP. Security consists of a read community string and a write community string that serve as passwords that control read and write access to the switch. These strings are set at the factory to well-known defaults, which should be changed if
SNMP is to be enabled. Otherwise, you risk unwanted access to the switch.
The switch supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3. The default is enabled.
Network Time Protocol (NTP): Provides for the synchronizing of switch and workstation dates and times through an NTP server. Synchronizing the workstation time helps to prevent invalid SSL certificates and timestamp confusion in the event log. The default is disabled.
Common Information Model (CIM): Provides for switch management through third-party applications that use SMI-S. The default is enabled.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Provides for rapid file transfer between the workstation and the switch using FTP. The default is enabled.
Management Server (MS): Enables or disables switch management through third-party applications that use GS-3 Management Server. The default is disabled.
Call Home: Provides for automated e-mail notification of switch status and operating conditions based on specified event severity levels. The Call
Home service is enabled by default. The Call Home service requires an
Ethernet connection to at least one SMTP server. In addition to enabling the
Call Home service, you must configure the following Call Home parameters:
Primary and secondary SMTP servers and their IP addresses
Contact information
One or more Call Home profiles to specify mail recipients, message format, and the event severity level that will initiate a message.
You can configure periodic event data collection and processing through the
Tech_Support_Center profile for automated status and trend analysis.

Internet Protocol Support
Internet Protocol Support
The switch supports IP version 4 (IPV4), IP version 6 (IPV6), and DNS host names. IPV4 and IPV6 are enabled by default. Consider your IP version requirements and the availability of a DNS server.
Security
Security is available at the following levels:
User Account Security
User account security consists of the administration of account names, passwords, expiration dates, and authority levels. If an account has Admin authority, all management tasks can be performed by that account in the CLI,
QuickTools, and Enterprise Fabric Suite. Otherwise, only monitoring tasks are available. The Admin account name is the only account that can create or add account names, and change passwords of other accounts. All users can change their own passwords. Account names and passwords are always required when connecting to a switch.
Authentication of the user account and password can be performed locally using the switch’s user account database or it can be performed remotely using a
RADIUS server such as Microsoft ® RADIUS. Authenticating user logins on a
RADIUS server requires a secure management connection to the switch. For information about securing the management connection, refer to
.
Consider your management needs, and determine the number of user accounts, their authority needs, and expiration dates. Also consider the advantages of centralizing user administration and authentication on a RADIUS server.
NOTE:
If the same user account exists on a switch and its RADIUS server, that user can log in with either password, but the authority and account expiration always come from the switch database.

Security
IP Security
IP security provides encryption-based security for IPv4 and IPv6 communications through policies and associations. Policies define security for host-to-host and host-to-gateway connections; one policy for each direction. For example, to secure the connection between two hosts, you need two policies: one for outbound traffic from the source to the destination, and another for inbound traffic to the source from the destination. A security association defines the encryption algorithm and encryption key (public key or secret) to apply when called by a security policy. A security policy can call several associations at different times, but each association is related to only one policy.
You must configure matching security associations on the switch and on the connected devices (peers) that require secure IP communication. To simplify the
IP security configuration process, the switch supports the Internet key exchange
(IKE). IKE is a protocol that automates the configuration of matching IP security associations on the switch and on the connected device (or peer). The IKE peer defines the IKE security association connection through which the IKE policy configures the IP security associations.The IKE policy defines the type of data traffic to secure between the switch and the peer, and how to encrypt that data.
You must create the same IKE peer and IKE policy configurations on the switch and the peer device.
Public key encryption requires a public key, a corresponding private key, and the necessary certificates to authenticate them. Public key infrastructure (PKI) provides support for the creation and management of public/private key pairs, signed certificates, and certificate authority (CA) certificates when using IKE. You can create a public/private key and combine it with one or more device identities to generate a certificate request. Submit the certificate request to a CA to obtain a signed certificate, which contains the authenticated public/private key pair. In addition to the signed certificate, you must also obtain a CA certificate to authenticate the CA. After downloading the signed certificate and a CA certificate to the switch and importing them into the PKI database, the signed certificate
(which contains the authenticated public key) can then be used to complete the
IKE peer configuration.
Consider your IP security requirements and the type of encryption you want to use
(public key or secret). Also consider which of the connected devices support IKE, and how you will configure IP security on both the switch and connected devices.
Port Binding
Port binding provides authorization for a list of up to 32 switch and device WWNs that are permitted to log in to a specific switch port. Switches or devices that are not among the 32 are refused access to the port. Consider what ports to secure and the set of switches and devices that are permitted to log in to those ports. For information about port binding, refer to the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel
Switch Command Line Interface Guide.

Security
Connection Security
Connection security provides an encrypted data path for switch management methods. The switch supports the SSH protocol for the command line interface and the SSL protocol for management applications such as Enterprise Fabric
Suite and SMI-S.
The SSL handshake process between the workstation and the switch involves the exchanging of certificates. These certificates contain the public and private keys that define the encryption. When the SSL service is enabled, a certificate is automatically created on the switch. The workstation validates the switch certificate by comparing the workstation date and time to the switch certificate creation date and time. For this reason, it is important to synchronize the workstation and switch with the same date, time, and time zone. The switch certificate is valid 24 hours before its creation date and 365 days after its creation date. If the certificate becomes invalid, create a new certificate using the Create
Certificate CLI command. For information about the CLI commands, refer to the
QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
Consider your connection security requirements: for the command line interface
(SSH), management applications such as Enterprise Fabric Suite (SSL), or both.
Access to the device security menu selections in Enterprise Fabric Suite requires an SSL connection. If an SSL connection security is required, also consider using the network time protocol (NTP) to synchronize workstations and switches.
Device Security
Device security provides for authorization and authentication of devices that you connect to a switch. You can configure a switch with a group of devices against which the switch authorizes new connections by devices, other switches, or devices issuing management server commands. Device security is configured through the use of security sets and groups.
A group is a list of device WWNs that are authorized to connect to a switch. There are three types of groups: one for other switches (ISL), another for devices (port), and a third for devices issuing management server commands (MS).
A security set is a set of up to three groups with no more than one of each group type. The security configuration is made up of all security sets on the switch. The security database has the following limits:
Maximum number of security sets is 4.
Maximum number of groups is 16.
Maximum number of members in a group is 1,000.
Maximum total number of group members is 1,000.
2-20 59265-02 B
2–Planning
Security
In addition to authorization, you can configure the switch to require authentication to validate the identity of the connecting switch, device, or host. Authentication can be performed locally using the switch’s security database, or remotely using a
RADIUS server such as Microsoft RADIUS. With a RADIUS server, the security database for the entire fabric resides on the server. In this way, the security database can be managed centrally, rather than on each switch. You can configure up to five RADIUS servers to provide failover.
You can configure the RADIUS server to authenticate just the switch or both the switch and the initiator device, if the device supports authentication. When using a
RADIUS server, every switch in the fabric must have a network connection. A
RADIUS server can also be configured to authenticate user accounts as
described in “Internet Protocol Support” on page 2-18
. A secure connection is required to authenticate user logins with a RADIUS server. For information about secure connections, refer to
“Connection Security” on page 2-20 .
Consider the your devices, switches, and management agents, and evaluate the need for authorization and authentication. Also consider whether the security database is to be distributed on the switches or centralized on a RADIUS server, and how many servers to configure.
The following examples illustrate how to configure a security database:

Fabric Management
The Enterprise Fabric Suite application runs on a management workstation and provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of multiple fabrics.
Supported platforms include Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X. Enterprise
Fabric Suite comes with a 30-day trial license—a permanent license is available for purchase from your authorized reseller.
The browser-based application, QuickTools, and the CLI reside in the switch firmware, and manage individual switches in a single fabric. Consider how many fabrics and switches will be managed, how many management workstations are needed, and whether the fabrics will be managed with Enterprise Fabric Suite,
QuickTools, or the CLI.
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins that are reserved as follows:
Four logins or sessions for internal applications such as management server and SNMP
Nine high priority Telnet sessions
Six logins or sessions for Enterprise Fabric Suite logins, QuickTools logins,
API logins, and Telnet logins.
Additional logins will be refused.

CAUTION!
If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature. Be sure to install the chassis in an environment that is compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature. For operating
temperature information, refer to “Environmental” on page A-7 .
Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16cm (6.5in) minimum clearance at the front and rear of the switch (surface mount) or rack for service access and ventilation.
Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit may overload that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring. Consider the power source capacity and the total power usage of all switches on the
circuit. For power specifications, refer to “Electrical” on page A-5
.
Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained from the switch chassis to the AC power source.
Install the Transceivers
The switch supports a variety of SFP and XPAK transceivers. To install a transceiver, insert the transceiver into the port, and then gently press until it snaps in place. To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the tension, pull the release tab or lever, and then remove the transceiver.
Different transceiver manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the documentation for your transceiver.
NOTE:
The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.

The switch responds in the following sequence:
1.
The chassis LEDs (Input Power, Heartbeat, System Fault) light up followed by all port Logged-In LEDs.
2.
After a couple of seconds, the System Fault LED goes out while the Input
Power LED and Heartbeat LED remain lit.
3.
After approximately one minute, the POST starts, and the Heartbeat LED is not lit.
4.
After approximately one minute, the POST is complete, and all LEDs are out, except the Input Power LED and the Heartbeat LED:
The Input Power LED remains lit, indicating that the switch logic circuitry is receiving DC voltage. If the LED is not lit, contact your authorized maintenance provider.

Power-On Self Test Diagnostics
Power-On Self Test Diagnostics
The POST diagnostic program performs the following tests:
Checksum tests on the boot firmware in PROM and the switch firmware in flash memory
Internal data loopback test on all ports
Access and integrity test on the ASIC
During the POST, the switch logs any errors encountered. Some POST errors are critical, others are not. The switch uses the Heartbeat LED and the Logged-In
LED to indicate switch and port status. A critical error disables the switch so that it will not operate. A non-critical error allows the switch to operate, but disables the ports that have errors. If two or more ports fail the POST, the entire switch is disabled. Whether the problem is critical or not, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
If there are no errors, the Heartbeat LED blinks at a steady rate of once per second. If a critical error occurs, the Heartbeat LED shows a blink pattern that indicates an error, and the System Fault LED lights up. If there are non-critical errors, the switch disables the failed ports and flashes the associated Logged-In
LEDs. For more information about Heartbeat LED blink patterns, refer to
“Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns” on page 4-3 .

Excessive Port Errors
The switch can monitor a set of port errors and generate alarms based on user-defined sample windows and thresholds. These port errors include the following:
Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors
Decode errors
ISL connection count
Device login errors
Device logout errors
Loss-of-signal errors
Port threshold alarm monitoring is disabled by default. For information about managing port threshold alarms, refer to the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel
Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
If the count for any of these errors exceeds the rising trigger for three consecutive sample windows, the switch generates an alarm, disables the affected port, and changes the port operational state to down. Port errors can be caused by the following:
Triggers are too low or the sample window is too small
Faulty Fibre Channel port cable
Faulty SFP
Faulty port
Faulty device or adapter
Review the event browser to determine if excessive port errors are responsible for disabling the port. Look for a message that mentions one of the monitored error types, indicating that the port has been disabled, and then do the following:

Removal/Replacement
This section describes the removal and replacement procedures for the following
FRUs:
SFP and XPAK transceivers
Power supplies for model 5802V switches
Transceiver Removal and Replacement
The SFP and XPAK transceivers can be removed and replaced while the switch is operating without damaging the switch or the transceiver. However, data transmission on the affected port will be interrupted until the transceiver is installed.
To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the tension, pull the release tab or lever, and then remove the transceiver. Different transceiver manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the documentation for your transceiver. To install, insert the transceiver into the port, and then gently press until it snaps in place.
NOTE:
The SFP and XPAK transceivers will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.

Power Supply Removal and Replacement
Power Supply Removal and Replacement
Model 5802V power supplies are hot-pluggable: you can remove or install one of the power supplies while the switch is operating without disrupting service. The power supplies are also interchangeable; that is, the left and right power supplies are the same unit.
CAUTION!
Both power supplies must have the same air flow direction to prevent the switch from overheating.
To avoid overheating, do not operate the switch with one power supply any longer than necessary.
When removing or replacing a power supply, consider the following:
The left and right power supplies are interchangeable. However, you must orient the power supply so that the AC receptacle is on the right.
Both power supplies must have the same air flow direction. The part number label on the power supply indicates the air flow direction.
When removing or replacing a power supply on an operating switch, be sure that the Heartbeat LED is blinking once per second (normal operation), so that the switch can correctly report the power supply status.
To remove a power supply, unplug the power supply, and then loosen the two
knurled fasteners with a cross-head screw driver, as shown in Figure 5-1
. Grasp the power supply handle, and then pull firmly to disengage the modular connector.
Slide the power supply out of its bay.
