Page 27: Warnings And Cautions
The following warnings and cautions pertain throughout this guide. WARNING Trained service personnel only. This EMC product has more than one power supply cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all power supply cords before servicing. Ground circuit continuity is vital for safe operation of the machine.
Page 28 This product operates at high voltages. To protect against physical harm, power off the system whenever possible while servicing. WARNING In case of fire or other emergency involving the EMC product, isolate the product’s power and alert appropriate personnel. CAUTION Trained personnel are advised to exercise great care at all times when working on the EMC hardware.
Page 29 Warnings and Cautions Static Precautions EMC incorporates state-of-the-art technology in its designs, including the use of LSI and VLSI components. These chips are very susceptible to damage caused by static discharge and need to be handled accordingly. CAUTION Before handling printed circuit boards or other parts containing LSI and/or VLSI components, observe the following precautions: Store all printed circuit boards in antistatic bags.

The chapter describes management, service, and operation features, and hardware operations. Overview .....................1-2 Director Components ..............1-11 Embedded Web Server ..............1-16...
Page 32: Overview
Up to four directors are delivered in a EMC-supplied EC-1200 equipment cabinet. (Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 1-3.) The Connectrix service processor is mounted inside the front door of the cabinet.
Page 33: Ec-1200 Cabinet With Ed-64Ms And Connectrix Service Processor
ED-64M Director Operating Features Up to four ED-64Ms in a single EC-1200, providing up to 256 director-class ports per cabinet. Web browser , CLI, and SNMP support.

Page 36: High-Availability
If one power supply fails, the other supply handles the full load. Separate receptacles at the rear of the director provide facility input power to each supply. For full redundancy, input power for each receptacle should come from a different source. Connectrix ED-64M User Guide...
Page 37: Connectivity
A zone contains a set of devices that can access each other. A zone member can be a port or the WWN of ® the device attached to a port. (EMC recommends that zones contain only WWNs.) Ports and devices spread throughout switches in a multiswitch fabric can be grouped into the same zone.
Page 38: Security
ED-64M Director Operating Features Refer to the EMC Connectrix Enterprise Storage Network System Planning Guide for more information on creating a multiswitch fabric. Members of a zone can see each other, but members in different zones cannot. HBAs with EMC-approved device drivers will discover only those storage devices in their zone.
Page 39: Serviceability
ED-64M Director Operating Features Zoning — System administrators can create zones that provide director access control to increase network security, differentiate between operating systems, and prevent data loss or corruption. Zoning can be implemented in conjunction with server-level access control and storage device access control. Serviceability The ED-64M, Connectrix Manager, and Product Manager applications offer these serviceability features:...

Page 41: Director Components
ED-64M Director Operating Features Director Components The ED-64M Director’s modular design allows quick removal and replacement of field replaceable units (FRUs). Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4 show some of these FRUS, as well as some LEDs and connectors. (Refer to Connectors, Controls, and Indicators on page 2-4 for more information on the LEDs and connectors.) Power and System Error LEDs...
Page 42: Ctp Card
A backup CTP card can take over operation if the active card fails. Failover from a faulty card to the backup card is transparent to attached devices. A backup CTP card can be added while the director is powered on and operating. 1-12 Connectrix ED-64M User Guide...

UPM cards use non-Open Fiber Control (OFC) Class 1 laser transceivers that comply with Section 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Subpart (J) as of the date of manufacture.
Page 44: Power Supplies
264 VAC. A power switch (circuit breaker) that controls AC power distribution to both power supplies. The breaker is set manually, or is automatically tripped by internal software if thermal sensors indicate the director is overheated. 1-14 Connectrix ED-64M User Guide...
Page 45: Fan Modules
ED-64M Director Operating Features A 9-pin maintenance port that provides a connection for a local terminal or dial-in connection for a remote terminal. Although the port is typically used by authorized maintenance personnel, and for operations personnel to set IP addresses. An input filter and AC system harness (internal to the FRU) that provides the wiring to connect the AC power connectors to the power switch and power supplies (through the backplane).
Page 46: Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server is not intended to be the primary means of management for ED-64Ms. It is recommended that the Web Server be disabled (using Connectrix Manager). This is specially important if the ED-64M is configured to reside on a public LAN. 1-16 Connectrix ED-64M User Guide...
Page 47: Hardware Operations
ED-64M Director Operating Features Hardware Operations This section introduces hardware operations that affect the ED-64M. Updating Firmware The Connectrix service processor’s fixed disk can contain a library of firmware versions for downloading to any ED-64M managed by the Connectrix service processor. Because the CTP card contains two memory regions for storing firmware, new firmware can be loaded (sent) to the director without disrupting port operation.
Page 48: Iml Function
A Link Loss Status table appears. A gray square appears in the alert panel. The FRUs illustrated in the Hardware view disappear, and then reappear as the connection is reestablished. 1-18 Connectrix ED-64M User Guide...

These parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the director. Ordinarily, you do not need to change these values from their defaults. The only exception is the Preferred Domain ID.
Page 134: Switch Parameters
Set a Preferred Domain ID value in the range 1 through 31. (The default value is 1.) CAUTION The Domain ID must be unique for each director/switch in a fabric. If two directors/switches have the same Domain ID, the E_Ports (and the fabric) become segmented. Connectrix ED-64M User Guide...
Page 135 Configuring the Director When a director/switch comes on line with a preferred domain ID, it requests an ID from the fabric’s principal switch (indicating its preferred value as part of the request). If the requested domain ID is not allocated to the fabric, the domain ID is assigned to the requesting director/switch.
