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.

Page 31: Switch Operating Features
Invisible Body Tag Switch Operating Features This chapter introduces the operating features of the EMC Connectrix DS-24M2 2 Gb/s fabric switch, including hardware features and components. It describes operator controls, management, service, and operation features, and hardware operations. Also provided is an overview of creating multiswitch fabrics with multiple switches.
Page 32: Overview
Internet connection to the Embedded Web Server interface installed on the switch. The DS-24M2 can be installed on a table or desk top, mounted in an EMC EC-1200 equipment cabinet, or mounted in any standard 19-inch equipment rack. The DS-24M2 implements Fibre Channel technology that provides high-performance scalable bandwidth (2 Gb/s), highly available operation, and high device population.
Page 33: Ds-24M2 Description
DS-24M2 from 8 ports to 16 ports to 24 ports. For more information on enabling the FlexPort feature: 1. Login into PowerLink at: http://powerlink.emc.com 2. Click the Services tab. 3. Select Asset Management Application under License Asset Management.

Web browser, CLI, and SNMP support. Support for all operating systems, HBAs, and drivers supported by the Connectrix ED-1032 in the current EMC Support Matrix. Front Panel Figure 1-1 illustrates the front view of the DS-24M2. From left to right, the switch front panel includes: Green power and amber system error LEDs.
Page 35 Switch Operating Features IML Button If you press and hold the IML button for three seconds, the switch performs an Initial Machine Load (IML), which takes approximately 30 seconds and: Resets the microprocessor and functional logic for the control processor (CTP) subsystem, causing a firmware reload from flash memory.
Page 36: Ctp
Rear Panel The switch rear panel (Figure 1-2) includes two power supply modules and an RS-232 maintenance port. Maintenance Port Power Supply Module 1 Power Supply Module 0 DS-24M2, Rear View Figure 1-2 Connectrix DS-24M2 User Guide...
Page 37 Switch Operating Features Power Supplies The switch contains two power supply assemblies with internal cooling fans. The redundant, load-sharing power supply assemblies step down and rectify facility input power to provide 3.3 volts direct current (VDC), 5 VDC, and 12 VDC to the control processor (CTP). The power supplies also provide input filtering, overvoltage protection, and overcurrent protection.
Page 38: Connectrix Service Processor
The Connectrix service processor and Connectrix Manager application are a dedicated hardware and software solution that should not be used for other tasks. EMC tests the Connectrix Manager application installed on the Connectrix service processor, but does not test other third-party software for compatibility .
Page 39: Hardware Features
Switch Operating Features Hardware Features The DS-24M2 is an enterprise-class Fibre Channel switch that provides high performance, high-availability connectivity, and enterprise-class manageability for an Open Systems environment.
