Page 7: Command Syntax Conventions
Quality is our first concern at Dell EMC, and Dell EMC has made every effort to ensure the accuracy and completeness of this document. However, if you find an error or an omission, or you think that a topic needs further development, Dell EMC wants to hear from you. You can provide feedback using the networking-techpubs@Dell.com... -
Page 8: Switch Module Overview
– All external ports support connecting with another FC switch module through E_Port-to-E_Port mode or through N_Port (NPIV)- to-F_Port mode. – The external ports support an optional Dell EMC ISL Trunking license—included in the Enterprise model by default that trunks up to eight ports in a single port group when connected to another Dell EMC switch. -
Page 9: Supported Licenses
• One green and amber light-emitting diode (LED) on top of each port to indicate port status. • Fabric Insight is supported with the fabric vision license—included in the ENT model and ENT license for other models. • Does not support in-flight encryption or compression. •... -
Page 10: Nonport-Side View
You can group any two to eight ports within a trunk group to form a trunk. Trunking requires an ISL trunking license. Nonport-side view The nonport side of the switch module is not externally visible and is internally plugged into the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 chassis backplane. - Page 11 Table 3.

Page 12: Installation Preparation
Multiple switch modules installations The Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 chassis supports up to two FC switch modules in fabric C slot locations—C1 and C2. During configuration, you must assign the first switch module that you install a unique Ethernet IP address. By default, the switch modules use dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) for IP address assignment. -
Page 13: Electrical Considerations
• Remove the module from its package. Install it directly into the chassis without setting the module down. If you must set down the module, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the module on the chassis or on a metal surface. •... -
Page 14: Switch Module Installation Overview
Switch module installation overview Topics: • Blade server preparation • Switch module installation • Switch module replacement Blade server preparation Before you insert the switch module in the blade server chassis, meet the following conditions: • The blade server is powered up. •... - Page 15 Figure 4. Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 chassis back view with switch module slots marked PowerEdge MX7000 chassis back view Switch module slot C2 Switch module slot C1 Orient the switch module port side facing you. The module latch is on the right side.
- Page 16 Figure 5. Switch module orientation Backplane connectors Switch module top view Switch module latch in open position Open the release lever, and slide the switch module into the blade server chassis slot completely. You hear a click when the switch module is locked in the blade server chassis I/O module bay. If the power is on in the blade server chassis, locking the switch module in the module bay provides power and turn-ons the switch module and the LEDs.

Page 17: Switch Module Replacement
Switch module replacement If there is a switch module failure, you must remove and replace the switch module. NOTE: Before beginning this procedure, you must have a replacement switch module or filler blade available. Never leave the slot on the blade server chassis open for an extended time period. To maintain proper airflow, fill the slot with either a replacement switch module or filler blade. - Page 18 Figure 6. Release lever and latch Backplane connectors Switch module top view Switch module release lever and latch Slide the switch module out of the I/O module bay and set it aside. NOTE: If you do not insert a replacement switch module, to maintain proper airflow and cooling, use a filler blade to fill the empty slot.

Page 19: Transceiver And Cable Installation
To ensure the connectors function properly, clean and protect them from dust. To avoid problems with the connection between the SFP+ or QSFP optical transceivers and the fiber cable connectors, Dell EMC strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power. -
Page 20: Optical Transceivers
Do not overtighten the cable straps, or bend the cables to a radius of less than 5.08 cm (2 in.). • Dell EMC does not recommend tie wraps for optical cables because you can easily overtighten them. • Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Ensure that the cable is well supported. -
Page 21: Optical Transceiver Removal And Replacement
Optical transceiver removal and replacement Disconnect the cable from the SFP+/QSFP optical transceiver. NOTE: Your SFP+/QSFP optical transceivers may differ slightly from the optical transceiver shown in the following illustration, but the steps for removal are the same: Remove the SFP+/QSFP optical transceiver according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Insert the replacement SFP+/QSFP optical transceiver in the appropriate external port of the switch module. -
Page 22: Switch Module Monitoring
Switch module monitoring Topics: • Port-side LEDs • POST results • BOOT results • Diagnostic tests • Remove a license • Software upgrade or downgrade Port-side LEDs Each switch module uses bicolored external LEDs to indicate operation status. After you install the switch module in a blade server chassis I/O module, the LEDs become active. -
Page 23: Post Results

This information helps to troubleshoot the firmware download process if there is a problem. Enter the version command to determine the fabric OS version and other build information. Firmware upgrades are available for customers with support service contracts and for partners on the Dell EMC website at www.dell.com/support. - Page 25 NOTE: Do not interrupt the firmware download process. If you encounter a problem, wait for the 30 minutes time-out before issuing the firmware download command again. Disrupting the process; for example, by disconnecting the switch from the power source, can render the switch inoperable and may require you to seek help from your switch service provider.

Page 26: Initial Setup And Verification
Initial setup and verification Before you begin the switch module configuration, ensure that you configure the management GUI is correctly and that your workstation is properly connected. For more information, see the support documentation that comes with your blade server chassis. To configure and connect to the switch module, you need the following: •... -
Page 27: Static Ip Addresses
Static IP addresses Dell EMC recommends configuring the switch module through the blade server chassis management GUI, namely, Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Modular. Use this management GUI to configure the switch IP address and perform advanced configuration tasks. By default, the IP address mode is set to DHCP. - Page 28 Figure 12. Networking settings Click and expand the Management option. Specify a hostname and root password. Click Apply. Figure 13. Management settings Click and expand the Monitoring option. Select the Enable SNMP check box, the SNMP version, and enter a read community string. Click Apply.

Figure 15. Advanced settings Click Apply. You have configured the IP address and other settings for the switch module. Serial connection To log in to the switch module through the serial connection on the front panel, port-side view, perform the following steps: Connect the console cable with micro-USB connector to the console port on the switch module and to a USB port on the workstation. -
Page 30: Set Date And Time
Set date and time Use date and time settings for logging events, error detection, and troubleshooting. However, device operation does not depend on the date and time; a device with incorrect date or time values still functions properly. You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device to that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. -
