Maintainability
Maintenance strategy
• Hot-pluggable CRUs per chassis module
– SFP & X2 transceivers
– I/O Blades (eight maximum, three types w/
Intermix)
– CPU Blades (two w/Model SB9200, one w/
Model SB9100)
– Power supply blades (two)
– Fan blades (two)
• Enhanced data integrity on all data paths
• Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) rerouting around
failed links
• Integration with SNMP managers
• Non-disruptive "hot" firmware code load and
activation (NDCLA)
• Easy configuration, save, and restore
• E-mail Call Home system initiated alarm/fault
notification
Maintenance access methods
• Single point in-band management with auto-
discovery across multiple switches via software
GUI
• One out-of-band Ethernet 10/100Mb BaseT
RJ-45 management port per CPU Blade, each
replicated on Maintenance Panel
• One RJ-45 serial port per CPU Blade (RJ-45 to
DB-9 conversion dongle included)
• FC-GS4 Management Server
Diagnostics
• Power-On Self-Test (POST) tests all functional
components except SFP and X2 transceivers
• Optional SANdoctor fabric diagnostics software
– FC Ping: verifies functional path existence
between two ports
– FC Trace Route: displays path information
between a source and destination
– Digital Diagnostics Monitoring: displays real-
time SFP, X2, and XPAK transceiver data
Visual user interface
• LED indicators on the Maintenance Panel, I/O
Blades, CPU blade(s), power supply blades, and
fan blades
Maintenance Panel (MP)
• Dual redundant Maintenance Panel EPROMs
maintain chassis-specific information (such
as WWN, SNMP system object ID, serial
number, part number, etc.), alternate Ethernet
management interface ports, and LED summary
status information for the switch
