Page 97: Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic Discharge To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices.
Page 98: Grounding Methods
Electrostatic Discharge Grounding Methods There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts: Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm 10 percent resistance in the ground cords.

Page 101: Power Supply Specifications
Technical Specifications Power Supply Specifications Table 7 lists power supply specifications. The power supply is universal and capable of functioning worldwide without using voltage jumpers or switches. It meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge voltage requirements. The power supply has its own built-in fan for cooling, pushing the air towards the front of the switch.
Page 102: Environmental Requirements
Technical Specifications Environmental Requirements Table 8 lists the environmental ranges that are acceptable when the switch is operating, and the acceptable ranges when the switch is not operating. Table 8: Environmental Requirements Condition Acceptable Range Temperature (operating) 10°C to 40°C Temperature (non-operating) -35°C to 65°C Humidity (operating)
Page 103: Memory Specifications
Technical Specifications Memory Specifications The switch utilizes the following memory. Main Memory (SDRAM): 32 MB per switch Flash Memory: Dual 8 MB Boot Flash: 512K bytes of 8-bit for system boot The centralized memory maximizes the overall switch throughput by guaranteeing full transmit and receive bandwidth to all Fibre Channel ports at all times.

Page 105: Glossary
glossary Glossary This glossary defines terms used in this guide or related to this product and is not a comprehensive glossary of computer terms. Glossary AL_PA Arbitrated Loop Physical Address; a unique 8-bit value assigned during loop initialization to a port in an arbitrated loop. Alias Address Identifier An address identifier recognized by a port in addition to its standard identifier.
Page 106 Glossary Bandwidth The total transmission capacity of a cable, link, or system. Usually measured in bps (bits per second). May also refer to the range of transmission frequencies available to a network. See also Throughput. BB_Credit Buffer-to-buffer credit; the number of frames that can be transmitted to a directly connected recipient or within an arbitrated loop.
Page 107 Glossary Community (SNMP) A relationship between a group of SNMP managers and an SNMP agent, in which authentication, access control, and proxy characteristics are defined. See also SNMP. Connection Initiator A port that has originated a Class 1 dedicated connection and received a response from the recipient.
Page 108 Glossary EIA Rack A storage rack that meets the standards set by the Electronics Industry Association. Enabled Zone Configuration The currently enabled configuration of zones. Only one configuration can be enabled at a time. End-to-end Flow Control Governs flow of class 1 and 2 frames between N_Ports. See also EE_Credit. Error As applies to Fibre Channel, a missing or corrupted frame, time-out, loss of synchronization, or loss of signal (link errors).
Page 109 Glossary FL_Port Fabric Loop Port; a port that is able to transmit under fabric protocol and also has arbitrated loop capabilities. Can be used to connect an NL_Port to a switch. FLOGI Fabric Login; the process by which an N_Port determines whether a fabric is present, and if so, exchanges service parameters with it.
Page 110 Glossary GBps GigaBytes per second (1,062,500,000 bytes/second). Host Bus Adapter; the interface card between a server or workstation bus and the Fibre Channel network. A Fibre Channel wiring concentrator that collapses a loop topology into a physical star topology. Nodes are automatically added to the loop when active and removed when inactive.
Page 111 Glossary Loop Initialization Primitive; the signal used to begin initialization in a loop. Indicates either loop failure or resetting of a node. Looplet A set of devices connected in a loop to a port that is a member of another loop. Management Information Base;...
Page 112 Glossary Phantom Address An AL_PA value that is assigned to an device that is not physically in the loop. Also known as phantom AL_PA. A twenty-bit public address created for an 8-bit loop device to allow public devices to access it. Phantom Device A device that is not physically in an arbitrated loop, but is logically included through the use of a phantom address.
Page 113 Glossary Public Device A device that can log into the fabric and support 20-bit addresses (or has 20-bit phantom addresses created for it by the switch). Public Loop An arbitrated loop that includes a participating FL_Port, and may contain both public and private NL_Ports.
Page 114 Glossary Single Mode The fiber optic cabling standard that corresponds to distances of up to 10 km between devices. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. An internet management protocol that uses either IP for network-level functions and UDP for transport-level functions, or TCP/IP for both. Can be made available over other protocols, such as UDP/IP, because it does not rely on the underlying communication protocols.
Page 115 Glossary Transmission Character A 10-bit character encoded according to the rules of the 8B/10B algorithm. Transmission Word A group of four transmission characters. Trap (SNMP) The message sent by an SNMP agent to inform the SNMP management station of a critical error.
Page 116 Glossary Zone Configuration A specified set of zones. Enabling a configuration enables all zones in that configuration. Zone A set of devices and hosts attached to the same fabric and configured as being in the same zone. Devices and hosts within the same zone have access permission to others in the zone, but are not visible to any outside the zone.
