3. Turn the AC power switches on the power supplies to ON (I). The AC power switches light green
when switched on and power is supplied.
4. The DC04 SAN Director performs a Power-on Self-Test (POST) each time it is powered on. POST
takes approximately 10 minutes and is complete when the indicator light activity indicates the
operational state. For information about LED patterns, see
You can bypass POST by using the fastBoot command. You can also disable POST for
successive reboots on the DC04 SAN Director using the diagDisablePost command.
NOTE:
To prevent a potential IP address conflict, do not connect the DC04 SAN Director to the
network until the IP addresses are configured. See

Port numbering

The DC04 SAN Director uses the following port numbering method (see
"Port numbering
IMPORTANT:
Slots are numbered 1 through 8, from bottom to top. Control processor blades (CP8) can be installed
only in slots 4 and 5. Core switch blades (CR4S-8) can be installed only in slots 3 and 6.
• FC8-16 port blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from left to right.
• FC8-32 port blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from left to right on the bottom set of
ports and 16 through 31 from left to right on the top set of ports.
• FC8-48 port blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from left to right on the bottom set of
ports and 24 through 47 from bottom to top on the top set of ports.
• FC10-6 port blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 5 from left to right.
• FR4-18i router blade—The sixteen physical FC ports on this blade are numbered 0 through 15
from left to right. The two GbE ports are numbered from the bottom as Ge0 and Ge1. These ports,
when fully configured, enable sixteen VE_Ports or VEX _Ports and appear in the switchShow
command as ports 16 through 31.

Managing cables

NOTE:
The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 2 in. under full tensile load and 1.2 in. with no
tensile load.
A pair of vertical cable management finger assemblies provide routing paths to prevent cables from
hanging down in front of other blades. See
Follow these cabling recommendations:
• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace
the switch.
