General Description

ordered from Ancor) be placed on each port populated with a GBIC so that the GBICs may be tested. Refer to the LED paragraphs later in this section and the Continuous Test paragraphs in the Troubleshooting section.

•LEDs indicate the status of the Switch and each port. Refer to the Front Panel LED paragraphs later in this section.

•The Switch contains an Ethernet connector that provides a connection to a management station. The management station, running the Ancor Switch Utilities or SNMP, provides a means to access such things as the Fibre Channel Management Information Base (MIB) and upgrade the control firmware held in the Switch’s Flash memory. Refer to the Chassis Back paragraphs later in this section and the Switch Management Section of this manual for more information.

•The Switch chassis is shipped from the factory physically configured with rubber feet on its bottom that allow it to sit on a flat surface and stack. Mounting brackets (in a separate packet shipped with the Switch) allow you to mount it in a 19-inch rack. When mounted in a rack, the Switch must be supported by rails or a shelf. Refer to the Installation section for the install procedure and the Reference Information appendix for the dimensions and type of rack.

Fibre Channel Ports

Refer to Figure 1-2. The 16 ports are numbered left to right 1 through 16. Ports 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, and 14 are F_Ports or FL_Ports depending on their use. These ports discover their function (F or FL_Port) each time the cabled node executes a Fibre Channel Login. Therefore, if the port cabling is changed from a connection to an N_Port to a connection to an NL_Port or vise-versa, the function of the connected Switch port will also change appropriately. These ports are marked on the chassis front with a small white triangle on each side of the chassis opening. The remaining Switch ports are F_Ports.

Port numbers are marked on the front of the chassis for a single-stage (one chassis) Switch fabric.
