IMPORTANT: Note the following when the 8G FC Switch is installed in a Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE). If more than one 8G FC Switch are installed in a Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE), install them one by one.
Page 132
According to the User’s Guide of the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE), remove the blank cover on the switch module slot into which the 8G FC Switch will be inserted. NOTE: For the procedure of removing a dummy module or blank cover from the switch module slot of the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE), refer to the User’s Guide attached to Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE).
Page 133
Push the ejector to lock the stopper. The 8G FC Switch is fixed. NOTE: The installation/removal procedures of the 8G FC Switch in/from a Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE) varies depending Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE). For the procedure, always refer to the relevant Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE).
Page 134
Removal Procedure Remove the 8G FC Switch from a Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE) according to the procedure described below. CAUTION Avoid installation in extreme temperature conditions. Immediately after the 8G FC Switch is powered off, its internal components and components in Blade Enclosure are very hot. Leave them until their internal components fully cool down before installing/removing any component.
Page 135
Take out the 8G FC Switch from the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE). IMPORTANT: Do not hold the ejector to remove the 8G FC Switch from the Blade Enclosure. Hold the 8G FC Switch itself and remove it from the slot. The ejector may break off, causing injury if the 8G FC Switch falls.
4-2. Installing/Removing SFP+ Module After the 8G FC Switch is installed in the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE), install SFP+ modules on external ports to connect with fibre channel peripherals. The 4/8G SFP+ module to the attachment in the product and the N8406-041 4/8G SFP+ module are only available. WARNING Do not view laser directly.
Page 137
Removal Procedure Pull down the lever on the SFP+ module. N8406-040/042 4/8G FC Switch SFP+ module Pull down the lever Hold the lever and pull out the module in the arrow direction shown in the figure. Pull-out direction IMPORTANT: Before the SFP+ module can be removed, the lever should always be lowered. If the SFP+ module is pulled out without the lever lowered, the SFP+ module and/or slot may be damaged.

Appendix: Setting Zoning Zoning Features After completing login to the console of the 8G FC Switch, provide proper setting for the zoning of the 8G FC Switch according to the procedure below. The 8G FC Switch has two zoning features, WWN mode zoning and port mode zoning. Port Mode Zoning: Port mode zoning is a feature to separate SFP+ ports by zone by specifying the Domain ID and the port number set in the 8G FC Switch.
Page 171
Miscellaneous (See page 157.) IMPORTANT: NEC intensely recommends that the port mode zoning is used. If the WWN mode zoning is used, zoning must be changed every replacement of a fibre channel device in such cases as maintenance replacement of connected devices. The port mode zoning does not require zoning resetting in maintenance replacement (as long as port numbers are not changed).
Page 172
Commands Associated with Zoning Item Command Description Creating zone Alicreate Creates zone aliases including specified ports and aliases WWPn’s. Aliadd Registers a port or WWPn to specified zone alias additionally. Alidelete Deletes specified port or WWPn from specified zone alias. Aliremove Removes specified port or WWPn from specified zone alias.
Page 173
Checking Current Zoning Type "cfgshow" command on the console screen. NOTE: Any commands used on the switch console should be specified with lowercase letters. The current zoning information appears. Without zoning information, skip to "Creating zone alias name" and following. With some zoning information, recheck setting change to take proper action.
Page 174
Creating Zone Alias Name The information on fibre channel devices connected to an 8G FC Switch can be changed to any names. A single zone alias name can include WWPn’s of fibre channel devices and port numbers (including domain IDs) of 8G FC Switch. Use the "alicreate"...
Page 175
Creating Zone Port mode zoning For port mode zoning, use the domain ID and port number of the 8G FC Switch to set zoning. 1) Checking domain ID Type "switchshow" command on the console screen. NOTE: Any commands used on the switch console should be specified with lowercase letters. The information on the status of 8G FC Switch appears.
Page 176
NOTE: Check the value of "switchname" in "switchshow" to check that the 8G FC Switch is subject to zoning. 2) Creating zone Use the "zonecreate" command to create a zone. Format of "zonecreate" command zonecreate "zonename" , "member;member;member" (1) zonename: Specify a zone name with it enclosed by double quotation marks (").
Page 177
NOTE: Confirm that all created zones appear by using the "zonecreate" command. After a zone name, ports contained in the zone appear. Confirm that the specified ports appear normally. WWN mode zoning For WWN mode zoning, use WWPn’s of the fibre channel devices connected to the 8G FC Switch to set the zoning.
