Dell PowerEdge M520 Brocade 4424 Blade Server SAN I/O QuickStart Guide - Page 3

Overview This Quick Start guide is intended as an overview to help experienced installers unpack, install, and configure a Brocade 4424 switch quickly. For detailed installation and configuration instructions, see the Brocade 4424 Blade Server SAN I/O Module Hardware Reference Manual. Throughout this document, the Brocade 4424 Blade Server SAN I/O Module is referred to as the SAN I/O Module. NOTE Unpacking and installing the SAN I/O Module If the SAN I/O Module is installed in the Blade Server Enclosure that is shipped to you, skip this section. This section applies when installing a new module in an empty bay or replacing an existing SAN I/O Module. NOTE The SAN I/O Module is designed to work only in I/O bays B1/B2 and C1/C2 of the Dell M1000e Blade Server Enclosure. Make sure to comply with installation requirements in the Blade Server Enclosure Hardware Owner's Manual. Perform the following steps to remove the SAN I/O Module from its shipping package. 1. Open the shipping box and inspect the contents, making sure that nothing is missing or damaged. Do not insert a damaged SAN I/O Module into the Blade Blade Server Enclosure. If the SAN I/O Module appears to be damaged, contact your sales representative before proceeding. 2. Remove the cardboard accessory tray from on top of the SAN I/O Module. This tray contains the documentation, regulatory statements, product information guide, and Documentation CD. 3. Remove the SAN I/O Module from the box. The protective foam ends will slide out with the SAN I/O Module. 4. Remove the foam ends from the SAN I/O Module. 5. Be sure that you have taken the necessary precautions for electrostatic sensitivity; then break the seal warning. 6. Slide the SAN I/O Module out of the antistatic sleeve and inspect it carefully for any obvious defects or shipping damage. 7. Locate the label that specifies the part number for the SAN I/O Module. Make a note of the part number because the part number indicates whether the SAN I/O Module was configured at the factory in Access Gateway or Standard Full Fabric Switch mode. (More information on Access Gateway and Full-Fabric Switch mode is provided in "Configuring the SAN I/O Module" on page 6.) • If the part number is DL-4424-0003, then the SAN I/O Module is configured in Access Gateway mode. • If the part number is DL-4424-0001, then the SAN I/O Module is configured in Full Fabric Switch mode. Note that Full Fabric Switch mode is the default factory setting when the module is licensed for Dual Function mode. With Dual Function mode, you can enable the module for Access Gateway or Full Fabric Switch mode. 8. For complete instructions to install the SAN I/O Module into the Blade Server Enclosure, refer to the section on installing an I/O module in the Blade Server Enclosure Hardware Owner's Manual. 4424 QuickStart Guide Publication Number: 53-1000572-01 5 of 16
