18. Press the Tab/Esc button. You have completed the installation of the 2109 Model S16 Switch. To do a quick check of the fibre-channel ports on the switch before returning the machine to the customer, see "Switch installation verification". Switch installation verification Perform this procedure to verify that all GBICs are installed and working correctly. 1. Turn off the switch. 2. Turn on the switch (if this is a dual power switch, turn on both power supplies). 3. Verify that the associated power supply LEDs are on. 4. Wait two minutes while the POST diagnostics run. 5. Verify that the switch-ready LED is on. 6. Plug the appropriate wrap connector (black for shortwave and grey for longwave) into each GBIC. Verify that each associated port LED shows a slow green that flashes every two seconds. 7. If any of the previous checks fail, see "Chapter 4. Maintenance action plans" on page 33. If not, return the machine to the customer. Code upgrade procedure The 2109 Model S16 Switch is shipped with the latest level of code. When new code is released, it can be easily downloaded to the switch. This task requires saving the data and executable software to the customer's server. The latest code can be obtained from the SAN Fibre Channel Switch Web site at: www.ibm.com/storage/fcswitch This Web site provides instructions for downloading the code and loading it on the switch. Loading new code to the switch can be done without disrupting the switch. To make the new code functional, the switch must be turned off and then turned on. Upgrade procedure You can download firmware to the switch from either a UNIX host or a Windows NT host. For a UNIX host, no special software is needed. For a Windows NT host, you need a daemon to support a remote shell (RSH) with the firmware on the Web site. This daemon is available from the Web site. Firmware download is by way of a remote procedure call (RPC) command running on top of transmission control protocol (TCP) between the switch and the host. Downloading firmware from a UNIX® host Perform this procedure to download new firmware. 1. Download the firmware from the Web site at: www.ibm.com/storage/fcswitch Remember the directory name where you save the code. Code can only be loaded to the switch over the Ethernet LAN port. 2. Start a Telnet session to the switch from a LAN-attached server that has connectivity to the switch. The command format is: Chapter 3. Installing the switch 31
