Brocade 5300 overview
The Brocade 5300 is an 80-port 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps Fibre Channel switch that delivers Brocade sixth generation ASIC technology and
architecture for Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). The Brocade 5300 is designed for the needs of enterprise environments
that require a high-port footprint for port aggregation.
With its high auto-sensing port count and ports-on-demand exibility, the Brocade 5300 is an ideal solution as a fan-out switch from a
director core, or as the core switch in a fabric. The Brocade 5300 satises demanding Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS),
performance and scalability requirements of an enterprise switch while delivering interoperability and ease-of-use advantages found only
in the Brocade product family. The Brocade 5300 is the latest enterprise oering from the Brocade family of entry-to-enterprise
products, and oers the following features and capabilities:
• Up to 80 auto-sensing ports of high-performance 8 Gbps technology in a single domain.
• Ports On Demand scaling from 48 to 64 or 80 ports.
• Full 1:1 subscription on all 80 ports at 8 Gbps.
• 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch and router ports.
• FICON and FICON Control Unit Port ready.
• Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) service, which provides improved scalability and fault isolation, along with multi-vendor
interoperability through the optional Integrated Routing license.
• Two hot-swappable, redundant power supply FRUs.
• Three hot-swappable fan FRUs in an N+1 conguration to provide hardware-redundant cooling.
• Universal ports that self-congure as E, F, M or FL ports. Ex_Ports are activated on a per port basis with the optional Integrated
Routing license.
• An RJ45 Ethernet management port, in conjunction with EZSwitchSetup, that supports switch IP address discovery and
conguration, eliminating the need to attach a serial cable to congure the switch IP address and greatly increasing the ease of
use.
• USB port that provides storage for rmware updates, output of the supportSave command and storage for conguration
uploads and downloads.
• A system motherboard that features a Freescale MPC8548 Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) CPU running at 1.3 GHz
with integrated peripherals, and that provides high performance with low power consumption.
• Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable), which allows up to eight ports (at 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps speeds) between a pair of
switches combined to form a single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 64 Gbps (128 Gbps full duplex) for optimal bandwidth
utilization and load balancing.
• Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to
the most ecient available path in the fabric.

53-1000858-07 13

• Rack-mount design using existing rail kits (xed, sliding, and mid-mount/Telco rail kits) on a 19" EIA rack.
• Industry-leading extended distance support, which enables native Fibre Channel extension greater than 590 km (366 miles).
• Brocade Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or SFP+ optical transceivers that support any combination of Short Wavelength
(SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL), or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical media among the switch ports.
• Unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data trac type support.
• Brocade Fabric Operating System (FOS), which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and enables a wide
range of value-added applications including Brocade Advanced Web Tools and Brocade Zoning. Optional Fabric Services
include: Adaptive Networking with QoS, Brocade Extended Fabrics, Brocade Enhanced Group Management, Brocade Fabric
Watch, ISL Trunking, Integrated Routing, and End-to-End Performance Monitoring (APM).
• Port-to-port latency minimized to 2100 nanoseconds through the use of cut-through frame routing at 8 Gbps.
• Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)
• The Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard that makes SAN conguration a three-step point-and-click task.

Brocade 5300 Management
You can use the management functions built into the Brocade 5300 to monitor the fabric topology, port status, physical status, and
other information to help you analyze switch performance and to accelerate system debugging.
The Brocade 5300 automatically performs power-on self-test (POST) each time it is turned on. Any errors are recorded in the system
error log. For more information about POST, see POST and boot specications on page 69.
For information about upgrading the version of Fabric OS installed on your switch, see the Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide
You can manage the Brocade 5300 using any of the management options listed in the following table.

NOTE
To achieve in-band support for IP over Fibre Channel, the software must be run on both the HBA and the switch, and it must be
supported by both the HBA and HBA driver.
Ports on Demand license
The Brocade 5300 has 80 ports. By default, ports 0-47 are enabled. As your needs increase, you can activate unlicensed ports by
purchasing and installing the Brocade Ports on Demand (POD) optional licensed product. After it has been installed, the license appears
in the licenseShow command output as Ports on Demand license .
To install a Ports on Demand license, you can either use the supplied license key or generate a license key. Typically the switch is shipped
with a paper pack that species the transaction key to use with the Software License Keys link. Use this transaction key on the Brocade
Web site at www.brocade.com /licensekeys and follow the instructions to generate the key. You can also use this site to generate other
license keys for your switch.
After you have installed the license keys, you must enable the ports. You can do so without disrupting switch operation by using the
portEnable command on each port individually. Alternatively, you can disable and re-enable the switch to activate all ports
simultaneously.

Power precautions
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure the following:
• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes.
DANGER
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the device
to connect it to the power source.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specied by the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
• This switch might have more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both power cords before
servicing.
DANGER
Remove both power cords before servicing.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
• This product is designed for an IT power system with phase-to-phase voltage of 230V. After operation of the protective device,
the equipment is still under voltage if it is connected to an IT power system.
DANGER
To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.
• The power supply standards provided in Power supply specications on page 82
RTC battery
Do not attempt to replace the real-time clock (RTC) battery. There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced or disposed
of. Contact your switch supplier if the real-time clock begins to lose time.
DANGER
Batteries used for RTC/NVRAM backup are not located in operator-access areas. There is a risk of explosion if a battery
is replace by an incorrect type. Dispose of used components containing batteries according to the local ordinance and
regulations.
Environmental considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental requirements are met:
• At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the switch with the non-port side, which contains the air intake vents,
facing the cool-air aisle.
• All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intake of exhaust air.
CAUTION
Ensure that the airow direction of the power supply unit matches that of the installed fan tray. The power supplies
and fan trays are clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an "E", or an orange arrow with an "I."
