system. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the outlet is
correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (1)
CAUTION:
The 3534 Model F08 switch is designed to be installed by the customer, and is
certified as ″customer setup″. Make sure that the system or rack into which
the switch will be installed is also designed and certified for customer setup;
if it is not, then the switch must be installed by a CE. (1)
Safety inspection
Perform the following safety checks to identify unsafe conditions. Be cautious of
potential safety hazards that are not covered in the safety checks. If unsafe
conditions are present, determine how serious the hazards are and whether you
should continue before correcting the problem.
CAUTION:
The 3534 Model F08 switch is designed to be installed by the customer, and is
certified as ″customer setup″. Make sure that the system or rack into which
the switch will be installed is also designed and certified for customer setup;

2. Ensure that all latches and hinges are in correct operating condition.
3. If the 3534 Model F08 is not installed in a rack cabinet, check for loose or
broken feet.
4. Check the power cord for damage.
5. Check the external signal cable for damage.
6. Check the cover for sharp edges, damage, or alterations that expose the
internal parts of the device.
7. Correct any problems that you find.
Checking the safety labels
Perform the following safety label checks:
1. Verify that the power supply cover caution label shown in Figure 1 is installed on
the power supply of the 3534 Model F08.
CAUTION:
Do not remove cover, do not service, no serviceable parts. (2)
2. Verify that the small form-factor pluggable device (SFP) label shown in Figure 2
and Figure 3 on page xi is installed on the 3534 Model F08.

Battery notice
CAUTION:
A lithium battery can cause fire, explosion, or a severe burn. Do not recharge,
disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), solder directly to the cell, incinerate,
or expose cell contents to water. Keep away from children. Replace only with
the part number specified for your system. Use of another battery may
present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery connector is polarized; do not
attempt to reverse the polarity. Dispose of the battery according to local
regulations. (3)

This unit might contain a single-mode or a multimode transceiver Class 1 laser
product. The transceiver complies with IEC 825-1 and FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and
1040.11. The transceiver must be operated under the recommended operating
conditions.
This equipment contains Class 1 laser products, and complies with FDA radiation
Performance Standards, 21 CFR Subchapter J and the international laser safety
standard IEC 825-2.
Usage restrictions
The optical ports of the modules must be terminated with an optical connector or

SAN Fibre Channel Switch: 3534 Model F08 Installation Guide

Chapter 1. Introduction
This chapter introduces the 3534 Model F08 and includes the following information:
vOverview of the 3534 Model F08
vSystem components
vManaging the 3534 Model F08
Overview of the 3534 Model F08
The 3534 Model F08 is an 8-port, dual-speed, auto-sensing fibre-channel switch. It
supports link speeds up to 2 Gbps, includes the Fabric Operating System (Fabric
OS), and is compatible and interoperable with the current series of 2109 and 3534
switches. It can operate as the only switch in the fabric or in a fabric that contains
multiple switches.
The 3534 Model F08 has an air-cooled chassis and can be installed either as a
stand-alone unit or mounted in a 1U 48.26 cm (19 in.) rack. It includes the following
features:
vEight optical ports, each with two light-emitting diodes (LEDs). One LED indicates
port status and the other indicates link speed.
vAutomatic negotiation to the highest common speed of all devices that are
connected to a particular port. The ports are:
–Compatible with small form-factor pluggable media (SFP)
–Universal and self-configuring
–Capable of individually becoming a fabric enabled port (F_port), a fabric loop
enabled port (FL_port), or an expansion port (E_port)
vOne serial port with an RS-232 connector.
vOne 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector and two LEDs.
One LED indicates port status and the other indicates link speed.
vTwo switch status LEDs, one on the front panel and one on the back, which
indicate the overall status of the switch.
vOne power supply without an ac switch.
vFive fan assemblies.
Note: The 3534 Model F08 contains no serviceable parts except the SFPs; see
Chapter 5, “Replacing an SFP”on page 25.
In addition, each 3534 Model F08 package includes:
vOne 3.048 m (10 ft) RS-232 serial cable, which you can convert to an RJ-45
connector by removing the adapter on the end of the cable.
vOne 1.8288 m (6 ft) power cable.
vFour rubber mounting feet, which you can use if you are installing the switch as a
stand-alone unit.
vOne power cable extender.
vOne rack mount kit, which you can use if you are installing the switch in a rack.
See Table 6 on page 11 for a list of the parts included in the kit.
vOne documentation CD-ROM.
vOne copy of this book, the IBM TotalStorage SAN Fibre Channel Switch 3534
Model F08 Installation Guide.

See Appendix A, “Product specifications”on page 27 for the 3534 Model F08
specifications.
System components
This section describes the front and back panels of the 3534 Model F08.
Front panel Figure 5 shows the front panel of the 3534 Model F08. The front panel contains the
following components:
vPower connector
vIP address label
vSerial port
vSwitch status LED
vFiber optic ports and their corresponding LEDs
vEthernet port and its corresponding LEDs
The ports on the front panel are color-coded in groups, indicating which ports can
be used in the same inter-switch link (ISL) Trunking group.
Note: ISL Trunking enables traffic to be distributed over the combined bandwidth of
up to four ISLs between two adjacent switches, while preserving in-order
delivery. It is managed through the software. For information about ISL
Trunking, see the IBM TotalStorage SAN Fibre Channel Switch 3534 Model
F08 User’s Guide.
Back panel Figure 6 on page 3 shows the back panel of the 3534 Model F08. The back panel
contains fans and the switch status LED.
