General Safety
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.
•Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or makes the equipment unsafe.
•Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.
•Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that
your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
•Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing, or fasten it with a nonconductive clip,
approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
•Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing.
Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.
•Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching
springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
•After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety
device that is worn or defective.
•Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.
Electrical Safety
xxCAUTION:
Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be hazardous. To
avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the server system power cords,
telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the server covers, unless
instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.
✏ Important: Disconnect all power before performing a mechanical
inspection. Observe the following rules when working on electrical
equipment.
•Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord or power-off at the wall box that
supplies power to the machine and to lock the wall box in the off position.
•Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the
customer to power-off the wall box (that supplies power to the machine) and to lock the wall box
in the off position.
•Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.
•Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
•Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been
powered-off.
•Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are
moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.

Safety and regulatory information vii
•Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental inspection
mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.
Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (IC) should be considered sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between
objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the server, the part, the work
mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.
✏ NOTE
Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.
Make sure that the ESD-protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully
effective.
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
•Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.
•Avoid contact with other people.
•Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.
•Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing insulates and retains a charge even
when you are wearing a wrist strap.
•Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is
especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.
•Select a grounding system, such as those in the following list, to provide protection that meets
the specific service requirement.
✏ NOTE
The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage.
Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.
Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or
battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.
Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on AC-operated computers.

®Server Switch Module SBCEFCSW
You can manage and configure your Fibre Channel Switch Module through a Telnet connection to
the embedded command line interface (CLI) or by using the SAN Utility application. The SAN
Utility provides an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that you can use to configure multiple
Fibre Channel switch modules through other connected SAN devices from a single interface. The
SAN Utility application is referred to throughout this publication as the SAN Utility. The Fibre
Channel Switch Module is referred to throughout this publication as the switch module.
This Guide provides instructions to:
•Configure your switch module
•Manage fabrics, ports, and switch modules
•Use Telnet and the CLI to configure switch module parameters
You can manage the SBCE fabric through an Ethernet network using the SAN Utility or the CLI.
The SAN Utility is installed on a Microsoft®Windows®2003, Red Hat Linux®Advanced Server
Version 2.1 or Red Hat Linux Version 9.0.
The switch module has an embedded Telnet server through which a Telnet client can connect and
manage the switch module using the CLI. See “Command line interface (CLI)” for more
information about Telnet and CLI commands.
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The switch module firmware supports
SNMP Versions 1, 2, and 3; the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version
4.0; and the Fabric Element Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps are
formatted using SNMP version 2.
If you are an experienced user, you can use the Telnet CLI to perform the following tasks:
•Manage the switch module from the SBCE management module interface to the Telnet client
•Perform single switch management
•Use advanced control commands
If you are a new user or if you need to manage multiple switch modules from a single interface, you
can use the SAN Utility GUI to perform the following tasks:
•Manage your switch module from a remote client or network management workstation
•Manage your multiswitch fabric
For information about installing the switch module and the SAN Utility, see the Switch Module
Installation Guide that comes with the switch module.
Command line interface (CLI)
Your switch module contains an embedded Telnet server. This server enables a Telnet client to
establish a Telnet session with the switch module to retrieve information or to configure parameters
using the CLI. You can use the CLI to perform a variety of fabric and switch management tasks
through an Ethernet connection to your SBCE unit.
You can access the Telnet interface in two ways:

4 SBCEFCSW/SBFCM: HMM and Troubleshooting Guide

configuring your switch module, see the Fibre Channel Switch Module Installation Guide on the
Resource CD.
Logging on to a switch
To log on to a switch using Telnet, complete the following steps:
1. Open a command-line window on the network management workstation, type one of the
following commands, and press Enter.
For I/O module bay 3:
telnet 192.168.70.129
For I/O module bay 4:
telnet 192.168.70.130
A command prompt window opens.
2. At the Login prompt, type the initial default user ID, USERID. At the Password prompt, type
the initial default password, PASSW0RD (the sixth character is a zero, not the letter O). The user
ID and password are case sensitive.
This user account provides full access to the switch and its configuration. After planning your fabric
management needs and creating your own user accounts, consider changing the password for this
account. See “Commands” on page 5 for more information about authority levels. See the “User
command” on page 57 for information about creating user accounts.
✏ NOTE
The switch module supports a combined maximum of 15 logins. This includes the SAN
Utility in-band and out-of-band logins, Telnet out-of-band logins, and SNMP out-of-band
logins. A maximum of 10 SAN Utility logins are accepted. Additional logins will be refused.
Command syntax
The command syntax is as follows:
command
keyword
keyword [value]
keyword [value1] [value2]
The command is followed by one or more keywords. Consider the following rules and conventions:
•Commands and keywords are lowercase and case sensitive.
•Required keyword values are shown in standard font: [value]. Optional values are shown in
italics: [value].

Intel® Server Switch Module SBCEFCSW 5
•The underlined portion of each keyword indicates the abbreviated form that can be used. For
example the Delete keyword can be abbreviated Del.
Commands
The command set provides for User and Admin authority levels.
•User authority grants viewing access to the fabric and switches using the Show command and
other read-only commands.
•Admin authority includes the User authority and grants permission to use the Admin command.
The Admin Start command opens an admin session, which provides access to the commands
that change switch and fabric configurations. See the “Admin command” on page 7.
✏ NOTE
Admin authority is enforced only if fabric security is enabled on the switch. By default,
fabric security is disabled. See the keywords of the “Set Setup command” on page 34 for
information about setting fabric security.
The commands and their page numbers are listed by authority level in Table 1 on page 6 The
following Admin session commands have some keywords that are available with User authority:
Alias
Config
Date
Set
User
Zone
Zoneset
Zoning
