Preface xv
Preface
This publication is part of a documentation suite that supports the
McDATA®Sphereon 4500 Fabric Switch.
Who Should Use this
Manual Use this publication if you are a trained installation and service
representative experienced with the product, storage area network
(SAN) technology, and Fibre Channel technology.
The product contains no customer-serviceable parts that require
internal access to the product during normal operation or prescribed
maintenance conditions. In addition, refer to this manual for
instructions prior to performing any maintenance action.
Organization of this
Manual This publication includes six chapters and two appendices organized
as follows:
Chapter 1, General Information - This chapter describes the switch,
including field-replaceable units (FRUs), controls, connectors, and
indicators, and switch specifications. The chapter also describes
the maintenance approach, error detection and reporting features,
serviceability features, software diagnostic features, and tools and
test equipment.
Chapter 2, Installation Tasks - This chapter describes tasks to
install, configure, and verify operation of the switch, optional
Ethernet hub, and rack-mount management server.
Chapter 3, Maintenance Analysis Procedures - This chapter
describes maintenance analysis procedures (MAPs) to fault isolate
a switch problem to an individual FRU.

xvi McDATA Sphereon 4500 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Preface
Chapter 4, Repair Information - This chapter describes
supplementary diagnostic and repair procedures for a failed
switch. The chapter includes procedures to display and use log
information, perform port diagnostics, manage configuration
data, collect maintenance data, power-on, power-off, and reset
the switch, set the switch online or offline, block ports, manage
switch firmware, clean fiber optics, and install or upgrade
management server software.
Chapter 5, Removal and Replacement Procedures - This chapter
describes procedures to remove and replace switch FRUs.
Chapter 6, Illustrated Parts Breakdown - This chapter illustrates,
describes, and shows the location of switch FRUs. In addition,
switch FRUs are cross-referenced to corresponding part numbers.
Appendix A, Event Code Tables - This appendix provides an
explanation of event codes that appear at the EFCM Basic Edition
interface or Element Manager application. The event severity and
a recommended course of action in response to each event are
also provided.
Appendix B, Restore Management Server - This appendix provides
the instructions to restore all required switch applications to the
management server in case of a hard drive failure.
An Index is also provided.

Statement Product laser transceivers are tested and certified in the United States
to conform to Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
Subchapter J, Parts 1040.10 and 1040.11 for Class 1 laser products.
Transceivers are tested and certified to be compliant with
International Electrotechnical Commission IEC825-1 and European
Norm EN60825-1 and EN60825-2 regulations for Class 1 laser
products. Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. The
transceivers are designed to prevent human access to laser radiation
above a Class 1 level during normal operation or prescribed
maintenance conditions.

designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
in a residential environment. Any modification or change made to a
product without explicit approval from McDATA, by means of a
written endorsement or through published literature, invalidates the
service contract and voids the warranty agreement with McDATA.
