Note: The 3000-W power supplies provide power according to the input voltage. If they are in redundant
rather than combined mode at 110 VAC, they may be unable to provide adequate power to all modules
present in the system. See Appendix A, “Product Specifications,” on page 135.
Verifying Component Installation
About this task
Warning: Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent
exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic
interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air
through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear
covers are in place.
Note: Do not connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to the LAN until the initial switch configuration
has been performed. For instructions on configuring the switch, see the NX-OS Fundamentals
Configuration Guide.
For instructions on connecting to the console port, see “Connecting to the Console Port” on page 127.
To verify hardware operation, follow these steps:
Procedure
1. Verify that the face plates of all modules are flush with the front of the chassis, and the ejector levers
are fully closed and approximately parallel to the faceplate of the module.
2. Verify that any empty module slots have filler panels installed.
3. Verify that power supplies and the fan module are installed.
4. Check the power cable retainer of the power supplies, captive screws of fan module, and all
supervisor, switching, or services modules, and tighten any retaining screws to specification.
5. Ensure that the switch is adequately grounded as described in “System Grounding” on page 75,
and that the power cables are connected to outlets that have the required AC power voltages. See
Appendix A, “Product Specifications,” on page 135, for the required voltages.
6. Power on the switch by turning the power switches on the power supplies or PEMs to the on (|)
position or restoring power to the DC circuit, as required. The switch boots automatically.
Powering Up the Switch
Before you begin
Complete the steps in “Verifying Component Installation” on page 125 before powering up the switch.
About this task
To power up the switch, follow these steps:
Procedure
1. Power on the switch by turning the power switches on the power supplies or PEMs to the on (|)
position or restoring power to the DC circuit, as required. The switch boots automatically.
2. Listen for the fans; they should begin operating as soon as the switch is powered on.
CAUTION: Do not operate the switch without a functioning fan module except during the brief
fan module replacement procedure. The IBM c-type SAN switches and devices can operate for
only a few minutes without a functioning fan module before they begin to overheat.
