Introduction

Overview

The EMC® Connectrix® B Series AP-7600b is a 1U switch that is

capable of supporting storage virtualization and a fabric hosted data

and storage management solution. The switch has 16 1/2/4 Gbps

Fibre Channel ports and 2 physical Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports. It

includes the Fabric Operating System and is compatible with the

Connectrix B Series product family. It can operate independently or

in a fabric containing multiple switches. In addition to 16 Fibre

Channel ports supporting FCIP, the switch can have up to 16 virtual

ports (VE or VEX ports) available through the two physical GbE

ports. These internal ports are managed by virtualization software.

(Virtualization software and the internal ports are not described in

this document.)

Note: For compatability and interoperability information, please refer to the

EMC :Support Matrix and E-Lab™ Navigator on http://Powerlink.EMC.com.

Introduction

Table 2 describes the features of the AP-7600B switch.

Power supplies

The switch contains two 12 V, 300 W power supplies with dual speed

fans.

The power supplies are hot-swappable FRU, allowing 1+1 redundant

configurations. The unit is a universal power supply capable of

functioning worldwide without voltage jumpers or switches. The

fully enclosed, self-contained unit has internal fans to provide

cooling and is autoranging in terms of accommodating input

voltages.

If one power supply fails, the switch can continue to operate but the

failed power supply should be replaced as soon as possible.

The power supply provides three DC outputs (5V standby and 12V),

providing a total output power of 300 maximum usable watts. Each

power supply plugs directly into the enclosure from the port side of

the unit, mating to internal blind connectors that connect both the DC

outputs and the interface signals to the system backplane. An integral

on/off switch, input filter, and power indicator are provided in each

Table 2 System hardware features

Feature Description

1U or 4.4 cm (1.75 in.) chassis height Industry standard 1U chassis height

Two power supplies Redundant, hot swappable power supplies.

These are FRUs which can be replaced in the

field. If one power supply fails, the switch can

continue to operate but the failed power supply

should be replaced as soon as possible.

Three fans Redundant, hot-swappable FANs. These are

FRUs which can be replaced in the field. If a fan

fails, the switch can continue to operate unless

the switch temperature exceeds maximum

temperature, at which time, the switch will

shutdown. The failed fan should be replaced as

soon as possible.

Introduction

power supply, as well as a serial EEPROM device that provides

identifying information.

Multiprotocol ports

There are 16 ports (numbered 0 through 15, left to right). Each of the

16 ports are equipped with SFPs. The SFPs are hot-swappable and

use industry-standard local channel connectors. In Fibre Channel

mode, each port provides ISL and fabric (E and F respectively) type

connectivity that is automatically sensed and requires no

administration to identify the port type.

In addition to the 16 Fibre Channel ports, 16 internal ports (VE and

VEX), which are referred to as virtual or hidden ports are available.

These internal ports are managed by virtualization software.

Management ports

The switch provides 10/100 BaseT for switch management and two

10/100/1000 Ethernet ports for virtualization management. When a

device is connected to the port, both ends negotiate to determine the

optimal speed. The Ethernet port uses an RJ-45 connector. The

TCP/IP address for each port can be configured from the serial port.

Serial port

An RS-232 serial port is provided on the switch. The serial port uses

an RJ-45 connector. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at 9600

baud, 8 data bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None. This

connector is for initial IP address configuration and for recovery of

the switch to its factory default settings, should flash memory

contents be lost. The serial port connection is not intended for normal

administration/maintenance functions.

Managing the switch 19

Introduction

Managing the switch

You can use the management functions built into the switch to

monitor the fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other

information to help you analyze switch performance and to

accelerate system debugging.

The switch automatically performs power-on self-test (POST) each

time it is turned on. Any errors are recorded in the error log. For more

information about POST, see “POST and boot specifications” on

page 77.

You can manage the switch using any of the management options

listed in Table 3.
