to set the IP address, see “Setting the switch IP address” on page 13.
Rack installation for a Brocade VDX 6720
Follow the installation instructions shipped with the appropriate rack mount kit:
• To install the switch into a 4-post fixed-rail rack, refer to the Fixed Rack Mount Kit (24”-32”)
Installation Procedure or the Fixed Rack Mount Kit Installation Procedure.
• To install the switch into a 2-post Telco rack, refer to the Flush Mount Rack Mount Kit
Installation Procedure.
Providing power to the switch
Perform the following steps to provide power to the Brocade VDX 6720.
1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies, and then to power sources on separate
circuits to protect against failure. Ensure that the power cords have a minimum service loop of
15.2 cm (6 in.) available and are routed to avoid stress.
2. Power on the Brocade VDX 6720-24 by turning both on/off switches to "I." The Brocade VDX
6720-60 powers up automatically when plugged in. The power supply LEDs display amber until
POST is complete, and then change to green. The switch usually requires several minutes to
boot and complete POST.
ATTENTION
Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered on.
3. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the left of the port side
of the switch are green. Refer to Figure 1 on page 4 and Figure 3 on page 5 for the specific
location of these LEDs.
Verifying operation
After you have powered the system on and POST is complete, verify that the switch is working
properly.
1. Verify that the power supply LEDs are solid green. See Figure 6 on page 23 and Figure 9 on
page 24 for the location of these LEDs.
2. Verify that the system power LED and the system status LED is solid green. See Figure 5 on
page 22 and Figure 7 on page 23 for the specific locations of these LEDs.
3. The port LEDs should be lit during POST activities. When POST is complete, only the LEDs for
ports connected to other devices should be green. See Figure 5 on page 22 and Figure 7 on
page 23 for the specific locations of these LEDs.
See Table 3 on page 24 and Table 4 on page 25 for more details on the LED patterns.
