ESD precautions ESD precautions The Brocade 6505contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive FRUs. When working with any Brocade 6505 FRU, use correct ESD procedures. CAUTION Before plugging a cable into to any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to ground surface. CAUTION Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices.
RTC battery RTC battery Do not attempt to replace the real-time clock (RTC) battery. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced or disposed of. Contact your switch supplier if the real-time clock begins to lose time. DANGER Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Recommendations for cable management • The additional weight of the switch does not exceed the rack’s weight limits or unbalance the rack in any way. • The rack is secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an earthquake. DANGER Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over. Recommendations for cable management The minimum radius to which a 50 micron cable can be bent under full tensile load is 5.1 cm (2 in.).
Standalone installation for a Brocade 6505 Standalone installation for a Brocade 6505 Complete the following steps to install the Brocade 6505 as a standalone unit. 1. Unpack the Brocade 6505 and verify the items listed in Items included with the Brocade 6505 on page 17. Verify the items are present and undamaged. 2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet onto the switch helps prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting surface.
Creating a serial connection failure. Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6 inches available and are routed to avoid stress. 2. Power on the power supplies by flipping both AC switches to the "I" symbol. The power supply LEDs display amber until power-on self-test (POST) is complete, and then change to green. The switch usually requires several minutes to boot and complete POST. NOTE Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned on. 3.
Setting a static IP address Setting a static IP address 1. Log in to the switch using the default password (which is password). 2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address. If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as prompted. As you enter a value and press Enter for a line in the following example, the next line appears. For instance, the Ethernet IP address appears first.
Local time synchronization • System services that have already started will reflect the time zone changes only after the next reboot. • Time zone settings persist across failover for high availability. Local time synchronization You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) switch to a maximum of eight external Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers.
Setting time zones Setting time zones You must perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set. However, you only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile memory. Use one of the two following procedures to set the time zone. The first procedure requires you to select the actual time zone and the second requires you to select the country location of the switch.
Brocade Inter-Switch Link trunking The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name: switch:admin> tsclockserver "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net" Updating Clock Server configuration...done. Updated with the NTP servers Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.
Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes The Brocade 6505 can function in either Fabric OS Native mode or Brocade Access Gateway mode. The switch is shipped in Fabric OS Native mode by default. • You can enable Access Gateway mode using Fabric OS commands or Web Tools. • All additional POD licenses must be installed before you can enable Access Gateway mode.
Enabling Access Gateway mode Enabling Access Gateway mode Note the following when enabling Access Gateway mode: • After you enable Access Gateway mode, some fabric information is erased, such as the zone and security databases. • Enabling Access Gateway mode is disruptive because the switch is disabled and rebooted. • Ensure that no zoning or Admin Domain (AD) transaction buffers are active.

Brocade 6505 LEDs Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete. Brocade 6505 LEDs The Brocade 6505 has the following LEDs: • • • • One system status LED (upper) on the left side. One power status LED (lower) on the left side. Two Ethernet port LEDs (one amber, one green).
LED patterns NOTE The two LEDs on the serial console port are non-functional. FIGURE 7 LEDs on the non-port side of Brocade 6505 1.

Interpreting POST results Interpreting POST results POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset. During POST, the LEDs flash either amber or green. Any errors that occur during POST are listed in the error log. Complete the following steps to determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were detected. 1. Verify that the switch LEDs indicate that all components are healthy.
Brocade 6505 Operation Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. 2. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way.
Diagnostic tests Diagnostic tests In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the transceivers and cables in use. The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through a console set up to the serial connection to the switch.
