THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL
STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT
SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE
OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Backplane and Clock Modules
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series includes one or more clock modules that are accessible from the back of
the chassis. The Cisco MDS 9513 and 9509 Directors have two field-replaceable clock modules for
redundancy and failover. The Cisco MDS 9506 Director has one field-replaceable clock module. In the
unlikely event of a clock module failure, the Cisco MDS 9500 Series generates an error message and a
switchover from one clock module to the other, causing the system to reset automatically. Cisco
recommends that the failed clock module be replaced during a maintenance window. See the “Removing
and Installing Clock Modules” section on page 2-76 for information on replacing clock modules.

Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Switch for IBM Blade Center
S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m .
Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Switch for IBM Blade Center
The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter is designed for IBM BladeCenter
environments. The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch is based on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family SAN
switching technology, which integrates the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of switches and directors into a
blade-switch architecture. The advanced architecture of the Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for
IBM BladeCenter, along with 4-Gb technology, provides outstanding performance between
Bladeswitches and the rest of the Fibre Channel infrastructure.
The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter provides 4-Gb Fibre Channel
performance to blade-server switching. It also provides network intelligence features such as virtual
SANs (VSANs), quality of service (QoS), and N-port interface virtualization (NPIV). It also offers
nondisruptive software upgrades and on-demand port activation and is the most complete embedded
Fibre Channel switching available for the IBM BladeCenter, BladeCenter-T, and BladeCenter-H
platforms.
The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter provides up to 20 nonblocking 1-, 2-,
and 4-Gb Fibre Channel ports that are available in two configurations: 7 internal ports and 3 external
ports, or 14 internal ports and 6 external ports. Each port provides line-rate performance up to 4-Gb
without any performance loss for integrated features such as VSANs, QoS, or Network Address
Translation (NAT). The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter supports up to 16
VSANs per blade switch.
Each external port on the Cisco MDS FC Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter also provides line-rate
performance up to 4-Gb for Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) or additional device connectivity such as storage
or host bus adapters (HBAs).
The Cisco NX-OS software provides role-based access control (RBAC) for management access of the
Cisco Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter command-line interface (CLI) and Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). For more information, see the Cisco 9000 Family Command
Reference.
Power Supplies
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports dual hot-swappable power supplies, each of which is capable of
supplying sufficient power to the entire chassis should one power supply fail. The power supplies
monitor their output voltage and provide status to the supervisor modules. To prevent the unexpected
shutdown of an optional module, the power management software only allows a module to power up if
adequate power is available.
The power supplies can be configured to be redundant or combined. By default, they are configured as
redundant, so that if one fails, the remaining power supply can still power the entire system. For
information about how to configure the power supplies, see the Cisco MDS 9000 CLI Family
Configuration Guide.

S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m .
Fan Modules
The Cisco MDS 9513 Director has a front panel fan tray with 15 fans with an abrupt stop-to-fan rotation
safety feature after power is disconnected or the fan tray is removed from the midplane. The Cisco MDS
9509 Director has a front panel fan module with nine fans and the Cisco MDS 9506 Director has a front
panel fan module with six fans.
Sensors on the supervisor module monitor the internal air temperature. If the air temperature exceeds a
preset lower-level threshold, the environmental monitor displays warning messages. If the air
temperatures exceeds a preset higher-level threshold, the switch will shut down.
If one or more fans within the module fail, the Fan Status LED turns red and the module must be
replaced. If the higher-level temperature threshold is not exceeded, the switch continues to run for five
minutes after the fan module is removed. This allows you to swap out a fan module without having to
bring the system down. For information on how to replace a fan module, see the “Removing and
Installing Fan Modules” section on page 2-68.
The fan module has one status LED that indicates the following conditions:
Caution
•
Green—Fan module is operating normally.
•
Red—One or more fans failed. Fan module should be replaced.
•
Off—Fan module is not properly seated in the chassis or power supply has failed.
The Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches have internal temperature sensors that are capable of shutting
down the system if the temperature at different points within the chassis exceed certain safety thresholds.
To be effective, the temperature sensors require the presence of airflow; therefore, in the event a fan
module is removed from the chassis, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches will be shut down after five
minutes to prevent potentially undetectable overheating. However, the switches will shut down sooner if
the higher-level temperature threshold is exceeded.
The Cisco MDS 9513 Director also has crossbar module fan trays located at the back of the chassis.
There is one fan per crossbar module. There is one LED that provides operational status. Figure 1-2
shows the fan status LED on the Cisco MDS 9513 Director. To replace these fan modules, see the
“Removing and Installing Fan Modules” section on page 2-68.
Supervisor Modules
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports two types of supervisor modules: Supervisor-1 and Supervisor-2
modules. Both the supervisor modules provide the control and management functions for the Cisco MDS
9500 Series. The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports two supervisor modules for redundancy. In the event
of an internal component failure, the standby supervisor module takes over, if installed. This section
discusses the following modules:
Note
•
Supervisor-2 Modules, page 1-17 (DS-X9530-SF2-K9)
•
Supervisor-1 Modules, page 1-21 (DS-X9530-SF1-K9)
The internal bootflash installed on the modules are not field-replaceable units. Do not remove or replace
internal bootflash on the modules. Modifying the factory installed bootflash is not supported.

Supervisor-2 Modules
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series offers redundant, hot-swappable, Supervisor-2 modules. (See Figure 1-12.)
Supervisor-2 modules can be used in the Cisco MDS 9509 and 9506 Directors in slots 5 and 6.
Supervisor-2 modules must be used in slots 7 and 8 of the Cisco MDS 9513 Director.
Supervisor-2 modules provide an integrated crossbar switching fabric to connect all the switching
modules when used in a Cisco MDS 9509 or 9506 Director. Single fabric configurations provide
720-Gbps full duplex speed with 80-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module. Dual fabric
configurations provide 1.4-Tbps speed with 160-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module. This
integrated crossbar switching fabric is disabled when a Supervisor-2 module is installed in a Cisco MDS
9513 Director. The Cisco MDS 9513 Director supports two external crossbar modules located at the rear
of the chassis that handle this function. (For more information, see the “Crossbar Modules” section on
page 1-25.)

Control and Management
The Supervisor-2 modules provide the following control and management features:
•
A redundant central arbiter that provides traffic control and access fairness.
•
A nondisruptive restart of a single failing process on the same supervisor.
A service running on the Supervisor-2 module keeps track of the high availability policy of each
process and issues a restart when a process fails. The type of restart issued is based on the process’s
capability:
– Warm or stateful (state is preserved)
– Cold or stateless (state is not preserved)
•
A nondisruptive switchover from the active Supervisor-2 to a redundant standby without loss of
traffic.
If the Supervisor-2 module has to be restarted, then the secondary Supervisor-2 (which is
continuously monitoring the primary) takes over. Once a switchover has occurred and the failed
Supervisor-2 has been replaced or restarted, operation does not switch back to the original primary
Supervisor-2, unless it is forced to switch back or another failure occurs.
Processor
The Supervisor-2 module has a processor running at 1.4 GHz. It contains a PowerPC class processor and
offers the following memory specifications:

– Configure the Cisco MDS 9500 Series from the CLI
– Monitor network statistics and errors
– Configure SNMP agent parameters
•
RS-232 COM1 port with a DB-9 connector, which can be attached to a modem.
•
Front panel triple speed (10/100/1000) management port with CTS function. This port is used as an
out-of-band management port. There are two LEDs associated with it. The Link LED on the left side
indicates the link status and the Activity LED on the right side blinks when there is traffic going
through this port.

Control and Management
The supervisor modules provide the following control and management features:
•
A redundant central arbiter that provides traffic control and access fairness.
•
A nondisruptive restart of a single failing process on the same supervisor.
A kernel service running on the supervisor module keeps track of the high availability policy of each
process and issues a restart when a process fails. The type of restart issued is based on the process’s
capability:
– Warm or stateful (state is preserved)
– Cold or stateless (state is not preserved)

If the kernel service cannot perform a warm restart of the process, it issues a cold restart.
•
A nondisruptive switchover from the active supervisor to a redundant standby without loss of traffic.
If the supervisor module has to be restarted, then the secondary supervisor (which is continuously
monitoring the primary) takes over. Once a switchover has occurred and the failed supervisor has
been replaced or restarted, operation does not switch back to the original primary supervisor, unless
it is forced to switch back or another failure occurs.
Crossbar Switching Fabric
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supervisor modules provide an integrated crossbar switching fabric to
connect all the switching modules. Single fabric configurations provide 720-Gbps full duplex speed with
80-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module. Dual fabric configurations provide 1.4-Tbps
speed with 160-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module.
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports redundant supervisor modules. Upon power up with slots 5 and 6
active, the supervisors negotiate to determine which one is active and which is the standby supervisor.
Each supervisor exchanges its own status and updates the signal quality error (SQE) status periodically.
If the active supervisor becomes disabled, the standby supervisor switches over to become the active
supervisor.
Dual supervisor modules provide dual crossbar switching fabrics for redundancy.
Processor
The Supervisor-1 module contains a Pentium III class processor. It has the following memory
specifications:

Port Interfaces
The Supervisor-1 module provides the following port interfaces:
•
RS-232 (EIA/TIA-232) console port with an RJ-45 connection that you can use to:
– Configure the Cisco MDS 9500 Series from the CLI
– Monitor network statistics and errors
– Configure SNMP agent parameters
•

Crossbar Modules
The Cisco MDS 9513 Director supports two external crossbar modules located at the rear of the chassis.
Each Supervisor-2 module has an associated external crossbar module for redundancy. The Supervisor-2
module in slot 7 is associated with crossbar module 1 and Supervisor-2 in slot 8 is associated with
crossbar module 2. Redundant crossbar modules act in an active-active method, where each switching
module forwards traffic across both crossbar fabrics based on the intended destination. The traffic load
is shared across both crossbar modules. Each crossbar fabric channel connects to a fabric interface ASIC
on the switching modules through serial links on the midplane. Each Supervisor-2 processor also has a
20-Gbps (40-Gbps FDX) link to each crossbar fabric for participating in management and control
protocols and for in-band diagnostics.
The LEDs on the crossbar modules indicate the status of the crossbar modules. Table 1-6 provides more
information about these LEDs.
For information regarding migrating to Generation 3 modules, see the “Migrating to Generation 3
8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Modules” section on page A-1.

Port Index Availability
The Cisco MDS 9500 Multilayer Directors are designed to operate with any combination of Cisco MDS
9000 modules. However, you should be aware of the maximum port availability your chassis can support.
A port index is an internally assigned number that Cisco NX-OS uses to switch data packets within the
director or fabric switch. When the maximum number of port indexes is reached in a chassis, any
modules remaining or added to the chassis will not boot up. The number of physical ports on a Fibre
Channel module is equal to its number of port indexes. However, for Gigabit Ethernet modules (IPS-8,
IPS-4, MPS-14/2, MSM-18/4, and MSFM 18/4), one physical port is equal to four port indexes (one port
index for iSCSI and three port indexes for FC IP tunnels). Table 1-8 lists the physical ports and port
indexes (virtual ports) available per Cisco MDS 9000 module.

Using any combination of modules that include a Generation 1 module or a Supervisor-1 module limits
the port index availability to 252 on all Cisco MDS 9500 Series directors. Generation 1 modules also
require contiguous port indexes where the system assigns a block of port index numbers contiguously
starting from the first port index reserved for the slot that the module is inserted in (See Table 1-9). This

means that while there may be enough port indexes available for a Generation 1 module, the module may
not boot up because the available port indexes are not in a contiguous range or the contiguous block does
not start at the first port index for a given slot.
Example 1-1 shows a scenario with a Supervisor-1 module, where a 48-port Generation 2 module
borrowed port indexes from the first slot. Slot 1 still has 16 port indexes available, but the full 32 indexes
are no longer available (28-31 are used by the module in slot 4). This means that no Generation 1 module
except a 16-port Fibre Channel switching module can be inserted into slot 1 because some of the port
indexes for the slot are already in use.

Using any combination of modules that include a Generation 1 module and a Supervisor-2 module
limits the port index availability to 252 on all Cisco MDS 9500 Series Directors. The Generation 1
modules can use any contiguous block of port indexes that start on the first port index reserved for any
slot in the range 0-252. (See Table 1-9.)
Using any combination of only Generation 2 with a Supervisor-2 module allows a maximum of 528 (with
an architectural limit of 1020) port indexes on all Cisco MDS 9500 Series Directors. Generation 2
modules do not need contiguous port indexes. Generation 2 modules use the available indexes in the slot
that it is installed and then borrow available indexes from the supervisors. If the module requires more
indexes, it starts borrowing available indexes from slot 1 of the chassis until it has the number of port
indexes necessary.

Enter the purge module CLI command to free up reserved port indexes after you remove a module.

– 48-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
– 24-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
– 4/44-port 8-Gbps Host-Optimized Fibre Channel Switching Module
•
Generation 2 modules
– 48-Port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
– 24-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

– 4-port 10-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
•
Generation 1 modules
– 32-Port 2-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
– 16-Port 2-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports up to eleven hot-swappable switching modules. By combining
different switching modules in a single, modular chassis, you can design cost and performance optimized
storage networks in a wide range of application environments.
The Fibre Channel switching modules provide system-wide power management and autonegotiation,
which allows ports to negotiate for speed at the other end of the link. Each module has temperature
sensors and an EEPROM that stores serial number and model number information.
The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Fibre Channel SFP and SFP+ transceivers,

Switching Module Features
Each switching module draws its power from the 42 V supplied on the backplane with local DC/DC
power converters and regulators.
The control processor on the switching module provides power-on, offline, and online diagnostics. The
control processor can be used for configuring devices on the switching module and to gather statistical
data from each port.
The control processor can determine which slot it is plugged into, and it can monitor its DC/DC power
source and temperature. The control processor signals the supervisor module and displays an alarm on
its front panel when a problem is detected.
The front panel on the switching module provides basic status information, such as power-on, self-test
running, self-test passed, alarm, and ready.
The binary image for the switching module is downloaded from the supervisor module. Prior to the
image download, the control processor on the switching module runs from code stored on its local
CompactFlash card.
Note
Routine software downloads are not required.
The supervisor module can force a reset on the switching module and controls whether power is applied
to the switching module.
If a single component or a set of components on the switching module fails, this does not disable other
switching modules if that is the only failure in the system.
Each switching module has a hardware watchdog timer for detecting most component failures. This
watchdog resets the card if is not serviced periodically.

14/2-Port Multiprotocol Services Module
The 14/2-port Multiprotocol Services (MPS-14/2) module provides 14 2-Gbps Fibre Channel
autosensing ports and two 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports for iSCSI and FCIP over Gigabit Ethernet. The
MPS-14/2 module supports the intelligent features available on other modules, including VSANs,
security, and traffic management.
The 14 2-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports (labeled 1 through 14) are best used for applications
requiring high bandwidth; for example, Inter-Switch Link (ISL) connections between switches and
high-performance host or storage controllers. Each Fibre Channel port supports a sustained data rate of
up to 2 Gbps in each direction.
The Cisco 9513 supports up to seven MPS-14/2 modules. The Cisco MDS 9509 supports up to seven
MPS-14/2 modules. The Cisco MDS 9506 supports up to four MPS-14/2 modules. The two Gigabit
Ethernet ports (labeled 1 and 2) provide 1-Gbps throughput for IP services, including iSCSI and FCIP
over Gigabit Ethernet. The MPS-14/2 also supports hardware-based encryption and compression for
these Gigabit Ethernet ports. This hardware-based encryption handles the computationally intensive
IPsec feature for IP services.
The MPS-14/2 modules support FCIP compression to maximize the effective WAN bandwidth of SAN
extension solutions. It achieves up to a 30 to 1 compression ratio, with typical ratios of 2 to 1 over a wide
variety of data sources. With the addition of hardware-based compression, the MPS-14/2 module is able
to provide optimal levels of compressed throughput for implementations across low-bandwidth to
high-bandwidth links.
The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the MPS-14/2 module support the iSCSI protocol, the FCIP protocol, or
both protocols simultaneously. For information about configuring the ports, see the Cisco MDS 9000
Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.
The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Fibre Channel SFP transceivers, which can be
short wavelength (SWL) for connectivity up to 1640 feet (500 meters), or long wavelength (LWL) for
connectivity up to 6.2 miles (10 km). All Fibre Channel interfaces are autosensing 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps
compatible. The Fibre Channel interfaces also support coarse wavelength-division multiplexing
(CWDM) SFP transceivers, which can be used for extended long wavelength (ELWL) transmission or
for CWDM. See the “Supported Transceivers” section on page 1-55.
Note
Cisco MDS 9500 Series switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.x, 3.x, or NX-OS Release
4.1(1b) support the MPS-14/2 module.

32-Port Fibre Channel Advanced Services Module
The Cisco MDS 9000 Family 32-port Fibre Channel Advanced Services Module (ASM) enables pooling
of heterogeneous storage for increased storage utilization, simplified storage management, and reduced
total cost of storage ownership. The ASM incorporates all the capabilities of the Cisco MDS 9000
DS-X9032 Fibre Channel switching module and also provides scalable, in-band storage virtualization
services. The module makes it possible to allocate bandwidth optimally.
The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Fibre Channel SFP transceivers, which can be
short wavelength (SWL) for connectivity up to 500 meters (1640 feet), or long wavelength (LWL) for
connectivity up to 10 km (6.2 miles). All interfaces are autosensing 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps compatible. The
port interfaces also support coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) SFP transceivers, which
can be used for extended long wavelength (ELWL) transmission or for CWDM. See the “Supported
Transceivers” section on page 1-55.
Note
Cisco MDS 9509 and 9506 Directors running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a) to Release 2.1(x)
support the Fibre Channel ASM. The Cisco MDS 9513 Director does not support the ASM.

Each module draws power from the 42 V supplied on the backplane with local DC/DC power converters
and regulators.
The control processor on the module provides power-on, offline, and online diagnostics. The control
processor can be used to configure devices on the switching module and to gather statistical data from
each port.
The control processor monitors the DC/DC power source and temperature. The control processor signals
the supervisor module and displays an alarm on its front panel when a problem is detected.
The front panel on the services module provides basic status information, such as power-on, self-test
running, self-test passed, alarm, and ready.
The binary image for the services module is downloaded from the supervisor module. Prior to the image
download, the control processor on the switching module runs from code stored on its local
CompactFlash card. The image for an ASM can be specified using the ASM-SFN boot variable. For
details on how to specify the ASM-SFN boot variable, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration
Guide.

Caching Services Module
The Caching Services Module (CSM) provides virtualization services that allow the Cisco MDS 9000
Family switches to reallocate physical resources as virtual resources for increased efficiency. The CSM
receives and sends data through the switch backplane. It has two disk drives, two internal batteries for
backup in case of power failure, and no external ports.
CSMs must be implemented in pairs in the fabric to provide redundancy and backup. Only two or more
CSMs in a fabric are supported. However, the CSMs do not have to be installed in the same switch.
The CSM may shut down because of the software, an external power failure, or the module separated
from the backplane while it still had power. The CSM automatically backs up the data in memory to the
disk drives and then shuts down. The CSM batteries provide adequate power to back up data without
external power.
Note
The Cisco MDS 9513 does not support the CSM.

Switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, or NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) support
combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers.
The transceivers are field-replaceable and hot-swappable. You can use any combination of SFP
transceivers that are supported by the switch. The only restrictions are that SWL transceivers must be
paired with SWL transceivers, and LWL transceivers with LWL transceivers, and the cable must not
exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
For more information about the X2 transceiver, see the “X2 Transceiver Specifications” section on
page D-19.
For more information about a specific Cisco SFP transceiver, see the “SFP and SFP+ Transceiver
Specifications” section on page D-22. SFP transceivers can be ordered separately or with the Cisco MDS
9500 Series.
Note
Use only Cisco transceivers in the Cisco MDS 9500 Series. Each Cisco transceiver is encoded with
model information that enables the switch to verify that the transceiver meets the requirements for the
switch.
X2 Transceivers
The X2 transceiver is a small form-factor transceiver optimized for 10-Gbps applications and uses an SC
connector. The X2 transceiver is ideally suited for Ethernet, Fibre Channel and telecom switches, and
standard (PCI) peripheral component interconnect based server and storage connections. The X2
provides robust thermal performance and electromagnetic shielding.

For more information about Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver specifications, see the “SFP
and SFP+ Transceiver Specifications” section on page D-22.
CWDM Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers
The Cisco CWDM SFP transceivers have LC connectors and support Gigabit Ethernet and
1-Gbps/2-Gbps Fibre Channel. They match the wavelength plan of Cisco CWDM GBICs and Cisco
CWDM optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs). Cisco 4-Gbps CWDM SFP transceivers are also
available.
CWDM SFP transceivers are used in the following ways:
•
CWDM transmission can send and receive up to eight laser wavelengths carrying different signals
simultaneously on the same optical fiber using an OADM.
•
ELWL signals can transmit over longer distances than LWL SFP transceivers.
There are eight different “colors” of CWDM SFP transceivers, one for each fixed wavelength. The
fiber-optic cables from the CWDM SFP transceivers must be connected to an OADM. The OADM
combines the wavelengths of the different outgoing signals into one composite send signal. The OADM
also separates the received transmissions into the different wavelengths and sends them to the
corresponding CWDM SFP transceiver.
For more information about CWDM SFP transceiver specifications, see the “SFP and SFP+ Transceiver
Specifications” section on page D-22.
Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers
The 4-port and 8-port IP Storage services (IPS-4 and IPS-8) modules provide four or eight 1-Gigabit
Ethernet ports that support Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers. The Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers
have RJ-45 connectors and support Gigabit Ethernet (1-Gbps).

Follow these guidelines when installing the Cisco MDS 9500 Series:
Note
•
Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. Cisco recommends
that you use the site planning tasks listed in Appendix F, “Site Planning and Maintenance Records.”
•
Ensure that there is adequate space around the switch to allow for servicing the switch and for
adequate airflow (airflow requirements are listed in Appendix D, “Technical Specifications”).
•
Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Appendix D,
“Technical Specifications.”
•
Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in Appendix C, “Cabinet and Rack
Requirements.”
Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. For more information, see the “Jumper Power
Cord” section on page E-11.
•
Ensure that the chassis is adequately grounded. Grounding the chassis is recommended in all cases,
and is mandatory for Cisco MDS 9506 Directors that have a DC power supply installed. If the switch
is not mounted in a grounded rack or cabinet, Cisco recommends connecting the system ground on
the chassis and the power supply ground to an earth ground, regardless of whether the power
supplies are AC or DC.
•
Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in Appendix D, “Technical
Specifications.” You can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power
failures.

Caution
•
Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable
with systems such as the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, which can have substantial current draw
fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns.
Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America:
– The 1900-W AC power supplies require a 20-A circuit.
– The 1900-W DC power supplies require a 70-A circuit.
– The 2500-W AC power supplies require a 20-A circuit.
– The 2500-W DC power supplies require a 100-A circuit.
– The 4000-W AC power supplies require a 30-A circuit.
– The 6000-W AC power supplies require two 220 V inputs at 20-A circuit.
If you are using 200/240 VAC power sources in North America, the circuits must be protected by
two-pole circuit breakers.
Caution
To prevent loss of input power, ensure that the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying
power are within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
•
Record your installation and configuration information as you work. See Appendix F, “Site Planning
and Maintenance Records.”
•
Use the following screw torques when installing the switch:
– Captive screws: 4 in-lb
– M3 screws: 4 in-lb
– M4 screws: 12 in-lb
– M6 screws: 20 in-lb
– 10-32 screws: 20 in-lb
– 12-24 screws: 30 in-lb

requirements; the required length depends on the proximity of the Cisco MDS 9500 to proper
grounding facilities.
– Crimping tool large enough to accommodate girth of lug.
– Wire-stripping tool.
•
For DC power supplies in a Cisco MDS 9506 Director, you need two 10-32 ring lugs for each DC
power supply.
•
For the Cisco MDS 9513 Director, you need a mechanical lift to handle the weight of the chassis.
Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch
Warning
Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with
both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent
damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the
power supplies or on the interface processors, or by the plastic panels on the front of the chassis.
These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis. Statement 5
Caution
Use a mechanical lift to lift the MDS 9513 chassis. The Cisco MDS 9513 Director can weigh up to 375 lb
(170 kg) when fully loaded, depending on what modules populate the chassis.
Caution
Cisco recommends that a third person assist whenever the chassis is being moved or lifted. The Cisco
MDS 9509 Director weighs approximately 170 lb (77 kg) when fully loaded, and the Cisco MDS 9506
Director weighs approximately 125 lb (57 kg) when fully loaded with all modules and power supplies.
Caution
When handling switch components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges only.
An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis must be
grounded either through the power cable, the chassis ground, or metal-to-metal contact with a grounded
rack.

Installing the Cisco MDS 9509 Director in a Rack
Caution
If connecting a Cisco MDS 9509 Director to a 110-VAC power system, ensure that sufficient power is
provided to meet the chassis power requirements for the number of modules installed.
When connected to 220 VAC, the 2500-W AC power supplies (DS-CAC-2500W) for the Cisco MDS
9509 Director are designed to provide an output power of 2331 W to power the modules and fans. When
connected to a 110 VAC power system, the power supply provides approximately 1150 W. In this case,
and if the power supplies are used in redundant rather than combined mode, they might not provide
adequate power, depending on the number of modules loaded in the chassis.
If a 110-VAC input is chosen, a 110-VAC power cord (CAB-7513AC=) must be ordered separately.

To install the Cisco MDS 9506 chassis in the rack using the rack-mount kit, follow these steps:
Step 1
Place all the parts and screwdrivers near the rack for easy access while attaching the switch to the rack.
Note
The front rack-mount brackets are shipped installed on the switch. If they have been uninstalled,
reinstall them on the switch using the M4 x 6-mm screws.
Step 2
Position a person at each side of the chassis. Grasp the bottom of the chassis and slowly lift the chassis
in unison, avoiding sudden twists or moves to prevent injury. Insert the rear of the chassis between the
front mounting rails (see Figure 2-9), supporting the switch inside the rack until the next step is
complete.
Step 3
If you are installing the optional cable management bracket, align the holes in the cable management
bracket with the holes in the front, right rack-mount brackets and the mounting rail. Ensure that the
chassis is level, and pass the screws through the cable management brackets and front rack-mount
bracket and into the mounting rail.
Note
Step 4
Because the fan tray is on the left side of the chassis, Cisco recommends using only the right
side for cable management. This allows easy removal of the fan tray if you need to replace a fan.
Align the holes in the front rack-mount bracket with the holes in the mounting rail, and ensure that the
chassis is level. Insert the 12-24 x 3/4-inch or 10-32 x 3/4-inch screws (depending on the type of holes
in the mounting rails) through the holes in the front rack-mount bracket and into the holes in the
mounting rails, using four screws per side.
Caution
Use a minimum of four screws per side to ensure that the switch is adequately supported by
the front rack-mount brackets.
System Grounding
This section describes the need for system grounding and explains how to prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge.
Proper Grounding Practices
Grounding is one of the most important parts of equipment installation. Proper grounding practices
ensure that the buildings and the installed equipment within them have low-impedance connections and
low-voltage differentials between chassis. When you properly ground systems during installation, you
reduce or prevent shock hazards, equipment damage due to transients, and data corruption. Table 2-4
lists grounding best practices.

Grounding Recommendations
Commercial building contains a Medium to high
mix of information technology
equipment and industrial
equipment, such as welding.
Appropriate grounding practices
must be closely followed.
Existing commercial building is Medium
not subject to natural

office environment. This
installation has a history of
malfunction due to
electromagnetic noise.
Appropriate grounding practices
must be closely followed.
Determine source and cause of
noise if possible, and mitigate as
closely as possible at the noise
source or reduce coupling from
the noise source to the victim
equipment.
New commercial building is not Low
subject to natural environmental
noise or man-made industrial
noise. This building contains a
standard office environment.
Appropriate grounding practices
should be followed as closely as
possible. Electromagnetic noise
problems are not anticipated, but
installing a best practice
grounding system in a new
building is often the least
expensive route and the best way
to plan for the future.
Existing commercial building is Low
not subject to natural

System Grounding
S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m .
Note
In all situations, grounding practices must comply with local National Electric Code (NEC)
requirements or local laws and regulations.
Note
Always ensure that all of the modules are completely installed and that the captive installation screws
are fully tightened. In addition, ensure that all I/O cables and power cords are properly seated. These
practices are normal installation practices and must be followed in all installations.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly
handled, results in intermittent or complete failures. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are
fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral
components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps protect the board from ESD. Always wear
an ESD grounding strap when handling modules.
Follow these guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
Note
•
Always wear an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it makes maximum contact with bare skin. ESD
grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. All MDS
9500 series chassis are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next
to the connector) somewhere on the front panel. Cisco recommends that you use a personal ESD
grounding strap equipped with a banana plug.
•
If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most FRUs or an ESD wrist strap
equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to
provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.
This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.
•
Note
If your chassis does not have the system ground attached, you must install the system ground lug.
For installation instructions and location of the chassis system ground pads, see “Establishing the
System Ground” section on page 2-22.
You do not need to attach a supplemental system ground wire to the system ground lug; the lug provides
a direct path to the bare metal of the chassis.
After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:
Step 1
Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:
a.
If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and
unwrap the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap
so that it makes good contact with your bare skin.
b.
If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove
the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your
bare skin.

Step 2
Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal
spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. Cisco recommends that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail
so that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.
Step 3
Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows (see Figure 2-10):
a.
Note
b.
If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws
open, position the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring
clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.
The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or
the lug barrel.
If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip
directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.

Establishing the System Ground
This section describes how to connect a system ground to the MDS 9500 series switches.
Note
This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.
You must use the system (NEBS) ground on both AC- and DC-powered systems if you are installing this
equipment in a U.S. or European Central Office.
The system (NEBS) ground provides additional grounding for EMI shielding requirements and
grounding for the low-voltage supplies (DC-DC converters) on the modules and is intended to satisfy the
Telcordia Technologies NEBS requirements for supplemental bonding and grounding connections. You
must observe the following system grounding guidelines for your chassis:
Note
•
You must install the system (NEBS) ground connection with any other rack or system power ground
connections that you make. The system ground connection is required if this equipment is installed
in a U.S. or European Central Office.
•
You must connect both the system (NEBS) ground connection and the power supply ground
connection to an earth ground. The system (NEBS) ground connection is required if this equipment
is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office.
•
For MDS 9500 series chassis that are equipped with DC-input power supplies, you must install the
system (NEBS) ground before you attach the source DC power cables to the DC PEM. If the chassis
is powered up, you must power down the chassis before attaching the system (NEBS) ground. If you
are installing the system (NEBS) ground on models of the MDS 9500 series chassis that are
equipped with either AC-input or DC-input power supplies, you do not need to power down the
chassis.
The system (NEBS) ground serves as the primary safety ground for the MDS 9500 series chassis that are
equipped with DC-input PEMs. The DC-input power supplies for these chassis do not have a separate
ground.
Required Tools and Equipment
To connect the ground system, you need the following tools and materials:
•
Grounding lug—A two-hole standard barrel lug. Supports up to 6 AWG wire. Supplied as part of
accessory kit.
•
Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8mm (metric) pan-head screws. Supplied as part of the accessory kit.

Connecting the Power Supplies, page 2-28
•
Powering Up the Switch and Verifying Component Installation, page 2-36
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing. Statement 1034
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the switch.
The 2500-W (DS-CAC-2500W) 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 D, “Technical Specifications.”
Connecting the Power Supplies
The Cisco MDS 9513 Director uses a 6000-W power supply. The 6000-W AC power supplies for the
Cisco MDS 9513 Director are designed to provide an output power for the modules and fans. Each power
supply has two AC power connections and will provide power as follows:
Note
•
One AC power connection @110 VAC = No output
•
Two AC power connection @110 VAC = 2900-W output
•
One AC power connection @ 220 VAC = 2900-W output
•
Two AC power connection @ 220 VAC = 6000-W output
Power output does not include the power used by the individual modules used in the chassis.
The Cisco MDS 9509 Director and Cisco MDS 9506 Director support both AC and DC power supplies.
The Cisco MDS 9506 Director uses power entry modules (PEMs) to provide power to its power supplies,
whether they are AC or DC (there is no power connector on the power supplies). The left PEM (as viewed
from the front of the switch) provides power to the upper power supply in the back of the Cisco MDS
9506 Director, and the right PEM provides power to the lower power supply.

Starting Up the Switch
S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m .
To power up the switch and verify hardware operation, follow these steps:
Step 1
Verify that the faceplates 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.
Step 2
Verify that any empty module slots have filler panels installed.
Step 3
Verify that both power supplies and the fan module are installed.
Step 4
If any optional CompactFlash cards are installed, verify that the ejector button is popped out.
Step 5
Check the captive screws of the power supplies, fan module, and all supervisor, switching, or services
modules, and tighten any loose captive screws.
Step 6
Ensure that the switch is adequately grounded as described in the “System Grounding” section on
page 2-17, and that the power cables are connected to outlets that have the required AC or DC power
voltages. See Appendix D, “Technical Specifications,” for the required voltages.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Listen for the fans; they should begin operating as soon as the switch is powered on.
Caution
Step 9
Do not operate the switch without a functioning fan module except during the brief fan module
replacement procedure. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches can operate for only a few
minutes without a functioning fan module before they begin to overheat.
After the switch has finished booting, verify that the LED behavior is as follows:
•
Fan module: Status LED is green.
•
Power supplies:
– Input OK LED is green.
– Fan OK LED is green.
– Output Fail LED is off.
•
Supervisor, switching, or services modules:
– The System LED on the supervisor module is green, indicating that all chassis environmental
monitors are reporting that the system is operational. If this LED is orange or red, then one or
more environmental monitor is reporting a problem.
– The Status LED on the switching or services modules flashes orange once, remains orange
during diagnostic boot tests, then turns green when the module is operational (online). If the
system software cannot start up, this LED remains orange or turns red.
Note
The LEDs for the Fibre Channel ports remain orange until the ports are enabled, and the
LED for the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port remains off until the port is connected.
If any LEDs other than the Fibre Channel port LEDs remain orange or red after the initial boot processes
are complete, see Appendix D, “Technical Specifications.”
Step 10
If a component is not operating correctly, try removing and reinstalling it. If it still does not operate
correctly, contact your customer service representative for a replacement.

Caution
To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by
the carrier edges only.
Note
Install the Cisco MDS 9500 Series chassis in the rack before installing modules. See the “Installing the
Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-6.
Note
In systems with redundant supervisor modules, you can replace the faulty supervisor while the system
is operating, provided that one supervisor is always operating.
Removing Supervisor Modules
To remove a Supervisor-1 or Supervisor-2 module from the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1
Shut down the crossbar switching fabric functionality in the supervisor module of the Cisco MDS 9509
and 9506 Directors by using the out-of-service module slot command (where slot refers to the slot
number for the Supervisor-1 or Supervisor-2 module where the integrated crossbar is located).
Step 2
Upload the current configuration to a server if the switch has only one supervisor module. For
information about the correct command, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
Step 3
Fail over to the standby supervisor if the switch has two supervisor modules and the supervisor you are
removing is currently active. For information on how to fail over a supervisor module, see the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
Step 4
Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.
Step 5
Loosen the two captive screws on the module being removed.
Step 6
Remove the module from the chassis as follows:
a.
Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously rotate the levers outward
to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
b.
Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module partially out of the slot. Place your other
hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.
Step 7
Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.
Step 8
Install a filler panel on an empty slot to keep the chassis dust-free and to maintain proper airflow through
the chassis.
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. Statement 1029

Installing Supervisor Modules
In a Cisco MDS 9513 Director, slots 7 and 8 are reserved for the Supervisor-2 modules. In the Cisco
MDS 9509 Director, slot 5 is reserved for the Supervisor-2 or Supervisor-1 module. In the Cisco MDS
9506 Director, slot 5 is reserved for the Supervisor-1 module. Slot 6 in the Cisco MDS 9509 and 9506
Directors is reserved for an additional redundant supervisor module in case the supervisor module in
slot 5 fails. See Figure 1-3 on page 1-6 and Figure 1-4 on page 1-7 for slot locations.
Supervisor-1 modules and Supervisor-2 modules cannot be used in the same switch, except for migration
purposes. Both the active and standby supervisor modules must be of the same type, either Supervisor-1
or Supervisor-2 modules. For Cisco MDS 9513 Directors, both supervisor modules must be Supervisor-2
modules.
Step 1
Before installing any modules in the chassis, Cisco recommends installing the chassis in the rack. See
the “Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-6.
Step 2
Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any cables or interface equipment that you want
to connect to the module.
Step 3
Verify that the captive screws are tightened to 8 in-lb on all modules already installed in the chassis. This
ensures that the EMI gaskets are fully compressed and maximizes the opening space for the module
being installed.
Step 4
If a filler panel is installed, remove the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler panel and remove
the panel. To remove a currently installed module, see the “Removing Other Switching and Services
Modules” section on page 2-45.
Step 5
Open both the ejector levers on the new or replacement module completely. (See Figure 2-22.)

has six fans and the Cisco MDS 9509 fan module has nine fans. The removal procedures differ slightly
while the installation procedures are the same for all types of fan modules.
You need a flat-blade or number 2 Phillips screwdriver to perform these procedures.
Note
Because the fan modules are located on the left side of the Cisco MDS 9500 Series, Cisco recommends
guiding the cables for the system out of the right side of the chassis.

Caution
The Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches have internal temperature sensors that are capable of shutting
down the system if the temperature at different points within the chassis exceed certain safety thresholds.
To be effective, the temperature sensors require the presence of airflow; therefore, in the event a fan
module is removed from the chassis, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches will be shut down after five
minutes to prevent potentially undetectable overheating. However, the switches will be shut down sooner
if the higher-level temperature threshold is exceeded.

Overview
Cisco MDS NX-OS 4.1(1b) supports the following Generation 3 8-Gbps modules:
•
MDS 9000 4/44-port 8-Gbps Host-Optimized Fibre Channel module (DS-X9248-48K9)
•
MDS 9000 24-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel module (DS-X9224-96K9)
•
MDS 9000 48-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel module (DS-X9248-96K9)
In addition, Cisco MDS NX-OS 4.1(1b) supports two fabric modules, which are also known as crossbar
modules, for the MDS 9513 Director:
•
MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module, DS-13SLT-FAB2
•
MDS 9513 Fabric 1 module, DS-13SLT-FAB1
The MDS 9513 Director requires Cisco MDS NX-OS 4.1(1b) and the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules to
support the MDS 9000 48-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel module and the MDS 9000 24-port 8-Gbps Fibre
Channel module. Two MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules can double the active backplane bandwidth of the
MDS 9513 Director to 192-Gbps full duplex per slot when used in conjunction with these two
Generation 3 modules.
The MDS 9513 Director requires Cisco MDS NX-OS 4.1(1b), but does not require the MDS 9513 Fabric
2 modules to support the MDS 9000 4/44-port 8-Gbps Host-optimized Fibre Channel module.

Usage Guidelines
S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m .
The MDS 9509 Director and the MDS 9506 Director also support the Generation 3 8-Gbps modules. The
switches require Supervisor-2 modules and Cisco MDS NX-OS 4.1(1b) to support the Generation 3
8-Gbps modules.
Note
To upgrade to NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) from SAN-OS Release 3.2(3a) or earlier, first upgrade to SAN-OS
Release 3.3(1x) and then upgrade to NX-OS Release 4.1(1b).
Usage Guidelines
In preparation for using the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module and the Generation 3 8-Gbps modules in an
MDS 9513 Director, be aware of the following usage guidelines:
•
Cisco SAN-OS release 3.x supports the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module.
•
Until you upgrade to Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b) and reload the switch, a MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module
functions like a MDS 9513 Fabric 1 module.
•
You cannot use any Generation 3 8-Gbps module in a MDS 9513 Director, MDS 9509 Director, or
MDS 9506 Director until you upgrade to NX-OS 4.1(1b).
•
Supervisor-2 modules are required for the MDS 9509 Director and the MDS 9506 Director to
support any Generation 3 8-Gbps module.
•
You must do the following to enable the increased bandwidth capabilities of the MDS 9513 Fabric
2 modules:
– Upgrade from Cisco SAN-OS 3.x to NX-OS release 4.1(1b).
– Migrate the existing MDS 9513 Fabric 1 modules in the MDS 9513 chassis to MDS 9513 Fabric
2 modules.
– Reload the switch to enable the increased bandwidth.
•
If you install just one MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module, the active slot bandwidth of MDS 9513 Director
is 96-Gbps full duplex.
•
Once you upgrade to Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b) and reload the switch, a downgrade to Cisco SAN-OS
release 3.x will be disruptive. Following the downgrade, the Generation 3 8-Gbps modules in the
switch will not power up.
Table A-1 lists the types of Generation 3 modules that the MDS 9513 Director supports.

Before You Begin Upgrading the MDS 9513 Director
The sections that follow present three procedures for readying an MDS 9513 Director to support the
Generation 3 8-Gbps modules. Before you begin one of these procedures, do the following:
1.
Review the steps involved in each procedure, and then choose the one that best fits your business
needs. In particular, decide which of the following you want to do:
•
Install the MDS 9000 4/44-port 8-Gbps Host-Optimized module and retain the MDS 9513
Fabric 1 module in the switch.
•
Install the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules and continue to run Cisco MDS SAN-OS 3.x software
in preparation for use of a Generation 3 module at a later time.
•
Install the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules for immediate use of any Generation 3 module.
Your choice will determine which procedure you should follow.
2.
3.
Observe the following differences in the MDS 9513 Fabric 1 and MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules:
•
The MDS 9513 Fabric 1 module, DS-13SLT-FAB1, has a light blue surface above the top-most
captive screw on the front of the module.
•
The MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module, DS-13SLT-FAB2, has a light pink surface above the top-most
captive screw on the front of the module.
Examine the slots for the fabric modules at the rear of the MDS 9513 chassis. The left slot is marked
Fabric 1 and the right slot is marked Fabric 2. The slot name does not have any meaning in terms of
which fabric module can be installed in it. The MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module, DS-13SLT-FAB2, can
be installed in either slot, and the MDS 9513 Fabric 1 module DS-13SLT-FAB1, can be installed in
either slot.
Migration Procedures for the MDS 9513 Director
This section presents three procedures for migrating your hardware and upgrading your software in the
MDS 9513 to make it ready for the Generation 8-Gbps modules. Each procedure lists the tasks involved
and the benefits of the particular procedure.
Installing the MDS 9000 4/44-Port 8-Gbps Host-Optimized Module
This procedure allows you to start using an 8-Gbps module, without replacing the MDS 9513 Fabric 1
modules in the switch. The procedure consists of the following tasks:
•
Upgrade the MDS 9513 Director to Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b).
•
Install the MDS 9000 4/44-port 8-Gbps Host-Optimized module.
This procedure offers the following benefits:
•
There is no service disruption. The upgrade to Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b) is nondisruptive.
•
You immediately realize the benefit of the faster 8-Gbps port speed.
To nondisruptively upgrade to Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b), and install the MDS 9000 4/44-port 8-Gbps
Host-Optimized module, follow these steps:
Step 1

Installing MDS 9513 Fabric 2 Modules and Running Cisco SAN-OS 3.x
This procedure allows you to prepare your switch for the future installation of an MDS 48-port 8-Gbps
module or an MDS 9000 24-port 8-Gbps module. The procedure consists of the following tasks:
•
Replace the MDS 9513 Fabric 1 modules with MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules.
This procedure offers the following benefits:
•
There is no service disruption. The installation of the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules is nondisruptive,
and you can continue running Cisco SAN-OS 3.x.
•
You have completed the MDS 9513 hardware upgrade.
•
You can schedule time for proceeding with the software upgrade and the installation of Generation
3 modules at a later time.
To nondisruptively remove a MDS 9513 Fabric 1 module from the Cisco MDS 9513 Director and replace
it with a MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module, follow these steps:
Step 1
Connect a PC to the console port on the active supervisor module and log in to the switch.
Step 2
Enter the show module command to determine which supervisor and its associated fabric module are in
active mode.
The supervisor module in slot 7 is associated with the fabric module in the Fabric 1 slot and the
supervisor module in slot 8 is associated with the fabric module in the Fabric 2 slot.
The following example shows the output of the show module command, which indicates that the
supervisor in slot 7 is active and the supervisor in slot 8 is in standby mode.

The MDS 9513 Director with the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules should function as it did prior to the
migration procedure. Until you upgrade to Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b) and reload the switch, the MDS 9513
Fabric 2 modules function like MDS 9513 Fabric 1 modules.
Installing MDS 9513 Fabric 2 Modules and Installing MDS 9000 24-port or
48-port 8-Gbps Modules
This procedure allows you to install the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules and activate the increased
backplane bandwidth of the MDS 9513 Director. The procedure consists of the following tasks:
•
Upgrade to NX-OS 4.1(1b). This is a nondisruptive procedure.
•
Replace the MDS 9513 Fabric 1 modules with MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules.
•
Install the MDS 9000 48-port or 24-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel modules.
•
Activate the higher bandwidth capabilities of the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules.
This procedure offers the following benefits:
•
You double the active backplane bandwidth to 192-Gbps full duplex per slot on the MDS 9513
Director once you activate the increased bandwidth capabilities of the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules
through a reload or power cycle.
•
You simplify the migration process if you choose to power down the switch and install all the
hardware modules at one time.

S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m .
Activating the higher bandwidth capabilities of the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules can occur in one of two
ways:
•
You can enter the reload command after a nondisruptive installation of the MDS 9513 Fabric 2
modules.
•
You can power down the switch, install the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules, and then power up the
switch.
Both methods are disruptive. The latter method is a best practice because it requires fewer steps.
Depending on which method you choose, follow the instructions in either the “Installing the MDS 9513
Fabric 2 Modules and Activating Higher Bandwidth by Reloading the Switch” section on page A-10 or
in the “Installing the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 Modules and Activating Higher Bandwidth by Powering Down
the Switch” section on page A-11.

Preparing for Network Connections
S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m .
Caution
When running power and data cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, we strongly recommend that
power cables and other potential noise sources be located as far away as is practical from network
cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be
separated by at least 3.3 ft (1 m), we recommend shielding any potential noise sources by housing them
in a grounded metallic conduit.
Note
The Cisco MDS 9506 Director and Cisco MDS 9509 Director use the Supervisor-1 module and require
the same port connecting procedures.
Preparing for Network Connections
When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco MDS 9500 Series, consider the following
for each type of interface, and gather all the required equipment before connecting the ports:
•
Cabling required for each interface type
•
Distance limitations for each signal type
•
Additional interface equipment required
Connecting to the Console Port
The console port, labeled “Console,” is an RS-232 port with an RJ-45 interface (see Figure B-1). It is an
asynchronous (async) serial port; any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous
transmission.
We recommend using this port to create a local management connection to set the IP address and other
initial configuration settings before connecting the switch to the network for the first time.

Note
Connecting the console port to a modem is supported for switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release
1.2(2a) or later or NX-OS Release 4.1(1b).
Caution
The console port can be used to connect to a modem, however, we recommend using the COM1 port for
this purpose. If you decide to connect the console port to a modem, do not connect it while the switch is
booting; connect either before powering the switch on or after the switch has completed the boot process.
You can use the console port to perform the following functions:
Note
•
Configure the Cisco MDS 9500 from the CLI.
•
Monitor network statistics and errors.
•
Configure SNMP agent parameters.
•
Download software updates.
To connect the console port to a computer terminal, the computer must support VT100 terminal
emulation. The terminal emulation software—frequently an application such as HyperTerminal or
Procomm Plus—makes communication between the switch and computer possible during setup and
configuration.

When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve,
because this can compromise the fiber-optic termination in the connector.
Caution
If the cable does not remove easily, ensure that any latch present on the cable has been released before
continuing.
To remove the cable, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.

Maintaining SFP Transceivers and Fiber-Optic Cables
SFP transceivers and fiber-optic cables must be kept clean and dust-free to maintain high signal accuracy
and prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (Loss Of Light) is increased by contamination and
should be below 0.35 dB.
Consider the following maintenance guidelines:
•
SFP transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap
that is connected to the chassis.
•
Do not remove and insert a transceiver more often than is necessary. Repeated removals and
insertions can shorten its useful life.
•
Keep all optical connections covered when not in use. If they become dusty, clean before using to
prevent dust from scratching the fiber-optic cable ends.
•
Do not touch ends of connectors to prevent fingerprints and other contamination.
•
Clean regularly; the required frequency of cleaning depends upon the environment. In addition,
clean connectors if they are exposed to dust or accidentally touched. Both wet and dry cleaning
techniques can be effective; refer to your site’s fiber-optic connection cleaning procedure.
•
Inspect routinely for dust and damage. If damage is suspected, clean and then inspect fiber ends
under a microscope to determine if damage has occurred.

Rack-Mounting Guidelines
Caution
If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or the rack is otherwise stabilized.
Caution
If installing this kit in an EIA rack, attach the switch to all four rack-mounting rails; the EIA rails may
not be thick enough to prevent flexing of the shelf brackets if only two rails are used.
Before rack-mounting the chassis, ensure that the cabinet or the rack meets the following requirements:
•
The specifications listed in the “Cabinet and Rack Requirements” section on page C-1.
•
The depth of the rack between the front-mounting and rear-mounting rails is at least 18 in. (45.7 cm)
but less than or equal to 30 in. (76.2 cm). This is specific to four-post EIA cabinets or racks.
•
The airflow and cooling are adequate and there is sufficient clearance around the air vents on the
switch, as described in Appendix D, “Technical Specifications.” This is particularly important to
verify if you are installing the switch in an enclosed cabinet.
•
The rack has sufficient vertical clearance for the chassis plus 2 RU for the shelf brackets, and any
desired clearance for the installation process.
•
The rack meets the minimum rack load ratings per rack unit listed in the following table:

Rack-Mounting Guidelines
Caution
If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or the rack is otherwise stabilized.
Before rack-mounting the chassis, ensure that the cabinet or the rack meets the following requirements:
•
The specifications listed in the “Cabinet and Rack Requirements” section on page C-1.
•
The depth of the rack between the front-mounting and rear-mounting rails is fixed at 18 inches
(45.7 cm).
•
The depth of the rack between the front-mounting and rear-mounting rails is fixed at 26.56 inches
(67.4 cm) for a Cisco MDS 9513 Director.
•
The cabinet or rack-mounting rails are nonthreaded.
•
The airflow and cooling are adequate and there is sufficient clearance around the air vents on the
Cisco MDS 9509 Director, as described in Appendix D, “Technical Specifications.” This is
particularly important to verify if you are installing the switch in an enclosed cabinet.
•
The rack has sufficient vertical clearance for the chassis and any desired clearance for the
installation process. The Cisco MDS 9500 Shelf Bracket Kit does not consume any RU when
installed.
•
The rack meets the minimum rack load ratings of 45 lb (20.41 kg) per rack unit (RU) for the Cisco

Site Preparation Checklist
Planning the location and layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful
switch operation, ventilation, and accessibility. Table F-1 lists the site planning tasks that Cisco
recommends completing before installing the Cisco MDS 9500 Series.
Consider heat dissipation when sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an installation. See
Table D-1 on page D-1 for the environmental requirements. See the“Power Specifications for the Cisco
MDS 9513 Director” section on page D-6, the “Power Specifications for the Cisco MDS 9509 Director”
section on page D-9, and the “Power Specifications for the Cisco MDS 9506 Director” section on
page D-14 for power and heat ratings.
