DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.

DANGER
To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.

DANGER
Batteries used for RTC/NVRAM backup are not located in operator-access areas. There is a risk of explosion
if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used components with batteries according to local
ordinance and regulations.
CAUTION
Use a separate branch circuit for each power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.

CAUTION
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine
the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the
same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings
are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.

Broadcom G720-Install-IG101

Mounting the Device

Mounting Options
You can install the device in several ways:
• As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface, for example, a table top. Use the rubber feet included with the shipment to
secure the device on the surface. No other equipment is required for desktop installation.
• In a four-post EIA rack: You will need a Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296) to install devices in EIA racks
that are between L-13.7 cm to 81.28 cm deep (L-5.0 in. to 32.0 in.), where L is the chassis depth.
• In a two-post telco rack: You will need a Universal Two-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000294) to install 1U and 2U devices in a
two-post telecommunications (telco) rack.
NOTE
Review the following precautions before mounting the device.

Precautions Specific to Mounting

The following precautions apply to mounting the device.
DANGER
Use safe lifting practices when moving the product.

DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and
progressively place lighter devices above.
CAUTION
Make sure the airflow around the front and back of the device is not restricted.

CAUTION
Never leave tools inside the chassis.

CAUTION
Do not use the port cover tabs to lift the module. They are not designed to support the weight of the module,
which can fall and be damaged.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis using the fan or power
supply handles. These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.

Stand-alone Installation
Complete the following steps to install the device as a stand-alone unit on a table.
1. Unpack the device and verify that the items listed under Shipping Carton Contents are present and undamaged.
2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to the underside of the device. The rubber feet help prevent the device from sliding off
the supporting surface.
a) Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the device to ensure that they are free of dust or other
debris that might lessen the adhesion of the feet.
b) With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and press into place.
3. Place the device on a sturdy flat surface.
4. Provide power to the device as described in Providing Power to the Device.
NOTE
Do not connect the device to the network until the IP address is set correctly. For instructions on how to set
the IP address, see Configuring the IP Address.

Installing the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296)

Use the following instructions to install 1U and 2U devices in EIA racks that are from L-12.7 cm to 81.28 cm (L-5.0 in. to
32.0 in.) deep, where L is the chassis depth, using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296).
You can mount the device in a four-post rack in two ways:
• With the port side flush with the front posts.
• With the nonport side flush with the rear posts in a recessed position. A recessed position allows a more gradual bend
in the fiber-optic cables connected to the switch and less interference in the aisle at the front of the rack.

Table 7: Space Requirements

Yes Applicable to port-side flush mounts. L L-12.7 cm (L-5 in.) 81.28 cm (32 in.)
Yes Applicable to nonport-side flush mounts. L L 81.28 cm (32 in.)

If the chassis depth (L) is less than 40.64 cm (16 in.), the chassis will not fit into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28
cm (32 in.) using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit. The maximum rack depth for a chassis less than 40.64 cm (16 in.) is
81.28 cm (32 in.) minus the difference between the chassis depth and 40.64 cm (16 in.). For example, a chassis with a
depth (L) of 35.56 cm (14 in.) is 5.08 cm (2 in.) smaller than 40.64 cm (16 in.), so it will install into a rack with a maximum
depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) – 5.08 cm (2 in.), which equals 76.2 cm (30 in.).
Observe the following when mounting the device:
• Two people are required to install the device in a rack. One person holds the device, while the other screws in the front
and rear brackets.
• Before mounting your device, review any specific installation and facility requirements in the hardware installation
guide for the device.
• Hardware devices illustrated in these procedures are for reference only and may not depict the device that you are
installing into the rack.

Configuring the IP Address

You can configure the device with a static IP address, or you can use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The device supports both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses.

Using DHCP to Set the IP Address

When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server.
The DHCP client can connect only to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not
on the same subnet as the switch, use a static IP address.

Setting a Static IP Address

To set a static IP address for the device, complete the following steps.
1. Log on to the device as admin.
2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
• To use an IPv4 address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as prompted.
Ethernet IP Address: [192.0.2.0]
• To use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in colon-separated notation as prompted.
device:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 2001:db8:8:800:200C:417A/32
IP address is being changed...Done.

3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted (IPv4 format shown).
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]

Gateway IP Address: [192.0.2.1]

4. Enter off to disable DHCP when prompted.

DHCP [OFF]: off

Setting the Date and Time

The date and time settings are used for event logging, error detection, and troubleshooting. However, device operation
does not depend on the date and time; a device with incorrect date or time values still functions properly.
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device to that of an
external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Perform the following steps to set the date and time:
1. Log on to the device as admin.
2. Enter the date ["new-date" ] command at the command line.
The "new-date" variable specifies the new date and time and is enclosed in double quotation marks. This variable
is optional; if omitted, the current date and time are displayed. The date and time are specified as a string in
mmddhhmmyy format:

Installing Transceivers and Cables

Precautions Specific to Transceivers and Cables

DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
DANGER
Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Broadcom and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation
performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 60825 and EN60825. Optical products
that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the
electrical contacts to ground surface.

Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors

To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP+ or QSFP) and the fiber cable
connectors, clean both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate on the connectors
and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, use a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When not using an SFP+ or QSFP connector,
make sure to keep the protective covering in place.

Managing Cables
The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under a full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load.
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, for example, using cable channels on the sides of the rack or
patch panels to minimize cable management. Follow these recommendations:
NOTE
You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the
optic fibers.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the
electrical contacts to ground surface.
• Plan for the proper rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.
• Leave at least 1m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This slack provides room to remove and replace the switch,
allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum
bend radius.
• If you are using Brocade ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The cables used in trunking
groups must meet specific requirements, as described in the Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide.
• For easier maintenance, label the fiber-optic cables and record the devices to which they connect.
• Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
• Use hook-and-loop style straps to secure and organize fiber-optic cables.

Installing an SFP+ Transceiver

The device supports only transceivers that are qualified for Brocade products. For current information on qualified
transceivers supported by this device, refer to the Brocade Transceiver Support Matrix and the Brocade Transceiver

Broadcom G720-Install-IG101
54
G720-Install-IG101 Installation Guide Brocade® G720 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Modules webpage on www.broadcom.com. If you use an unqualified transceiver, the switchshow command output
shows the port in a Mod_Inv state. The issue is also logged in the system error log.
To insert an SFP+ transceiver, complete the following steps:
NOTE
The 32Gb/s and 64Gb/s SFP+ transceivers do not have bails. Always use the pull tab to insert or remove the
transceivers, since the transceiver might be hot.
1. Use the pull tab on the 32Gb/s and 64Gb/s SFP+ transceivers to help push the transceiver into the port.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can be inserted only with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide
in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. Push the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching
mechanism clicks.
NOTE
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position
to insert an SFP+ transceiver into an upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to
insert an SFP+ transceiver into a lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.
Figure 24: Installing an SFP+ Transceiver into a Port

1. Pull Tab
2. SFP+ Cable
3. SFP+ Transceiver
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.
NOTE
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that
it is correctly oriented. Do not insert any unsupported cable intended for another type of transceiver into a
regular SFP+ transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.

Replacing an SFP+ Transceiver

To remove an SFP+ transceiver and then install a new SFP+ transceiver, complete the following steps.
NOTE
Replacing an SFP+ transceiver may cause disruption in the fabric or to the attached device.

G720-Install-IG101 Installation Guide Brocade® G720 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

NOTE
32Gb/s and 64Gb/s SFP+ transceivers have pull tabs instead of bails. Always use the pull tab to insert or
remove the SFP+ transceivers, since the transceiver might be hot.
1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver.
2. Grasp the SFP+ transceiver pull tab and pull the tab straight out.
NOTE
Grasp the tab near the body of the transceiver to reduce the chances of bending the pull tab. Avoid touching
the transceiver because it may be hot.
3. To insert the replacement transceiver, use the pull tab on the SFP+ transceiver to carefully push the transceiver into
the port.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can be inserted only with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in
easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
NOTE
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position
to insert an SFP+ transceiver into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to

Monitoring the Device

Interpreting Port-Side LEDs

System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.
One LED per SFP+ port to indicate status.
There are 48 LEDs (green/amber) for the first 48 SFP+ ports and 8 tri-color LEDs (green/amber/white) for the last 8 SFP+
ports 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 60, and 62. The last set of LEDs pulse once in white, before indicating the FC port status in green
or amber. All functionalities pertaining to the green/amber colors for the last 8 LEDs remain the same as the first 48 LEDs.
There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. Flashing lights may be slow, fast, or
flickering.
Sometimes, the LEDs may flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This flashing is normal; it
indicates a problem only if the LEDs indicate an unhealthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests complete.

Interpreting POST Results

Each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, it performs a power-on self-test (POST). The total boot time with
the POST can be several minutes. The POST can be omitted after subsequent reboots by using the fastboot command
or entering the diagDisablePost command to persistently disable the POST. The success or failure results of the
diagnostic tests that run during the POST can be monitored through LED activity, the error log, or the command line
interface. During the POST, the LEDs flash different colors.
The POST performs the following tasks:
• Conducts preliminary POST diagnostics.
• Initializes the operating system.
• Initializes the hardware.
• Runs diagnostic tests on several functions, including the circuitry, port functionality, memory, statistics counters, and
serialization.
Perform the following steps to determine whether the POST completed successfully and whether any errors were
detected:
1. Verify that the LEDs on the device indicate that all components are healthy. If one or more LEDs do not display a
healthy state:
a) Verify that the LEDs are not set to "beacon" (this can be determined through the switchShow command or Web
Tools).
b) Follow the recommended action for the observed LED behavior.
2. Verify that the diagShow command displays that the diagnostic status for all ports in the device is OK.
3. Review the system log for errors. Errors detected during the POST are written to the system log, which can be viewed
by using the errShow command.

Interpreting Boot Results

Boot performs the following tasks after POST is complete:
• Performs universal port configuration.
• Initializes links.
• Analyzes the fabric. If any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric configuration.
• Obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses.
• Constructs unicast routing tables.
• Enables normal port operation.

Running Diagnostic Tests

In addition to the POST, switch firmware includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware and firmware.
These diagnostics test the internal connections and circuitry, the fixed media, and the transceivers and cables in use.
The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through a terminal setup for a serial
connection to the device. Some tests require that the ports be connected by external cables to allow diagnostics to verify
the serializer or deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loopback plugs.
Diagnostic tests are run at supported link speeds depending on the speed of the link being tested and the type of port.
NOTE
Diagnostic tests may temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links.
NOTE
Power-cycle the device after completing offline diagnostics tests.

Power Supply and Fan Assembly

Power Supply and Fan Assembly Overview

The Brocade G720 chassis has two 350W power supply and fan assemblies. The power supply and fan assembly units
can be removed and replaced without special tools. The device can continue operating during the replacement.
Figure 28: AC Power Supply and Fan Assembly

1. AC Power Cable Receptacle

2. Power Supply and Fan Assembly Status LED
3. Power-On/Off Switch
4. Power Supply and Fan Assembly Handle
5. Captive Screw
The device supports the following types of power supplies. (DC power is not supported.)
• AC power supply with nonport-side air exhaust. This unit moves the air from the port side to the nonport side of the
device.
• AC power supply with nonport-side air intake. This unit moves the air from the nonport side to the port side of the
device.
NOTE
The two power supply and fan assemblies that are concurrently installed in the chassis must be of the same
power type, model (airflow direction), and part number. If the airflow directions are different, an error is
generated on the console.
NOTE
The power supply and fan assembly units are hot-swappable if they are replaced one at a time. They are
identical and fit into either slot.
NOTE
The device can operate all the ports with one power supply and fan assembly unit if you do not require
redundancy.
The device fans are fixed inside the combined power supply and fan assemblies to provide necessary airflow to cool the
whole system. The fans operate at three speeds: low, normal, and high. The system software sets the fan speed and
measures it through the tachometer interface.

Broadcom G720-Install-IG101
63
G720-Install-IG101 Installation Guide Brocade® G720 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

The Optic Environmental Monitor (EM) Policy monitors the temperature of the SFP+ optics that are inserted on the
switch against the defined thresholds for that specific optic type (Vendor PN). The fan speed is adjusted based on the
temperature of the SFP+ and the EM thresholds.

Precautions Specific to the Power Supply and Fan Assemblies

DANGER
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, and then use the power cord supplied with the
device to connect it to the power source.
DANGER
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a
power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country.
The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
CAUTION
Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids the warranty and regulatory certifications.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan assembly.
CAUTION
Ensure that the airflow direction of the power supply unit matches that of the installed fan tray. The power
supplies and fan trays are clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an "E" or an orange arrow with an "I."
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run
the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
CAUTION
Use a separate branch circuit for each power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis using the fan or power
supply handles. These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.
NOTE
The equipment installation must meet NEC/CEC code requirements. Consult local authorities for regulations.
NOTE
If the ambient temperature is above the recommended operational limits, the power supply units shutdown,
which in turn shuts down the device without any warning message.

Identifying the Airflow Direction

The power supply and fan assemblies are identified by the following airflow directions:

Broadcom G720-Install-IG101
