EMC Connectrix B Series v6.2 ED-DCX-4S-B Hardware Reference Manual
Removal and Replacement Procedures (RRPs)
RRP: Inter-chassis link (ICL) cables
Note: ICL ports can be used only with an ICL license. After the addition or
removal of a license, the license enforcement is performed on the ICL ports
only when the portDisable and portEnable commands are issued on the
ports. An ICL license must be installed on both EMC Backbones forming the
ICL connection. The backbones can be either two ED-DCX-4S-B units or one
ED-DCX-4S-B and one ED-DCX-B.
Note: If ICL cables are not in use, the ports must have EMI plugs installed to
meet EMI and other regulatory certifications.
Table 12 describes the ICL connector port LED patterns and the
recommended actions for those patterns.
Follow this procedure to install the ICL cables. Refer to the EMC
Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for the
configuration procedure and requirements.
Figure 28 on page 123 shows an ICL cable. The ICL cables (2 meters
long) and the ICL connectors shown in Figure 13 on page 77 are
color-coded and labeled for ease of installation. Four cables are
required for a complete installation.
Time required The replacement procedure for an ICL cable takes less than five
minutes.
Items required Replacement ICL cable.
