Powering down the switch
If the switch is functioning at all, it must be disconnected from the network and fabric. To disconnect the
switch from the network and fabric shut down the system by entering the sysShutdown command.
Reconnecting system to the network and fabric
Complete the following steps to reconnect the device to the network and fabric.
1. Connect the switch to the local area network.
a) Insert the appropriate Ethernet cables into the Ethernet port.
b) Connect the other ends to an appropriate Ethernet LAN, if not already connected.
Note: The device can be accessed by remote connection using any of the available management
tools, such as Telnet or Web Tools. Ensure that the device is not modied using other connections
during the rest of this procedure.
2. Reconnect the transceivers and cables to the port.
Note: The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specic requirements. For a list of
these requirements, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
a) Position one of the transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port and insert the
transceiver into the port until it is rmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
b) Select the cable that corresponds to the port and position it 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.
c) Repeat step a and step b for the remaining ports.
d) Organize the cables as required.
Note: Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vents.
Allow the customer to “Downloading the conguration” on page 71 and “Verifying correct operation of
system” on page 72 and then proceed with “Reconnecting system to the network and fabric” on page
71.
Downloading the conguration
Once the chassis and its various components have been reassembled and powered back on, use the
configDownload command to restore the original conguration. The configDownload command can
be entered through a Telnet or serial session, but the device must have an Ethernet connection to the
server name or IP address of the host for the download process to complete. For more information, refer
to the help configdownload command or the Fabric OS Command Reference.
Complete the following steps to download the conguration.
1. Log in to the device as admin.
switch:admin> login
login: admin
password: xxxxxxxx
switch:admin>
Note: If you are using the Virtual Fabric feature, you must run configdownload -vf before running
the configdownload command to restore the logical switch conguration.
2. Enter the chassisDisable command.
3. Enter the configDownload command.
switch:admin> configdownload
