If there is no switch prompt when POST completes, press Enter. If the switch prompt still does not
display, try opening a Telnet session or accessing the switch through another management tool. If
this is not successful, the switch did not successfully complete POST. Contact your switch supplier
for repair.
3. Review the switch system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are written to the system
log, accessible through the errShow command .
For information about all referenced commands, and on accessing the error log, refer to the Fabric
OS Administrator's Guide . For information about error messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message
Reference.
Brocade 6510 Maintenance
The Brocade 6510 is designed for high availability and low failure; it does not require any regular
physical maintenance. It includes diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units, described in the
following sections.
Installing an SFP+
The Brocade 6510 only supports Brocade-branded 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps SFP+ optical transceivers.
For the Fibre Channel connections, the Brocade 6510 uses SFP+ transceivers that support any
combination of Short Wavelength (SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL), and Extended Long Wavelength
(ELWL) optical media.
If you use an unqualified transceiver, the switchShow command output shows the port in a Mod_Inv
state. Fabric OS also logs the issue in the system error log.
For this procedure, see the figures in this section.
1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, position the optical transceiver so
that the key is oriented correctly to the port. Insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated
and the latching mechanism clicks; then close the bail.
The 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers do not have bails. Use the pull tab on the 16 Gbps SFP+
transceivers to help push the transceiver into the port.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver
does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
2. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the
slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily,
ensure that it is correctly oriented. Do not insert a cable intended for an mSFP transceiver into a
regular SFP or SFP+ transceiver. You may damage the cable. Do not force a standard SFP-type
cable into an mSFP transceiver. You may damage the transceiver.
NOTE
Each SFP+ has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position to
insert an SFP+ into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to insert an
SFP+ into the lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.
