Overview
This Quick Start guide is intended as an overview to help experienced installers unpack, install, and configure a
Brocade 4424 switch quickly. For detailed installation and configuration instructions, see the Brocade 4424 Blade
Server SAN I/O Module Hardware Reference Manual.
NOTE
Throughout this document, the Brocade 4424 Blade Server SAN I/O Module is referred to as the SAN I/O Module.
Unpacking and installing the SAN I/O Module
If the SAN I/O Module is installed in the Blade Server Enclosure that is shipped to you, skip this section. This section
applies when installing a new module in an empty bay or replacing an existing SAN I/O Module.
NOTE
The SAN I/O Module is designed to work only in I/O bays B1/B2 and C1/C2 of the Dell M1000e Blade Server
Enclosure. Make sure to comply with installation requirements in the Blade Server Enclosure Hardware Owner’s
Manual.
Perform the following steps to remove the SAN I/O Module from its shipping package.
1. Open the shipping box and inspect the contents, making sure that nothing is missing or damaged.
Do not insert a damaged SAN I/O Module into the Blade Blade Server Enclosure. If the SAN I/O Module appears
to be damaged, contact your sales representative before proceeding.
2. Remove the cardboard accessory tray from on top of the SAN I/O Module.
This tray contains the documentation, regulatory statements, product information guide, and Documentation
CD.
3. Remove the SAN I/O Module from the box.
The protective foam ends will slide out with the SAN I/O Module.
4. Remove the foam ends from the SAN I/O Module.
5. Be sure that you have taken the necessary precautions for electrostatic sensitivity; then break the seal warning.
6. Slide the SAN I/O Module out of the antistatic sleeve and inspect it carefully for any obvious defects or shipping
damage.
7. Locate the label that specifies the part number for the SAN I/O Module. Make a note of the part number
because the part number indicates whether the SAN I/O Module was configured at the factory in Access
Gateway or Standard Full Fabric Switch mode. (More information on Access Gateway and Full-Fabric Switch
mode is provided in
“Configuring the SAN I/O Module” on page 6.)
• If the part number is DL-4424-0003, then the SAN I/O Module is configured in Access Gateway mode.
• If the part number is DL-4424-0001, then the SAN I/O Module is configured in Full Fabric Switch mode.
Note that Full Fabric Switch mode is the default factory setting when the module is licensed for Dual
Function mode. With Dual Function mode, you can enable the module for Access Gateway or Full Fabric
Switch mode.
8. For complete instructions to install the SAN I/O Module into the Blade Server Enclosure, refer to the section on
installing an I/O module in the Blade Server Enclosure Hardware Owner’s Manual.
