SilkWorm 3800 Hardware Reference 1-1

Introducing the SilkWorm 3800

This chapter provides the following information:

•Overview on page 1-1

•Monitoring and Managing the SilkWorm 3800 on page 1-3

Overview

The SilkWorm 3800 is a 16-port fibre channel gigabit switch that supports link speeds up to

2 Gbit/sec. It includes the Brocade Fabric Operating System, and is compatible with the entire

SilkWorm product family. It can operate in a fabric containing multiple switches or as the only

switch in a fabric.

The SilkWorm 3800 provides the following features:

•Air-cooled 1U chassis that can be set up as a stand-alone unit or mounted in a standard

Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 19-inch cabinet.

•16 fibre channel ports, with the following characteristics:

-Automatic negotiation to the highest common speed of all devices connected to

port

-Port interfaces compatible with small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers,

both short wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength (LWL)

-Universal and self-configuring: capable of becoming an F_Port (fabric enabled),

FL_Port (fabric loop enabled), or E_Port (expansion port)

•16 short-wave length SFP transceivers, if ordered

•One RS-232 serial port, designed to connect to a DTE port.

•One 10/100 Mbps ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector

•One or two power supplies, as ordered, with built-in fans (if two power supplies are

installed, they are redundant and individually hot-swappable)

•Two fan assemblies, hot-swappable if replaced one at a time.

•A field-replaceable motherboard assembly enclosed in a grounded EMI cage

•The following LEDs:

-Switch Power/Status LED (light-emitting diode) on the port side of the switch

-Port Readiness LED on the non-port side of the switch

-Port Status LED and Port Speed LED for each port

-Power LED on each power supply

Port Side of the SilkWorm 3800

Figure 1-1 shows the port side of the SilkWorm 3800. IP label, fibre channel ports

Figure 1-1 Port Side of SilkWorm 3800

The fibre channel ports are numbered from left to right, and are color-coded into groups of four to

indicate which ports can be used in the same interswitch link (ISL) trunking group.

Note: Brocade ISL Trunking is optional software that allows creation of trunking groups of

ISLs between adjacent switches. For more information about trunking, refer to the

Brocade ISL Trunking User’s Guide

Non-Port Side of the SilkWorm 3800

Figure 1-2 shows the non-port side of the SilkWorm 3800, which provides access to the fan

assemblies, power supplies, and Port Readiness LED. Each power supply also has an LED that

indicates whether the power supply is receiving power.
