How this document is organized

This document is organized to help you find the information that you want as quickly and easily as

possible.

The document contains the following components:

•Chapter 1, “Brocade 8000 Introduction” provides an overview of the Brocade 8000 switch, a

feature list, and a look at the appearance of the switch.

•Chapter 2, “Brocade 8000 Installation and Configuration” provides the information needed to

install the switch into your network.

•Chapter 3, “Brocade 8000 Operation” discusses the day-to-day operational procedures for

using the switch.

•Chapter 4, “Removal and Replacement Procedures (RRPs)” provides procedures for removing

and replacing the field-replaceable units (FRUs).

•Appendix A, “Brocade 8000 Specifications” provides tables of physical, environmental,and

general specifications, helpful for quick lookup.

•The Index points you to the exact pages on which specific information is located.

Supported hardware and software

Although many different software and hardware configurations are tested and supported by

Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. for Fabric OS v6.1.2_cee, documenting all possible

configurations and scenarios is beyond the scope of this document.

viii Brocade 8000 Hardware Reference Manual

53-1001234-04

This document is specific to the Brocade 8000, Fabric OS v6.1.2_cee and Fabric OS 6.3.0 and

later. To obtain information about a Fabric OS version other than v6.1.2_cee and Fabric OS 6.3.0,

see the documentation specific to that OS version.

Fabric OS v6.1.2_cee supports only the full Brocade 8000 FCoE switch. With FOS 6.3.0 the

Brocade 8000 can be purchased as a base CEE switch and upgraded to a full FCoE switch using

the CNVSVC license. The license will enable the FCoE capabilities and enable the FC ports.

With Fabric OS v6.3.1, Brocade Access Gateway has been implemented for the Brocade 8000.

What’s new in this document

•Information about the implementation of Access Gateway on the Brocade 8000.

•Information about an additional FOS release that supports the switch has been added as well.
