Todays data-based Internet economy is driving businesses to high
performance computing platforms. This has put a heavy load on current
server architectures, and many companies have created data center
networks to share the burden of Web, application and database requests
over many servers.
These demands can be met with Emulex cLAN productshigh
performance server-to-server interconnects that create system area
networks. Emulex cLAN products are the optimal way to connect multi-
tiered server architectures, allowing you to connect racks of Intel-based
servers, creating a continuously expandable computing resource on
demand. Emulex cLAN products include Host Bus Adapters and multi-
port switches delivering more data to more users, faster.
Emulex cLAN improves the performance of server applications by
increasing data message throughput, reducing data message delays
between servers in the cluster, and minimizing server processing
requirements.
Emulex cLAN uses the Virtual Interface (VI) Architecture standard
developed by Intel, Compaq, Microsoft, and others to deliver high
performance directly to server applications by eliminating the overhead
associated with the server operating system and network stack.
Emulexs cLAN also utilizes the NDIS device driver to support use of
other networking protocols such as TCP/IP. Depending on the
networking technologies your server applications support, cLAN will use
either the VI driver, the NDIS driver, or both.
Emulexs integrated management software, the Giganet Management
Console, monitors the cLAN, even when it is not actively transferring
data, and automatically addresses problems that may occur. You can add
nodes to or remove nodes from an operating cluster, or cLAN fabric. The
cLAN software automatically detects new or removed nodes.
Figure 1 illustrates an example of a simple cLAN. In this example, the
cLAN consists of eight servers, a cLAN Host Adapter installed in each
server, an eight-port cLAN Cluster Switch, and the cLAN cabling required
to connect the Host Adapters to the Cluster Switch. A separate network
interface card (NIC) connects each server to the Ethernet LAN.
An OvrvIw / EmuIx LAN
JU EmuIx CrraIIn
Figure 1: A Sample Emulex cLAN
In this example, end users communicate with servers over the Ethernet
network. Business-critical applications running on the servers
communicate over cLAN to achieve high performance, low central
processing unit (CPU) utilization, and low message latency.
cLAN Hardware
The two primary hardware components of cLAN are:
cLAN Host Adapter
cLAN Cluster Switch
The cLAN Host Adapter inter-operates with Emulexs high-performance
cLAN Cluster Switch to build scalable clustered environments.
cLAN Host Adapter
The Emulex cLAN Host Adapter is a 32/64-bit PCI-compliant network
interface card that connects a server to a cLAN.
The cLAN Host Adapter runs at 33Mhz, and uses 5V.
Figure 2 illustrates the cLAN1000 Host Adapter.
The model cLAN1000 host adapter has a single fixed port with a high
speed serial data connector (HSSDC) supporting copper quad axial
connection links of up to 30m in length. Linux supports one card per
server. Windows supports two cards per server.
The cLAN1000 Host Adapter provides four light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
for status verification. See Table 6 on page 71 for a description of these
LEDs.

cLAN Cluster Switch
The Emulex cLAN Cluster Switch is a high performance switch that
provides server-to-server connectivity.
The cLAN Cluster Switch features an integrated ASIC-based switching
core that provides a full-duplex data throughput of 1.25 Gb/s (2.5 Gb/s
bi-directional) and total port-to-port latency of 0.5s.
The cLAN Cluster Switch supports routing and non-blocking performance
through a shared memory architecture that eliminates the internal
congestion inherent in other interconnect technologies.
The term non-blocking means cLAN Cluster Switch can pass data through
all ports at full bandwidth in both directions. cLAN Cluster Switch
automatically configures without operator intervention and continuously
monitors all links and devices.
cLAN Cluster Switch is currently available in these models:
cLAN5000 - provides 8 HSSDCs in a one-unit high chassis
cLAN5300 - provides 32 HSSDCs in a two-unit high chassis
Figure 3 illustrates the cLAN5000 Cluster Switch.
The cLAN Cluster Switch provides four types of light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) for status verification. See Table 7 on page 73 for a description of
these LEDs.

Selecting a PCI Slot for the cLAN Host Adapter
cLAN Host Adapters operate in any 33 Mhz., 32-bit or 64-bit PCI 2.1-
compliant expansion slot. However, the PCI slot in which you choose to
install the cLAN Host Adapter may impact its performance.
Follow these guidelines when selecting the PCI slot in which to install the
cLAN Host Adapter:
Do not install the cLAN Host Adapter in a PCI slot that is behind a
PCI-PCI bridge.
When multiple slots are available on different busses, we recommend:
- If possible, do not install the cLAN Host Adapter on the same bus
segment as a video display card. Be aware that some S-3 PCI video
cards do not comply with the PCI specification. Non-compliant
PCI cards can be the source of problems. You should avoid using
non-compliant PCI cards whenever possible.
- Install the cLAN Host Adapter on the bus segment with the fewest
number of PCI devices.
When both 32-bit and 64-bit slots are available, install the cLAN Host
Adapter in a 64-bit slot.
A 32-bit PCI-compliant connector features a notch at the end of the
connector (see Figure 5) that allows a 64-bit card to seat fully in the
connector. Some computers are equipped with non-compliant PCI
connectors that do not have this notch.
Caution: Do not attempt to install the cLAN Host Adapter in a 32-bit PCI
connector that does not have this notch as you may damage the Host
Adapter or your computer.

Unpacking the cLAN Cluster Switch
Carefully unpack your cLAN Cluster Switch. Each box includes:
one Emulex cLAN5000 or cLAN5300 Cluster Switch
one 6-foot power cable
four self-adhesive rubber feet for desktop operation (cLAN5000 only)
Additionally, your shipment includes rack-mounting hardware.
Emulex cLAN Cluster Switches provide these rack-mounting options:
You may mount the Cluster Switch in a two-rail 19-inch rack.
You may mount the Cluster Switch in a four-rail 19-inch rack.
Note: The cLAN5300 Cluster Switch must installed in an enclosed rack to
ensure proper operation.
Operating the cLAN5000 Cluster Switch from the Desktop
Rack-mounting the cLAN5000 Cluster Switch is optional. You may
operate the cLAN5000 Cluster Switch while it is resting on a desktop.
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with your cLAN5000 Cluster
Switch shipment. You may place the cLAN5000 Cluster Switch directly on
the desktop, or optionally, you may install the four rubber feet on the
bottom of the Cluster Switchs chassis before placing it on the desktop.
The cLAN5000 Cluster Switch is cooled from vents located in the sides of
its chassis. Ensure that these vents remain free of obstruction while the
cLAN5000 Cluster Switch is operating on the desktop.

Rack-mounting the cLAN Cluster Switch
You may mount the cLAN5000 and cLAN5300 Cluster Switch in these
equipment racks:
a two-rail 19-inch equipment rack
a four-rail 19-inch equipment rack
Note: The cLAN5300 Cluster Switch must be installed in an enclosed rack
to ensure proper operation. Because each cLAN5300 Switch installation is
unique in the physical configuration, cable lengths used, and cable
routing, the cLAN5300 product was tested for FCC Part 15, Class A,
compliance, without being installed in an equipment rack to simulate
worse case emission conditions. Snap-On Ferrites were applied to both
ends of each enhanced shielded HSSDC data cable and on the power cable
to reduce emissions resulting in levels substantially, (6db) below the FCC
Part 15, Class A limitations. The cLAN5300 switch mounted in an
equipment rack with the enhanced shielded HSSDC cable assemblies
dressed inside equipment racks most likely would eliminate the
requirement for the Snap-On ferrites. If the cLAN5300 switch causes
interference with other equipment, the installation of Snap-On ferrites
on the enhanced shielded cable assemblies may be required. These Snap-
On ferrites are available at no cost from Emulex Corp. The cLAN 1, 2, and
5 meter HSSDC cables and power cable would require ferrite part number
(CLAN-B100). The cLAN 10, 20, and 30 meter HSSDC cable assemblies
would require ferrite part number (CLAN-B101). Please contact Emulex at
(978) 779-7200 to arrange shipment of Snap-On ferrites.
UL
compliance specifies that you meet the following conditions when

rack-mounting cLAN Cluster Switches:
Consider internal temperatures of the rack for continued safe
operation. The maximum recommended ambient temperature is 40 C.
Air vents are located on the sides, or front and back of the cLAN
Cluster Switch. Do not block power supply vents or otherwise restrict
air flow when installing the cLAN Cluster Switch in the rack.
Consider mechanical loading of the rack so that the rack remains
stable and unlikely to tip over.
Consider the overall loading of the branch circuit before installing the
cLAN Cluster Switch in a rack environment.
Ensure that you maintain a reliable ground path in the rack system.
The cLAN Cluster Switch is intended to be connected to a ground.
Use only the supplied ferrite bead power cord to connect the
cLAN5300 Cluster Switch to its AC power source.

Replacing cLAN5000 Cluster Switch Fuses
The cLAN5000 Cluster Switch is equipped with two 1.25A 250 VAC 5mm
x 20mm time-lag fuses to protect against power surges.
If the Cluster Switchs POWER LED fails to light, inspect the connection
between the Switch and its power source. If the power source is
functioning and the connection to the power source is complete, and the
POWER LED remains off, then the Switchs fuses may be faulty.
Note: The cLAN5300 Cluster Switch is not equipped with field-
replaceable fuses.
Follow these steps to replace the cLAN5000 Cluster Switch fuses:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the Cluster Switch.
2. Using the tip of a flathead screwdriver, carefully pry out the fuse
housing located above the power receptacle.

while the devices are powered up.
All of the following connections use the same cables:
cLAN Host Adapter to cLAN Host Adapter
cLAN Host Adapter to cLAN Cluster Switch
cLAN Cluster Switch to cLAN Cluster Switch
Emulex supplies copper, quad-axial cables to make the above connections.
You may order copper cables from Emulex in the following lengths:
.5 meter
1 meter
2 meter
5 meter
10 meter
20 meter
30 meter
Each copper cable is equipped with a high-speed serial data connector
(HSSDC) at each end.
Caution: cLAN copper cables support ultra-high data throughput. Do not
induce sharp bends in a cLAN copper cable when installing, connecting,
or dressing the cable. Bending a cLAN copper cable sharply can stress or
break its copper core and may generate bit errors in data carried on the
cable.
Follow these guidelines when connecting a cable to the cLAN Host
Adapter:
Connect only a Emulex-manufactured/approved cable to the cLAN
Host Adapter.
Connect a free end of the Emulex connection cable to the cLAN Host
Adapter port as shown in Figure 41. An audible click indicates the
cable is seated properly.
Connect the other end of the connection cable only to another cLAN
Host Adapter or to a cLAN Cluster Switch (see Figure 42).

Follow these guidelines when connecting a cable to the cLAN Cluster
Switch:
Connect only a Emulex-manufactured/approved cable to the cLAN
Cluster Switch.
Label both ends of the cLAN connection cable appropriately for your
network. Properly labeled cables simplify the tasks of routing cables
and making appropriate inter/intra-switch and inter-port cable
connections.
Refer to the Cluster Switch wiring tables, Tables 1 through 6, when
labeling your cLAN connection cables.
Connect a free end of the Emulex connection cable to the cLAN Cluster
