Overview on page 1-1

Monitoring and Managing the FC 16B on page 1-3

Overview

The HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B is a 16-port Fibre Channel gigabit switch that supports link speeds up to 2 Gbps. Each port automatically negotiates to the highest common speed of all devices connected to the port. The ports are compatible with SFPs (small form factor pluggable media), are universal and self-configuring, and are capable of individually becoming an F_Port (fabric enabled), FL_Port (fabric loop enabled), or an E_Port (expansion port).

The FC 16B includes the Brocade Fabric Operating System™ version 3.0.1, and is compatible with HP’s installed base of Fibre Channel hubs, bridges, and switches. It can operate in a fabric containing multiple switches or as the only switch in a fabric.

The FC 16B is one rack unit in height, has an air-cooled chassis, and can be set up as a stand-alone unit or mounted in a 19-inch rack. The FC 16B includes the following:

•16 optical ports, each with two LEDs (light-emitting diodes), one to indicate port status and one to indicate link speed

•One serial port with an RS-232 connector

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

•A “switch power” LED on the SFP media side, indicating whether the switch has power

•A “switch status” LED on the power supply side, indicating the overall status of the switch

•One or two power supplies, with built-in fans and LEDs (if two power supplies are installed, they are redundant and individually hot-swappable)

•Two fan trays, individually hot-swappable

The SFP Media Side

Figure 1-1 shows the SFP media side of the FC 16B, which contains the serial port, Ethernet port, fiber optic ports and their corresponding LEDs, and the switch power LED.

Switch Power LED	Ethernet Port
Serial Port	Optical Port (16x)
Port Status LED (16x)	Port Speed LED (16x)

Figure 1-1 The SFP media side of the FC 16B

The ports of the FC 16B are color-coded in groups, with four purple ports alternating with four unmarked ports, to indicate which ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group.

Note: ISL Trunking is a Fabric OS feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of up to four ISLs between two directly adjacent switches, while preserving inorder delivery. For information about ISL Trunking, refer to the ISL Trunking User Guide.

The Power Supply Side

Figure 1-2 shows the power supply side of the FC 16B switch, which provides access to the fan trays and power supplies and the Switch Status LED. Each power supply also has an LED that indicates the status of that power supply. The power supplies, fan trays, and the entire switch are all FRUs (field replaceable units).

Monitoring and Managing the FC 16B

The FC 16B can be managed in-band using Fibre Channel protocol, or out-of-band by connecting to the Ethernet port. The management functions allow the administrator to monitor fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other information to aid in system debugging and performance analysis.

Note: The switch automatically performs POST (power on self-test diagnostics) each time it is turned on, and any errors are recorded in the error log. For more information about POST, see POST Specifications on page A-6.

The FC 16B is compatible with the following management interfaces:

•Command line interface through a telnet connection

For more information refer to the Fabric OS Procedures Guide and the Fabric OS Reference Manual.

•Web Tools

For more information refer to the Web Tools User’s Guide.

•Standard SNMP applications

For more information refer to the MIB Reference Manual.

All these management methods can be used either in-band (Fibre Channel) or out-of-band (Ethernet).

In addition, the FC 16B supports the following software:

•Zoning

For information refer to the Zoning User’s Guide.

•QuickLoop

For information refer to the QuickLoop User’s Guide.

•Fabric Watch

For information refer to the Fabric Watch User’s Guide.

•Advanced Performance Monitoring

The HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B can be installed either as a stand-alone unit or in a rack that meets EIA (Electronic Industries Association) standards.

This chapter provides the following information:

•Safety Guidelines on page 2-1

•Package Contents on page 2-2

•Installing the Switch as a Stand-Alone Unit on page 2-2

•Installing the Switch in a Rack on page 2-3

•Configuring and Connecting the Switch on page 2-9

Safety Guidelines

Follow these safety guidelines to ensure successful and safe operation of the switch:

•The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size must conform to the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.

•The ambient air temperature near the switch must not exceed 40 degrees Celsius. This is particularly important to verify if the switch is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly.

•The volume of air flow available to the switch must be at least 300 cubic feet per minute. The air vents must not be blocked.

Follow these safety guidelines for rack-mount installation:

•The rack space must be 1U high, 19 inches wide, and 24 inches deep.

•All equipment installed in the rack should have a reliable branch circuit ground connection. Do not rely on a connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.

•The additional weight of the switch should not unbalance the rack or exceed the rack’s weight limits.

•The rack should be mechanically secured to insure stability in the event of an earthquake.

WARNING For safety reasons, when installing this product in an equipment rack, you must consider rack stability against tipping. Please refer to the Hewlett-Packard Rack System/E User's Manual provided with the equipment rack to determine rack stability (also available in electronic format through the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/ racksolutions/). If the necessary stability is not achieved, through the placement of

Installing the Switch as a Stand-Alone Unit

This section provides instructions for setting up the switch as a stand-alone unit on a flat surface. The following items are required:

•FC 16B

•Power cables

•Rubber mounting feet

To set up the switch as a stand-alone unit:

1.Check contents of the shipping carton to verify all the required parts and hardware are available.

2.Apply the rubber feet by completing the following steps:

CAUTION Installing the rubber feet on the switch is recommended to help prevent the switch from accidentally sliding off the supporting surface.

a.Clean the four depressions that are at each corner of the bottom of the switch to ensure they are free of dust.

b.Place a rubber foot in each depression, with the adhesive side against the chassis, and press into place.

3.Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.

Installing and Configuring the HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B 2

4.Provide power to the switch by completing the following steps:

a.Connect the power cable to the FC 16B power supply and to a power outlet. Ensure the power cable is routed so that it is not exposed to stress.

b.Turn on the power supply (flip the AC switch to “I”) when ready to supply power to the switch. The switch automatically runs POST (power on self-test) each time it is turned on.

c.If the FC 16B includes a second power supply, repeat Steps 4a and 4b for the remaining power supply.

Note Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see Configuring and Connecting the Switch on page 2-9.

Installing the Switch in a Rack

This section provides instructions for installing the FC 16B in an HP or Compaq/Rittal rack.

2	Installing and Configuring the HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B

The following items are required to install the switch in a rack:

•FC 16B

•Power cables

•#2 Phillips and T25 Torx screwdrivers

•Rails and rail mounting hardware:

(2)Rear mounting bracket

(6) #8-32 x 5/16 Phillips pan-head screw with captive star lock washer

(6) #8 Flat washer

(6) M5 Torx head screw with captive lock washer

(2) Rubber washer

(4) M5 U-type Tinnerman clip (HP rack only)
