Compaq 2-16-EL User Manual

The HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16-EL provides the
configuration flexibility and performance needed by
corporate storage network infrastructures. The SAN Switch
2/16-EL delivers sixteen high performance auto sensing 1
and 2 Gb Fibre Channel ports. It’s fully non-blocking and
provides uncongested sustained, 2 Gb full duplex
throughput. The SAN Switch 2/16-EL has universal,
self-configuring (F, FL, E) ports and includes Web Tools,
Quickloop and Advanced Zoning features. The switch
features highly networked capabilities that can be
incorporated into powerful, flexible storage area
networks (SANs). SFPs (removable-small-form-factor­pluggable optical transceivers) are ordered separately.
The SAN Switch 2/16-EL offers storage networking
features which include redundant power supplies, and
cooling; making it ideal for supporting corporate
infrastructure implementations. The switch scales to a
maximum of 4 switches in a SAN and is upgradable to
full SAN scaling with the purchase of an optional
upgrade license.

What’s new

• 2 Gb/sec 16 port connectivity
– Investment protection for previous SAN switch

installations

– Strongest management

• Flexible
– Choose the connection type (fabric, loop)
– Choose the best management
– Easily integrated into a core to edge SAN Switch

configuration

• 4 switch maximum switch scaling

• Upgradable to full SAN scaling

Key features and benefits

• Available: incorporates hot-plug redundant power
supplies and fans and hot-plug optics

• Manageable: maximizes system administrator
resources with centralized management tools

•Efficient: utilizes the same firmware as other HP
StorageWorks SAN Switches

• Scalable: up to 4 switch scaling and all 16-ports can be
cascaded to other switches to form larger SANs

• High performance: supports 2 Gb transfer with
non-blocking for highest performance

The HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16-EL features
high performance 2 Gb/sec connectivity to configure
an entry-level SAN and the ability to grow to a core to
edge infrastructure.
