Product Summary
The Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 is an active 12-port
hub for Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) storage clusters, server
clusters, and networks, providing gigabit speed storage connectivity, modular
network scalability, and option network management.
Intelligent Port Control - provides multiple data checks without
affecting performance
■
Spatial Economy - takes up only 1U of rack space
■
Ease of Use - provides port-bypass circuitry flexibility and simplifies
central wiring management
Functions
The Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 continuously
monitors the serial data and automatically configures an FC-AL network.
Adding valid FC-AL nodes with ANSI-compliant cables is truly a plug-andplay task. Loop nodes that are missing or inoperative are detected, and the data
is automatically routed to the next operational port and node in the loop.
The hub is transparent to the protocol. It does not consume any FC-AL
addresses and so is not addressable by an FC-AL port. Because of the
intelligent signal detection tests, only valid Fibre Channel devices will be
connected to a loop when using the hub. If an FC-AL node were to transmit
invalid Fibre Channel data, the node would be taken off the loop
automatically. Examples of node behavior that will result in a bypass state are
transmission of invalid characters, absence of frames, and invalid signal
amplitude.

Connecting the GBIC Module and the
Fibre Channel Cable to the Hub
The hub has 12 modular, gigabit-per-second user-configurable interface ports.
These 12 ports are compliant with the GigaBit Interface Converter, GBIC
specification. Standard GBIC Modules are hot-pluggable. To connect an
FC-AL to the hub, you will need to install a standard GBIC Module followed
by a Fibre Channel cable into one of the 12 ports. See the documentation
supplied with the module and the cable for detailed installation instructions. If
you need to obtain GBIC Modules or Fibre Channel cables, contact your local
Compaq Reseller or Authorized Compaq Service Provider. See the preface,
“About This Guide,” for information on locating your nearest Compaq
representative.
1. Gently insert one GBIC Module into any available port on the hub, until
you feel the module click into place. The module is keyed to prevent
you from inserting the module incorrectly.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment, do not use excessive
force when inserting the GBIC Module.

Troubleshooting the hub with the rear panel LEDs and Reset Button
Troubleshooting Guidelines
If there is a problem accessing an FC-AL device connected to the hub, the
source of the problem can be the FC-AL device, the hub, the host, or any of
the connections between the host and device. See the Compaq StorageWorksFibre Channel Troubleshooting Guide to troubleshoot the loop. Use this
chapter to troubleshoot the hub.
Chapter
3
Troubleshooting
You can follow the steps outlined below to investigate the problem from the
most likely to the least likely cause.
1. Inspect the cabling between the hub and attached FC-AL devices. Check
for loose, dirty, broken, or bent cabling and connectors. Cables should
latch into position with an audible “click.”
2. Inspect the hub LED indicators for apparent problems. See the next
section, “Troubleshooting with the LEDs and the Reset Button.”
3. Check the GBIC Modules to ensure they are inserted properly.
4. Make sure that both ends of each Fibre Channel cable are connected to

Performing a Self Test after the Initial
Power-Up
One of the quickest methods to check the ports and the hub is to run a self test.
Self test will check those ports with active loop devices connected. For
example, to check all 12 ports, you will need to have active loop devices
connected to all 12 ports. See Chapter 2, “Overview of Installing the Compaq
StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub12,” for cabling instructions.
1. If the hub is not powered up, plug the AC power cord into the hub, then
into a grounded AC outlet. If the hub is powered up, press the Reset
Button on the rear of the unit. The unit will run self test, which lasts 15
to 60 seconds. The unit passes self test if the Power LED turns green
and the Fault LED turns off.
CAUTION: Resetting the hub disrupts the network, which can impact
performance. This will not normally corrupt data on disk drives attached to the
hub.

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following
methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
■
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation
or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of
1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
■
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear
the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating
floor mats.
■
Use conductive field service tools.
■
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work
mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have
an Authorized Compaq Reseller install the part.
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation,
contact your Authorized Compaq Reseller.

Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide
an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices,
including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function
and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and
related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their
intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be
expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a
residential environment (that is, personal computers). The FCC requires
devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of
the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls
into. Class B devices have an FCC ID or logo on the label. Class A devices do
not have the FCC ID or logo on the label. Once the class of the device is
determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.
Class A Equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at personal expense.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications
made to this device that are not expressly approved by Compaq Computer
Corporation may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Cables
Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables with metallic
RFI/EMI connector hoods in order to maintain compliance with FCC Rules
and Regulations.
Canadian Notice (Avis Canadien)
Class A Equipment
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
