Introducing the HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb
Switch 16B
This chapter provides the following information:
•Overview on page 1-1
•Monitoring and Managing the FC 16B on page 1-3
Overview
The HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb S wi tc h 16 B i s a 16-port Fibre Channel gigabit switch that supp orts
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).
Chapter
1
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.

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 Tru nking, refer to the ISL T r unking 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 s upplies, fan tray s, and the en tire 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.

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 t he s wit ch should not unbalance the r ack or ex ceed the rack’s
weight limits.
•The rack should be mechanically secured to insure stability in the event of an
earthquake.
WARNINGFor safety reasons, when installing this product in an equipment rack, you
must consider rack stability against tipping. Please refer to the Hewlett-P ackard 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
racksolutions/). If the necessary stability is not achieved, through the placement of

additional equipment or ballast, the equipment rack must be anchored to the building
structure before operation.

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
T o 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:
CAUTIONInstalling 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 foo t in each depression, wi th the adhesive si de against the chas sis, and
press into place.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.

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. Ensu re
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 autom at i cal ly runs POST (power on self-tes t) eac h ti me it is
turned on.
c. If the FC 16B includes a second power supply, repeat Steps 4a and 4b for the
remaining power supply.
NoteDo not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set.
