Product Description

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 universa l and self-confi guring, and are ca pable of individually becoming an F_Port (fabric enabled), FL_Port (fabric loop enabled), or an E_Port (expansion port).

The base product, A7340A/AZ, comes with Web Tools, QuickLoop, Zoning, and Fabric Watch. Switches purchased with the Performance Upgrade (Option 001) have four additional features: ISL Trunking, Advanced Performance Monitor ing, Exte nded Fabr ics, and Remote Switc h.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH

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 temperat ure near t he switch mus t not exce ed 40 degree s Celsius. Th is is particul arly important to verify if the switch is in stalled in a closed or multi-rack assembly.

• The volume of air f low avail able to the swit ch must be a t least 300 cu bic 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 re ly on a connecti on to a branch cir cuit, 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 mechanical ly se cur ed to i nsur e st abi li ty 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 de termine rack stability (also available in electro nic format through the HP Web site at

http://www.hp.com/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 provide s i n st ruc ti ons for setting up the switch as a stan d-a lone unit on a flat surface. The following items are required:

• FC 16B switch

• Power ca bles

• Rubber mounting feet

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

1. Check contents of th e shipping carton to v erify al l the requ ired part s 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 ar e at each co rner of the bottom of the

switch to ensure they are fr ee of dust.

b. Place a rubber foot i n each depre ssion, wit h the adhes ive side a gainst

the chassis, and press into place.

3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy s urface.

4. Provide power to the switch by completing the following steps: a. Connect the power cable to the FC 1 6B po wer sup ply an d to a p ower

outlet. Ensure the power cable is routed so that it is not exposed to stress.

Installing the Switch 3

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 s upply , r epeat S teps 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 17.

Installing the Switch in a Rack

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

• FC 16B switch

• Power ca bles

• #2 Phillips and T25 Torx screwdrivers

• Rails and rail mounting hardware:

(2) Rear mounting bracket

(6) #8-32 x 5/16 Phillip s pan-h ead s crew with ca ptive star l ock washer

(6) #8 Flat washer
