switches running v2.6x and above, building a highly scalable SAN fabric. The
Fibre Channel SAN Switch 2/16 supports F_port, FL_port, and E_port
connections and Distributed Name Server (DNS).
The ports on the front panel of the SAN Switch 2/16 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 (see “ISL Trunking” on
page 21). Each port automatically negotiates to the highest common speed.
The ports are capable of operating at 2.125 Gbps or 1.0625 Gbps. Each port
conforms to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Fibre Channel,
FC-PI specification for Fibre Channel SFP transceivers.

providing applicable instructions with each switch.
Selecting an Operating Location
To ensure correct operation of the switch, the location where the switch is in use
must meet the following requirements:
■ Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the
electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
■ An air flow of at least 300 cubic feet per minute, available in the immediate
vicinity of the switch.
■ If installing the switch in the HP 9000 Series, HP System/e or comparable
Electronics Industries Association (EIA) rack:
— All equipment installed in the rack should have a reliable branch circuit
ground connection, and should not rely on a connection to a branch
circuit, such as a power strip.
27SAN Switch 2/16 Version 3.1.x Installation Guide
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16
— The rack should be balanced and the installed equipment within the rack’s
weight limits. Ensure the rack is mechanically secured to ensure stability
in the event of an earthquake.
Cooling Requirements
Cooling air is drawn into the switch chassis by the fans mounted on the rear of the
chassis. The air is expelled through vents in the front of the chassis (the port/cable
side). HP cautions that you must install the switch so that air intake and exhaust
for all components in the rack flow in the same direction.
Caution: Do not block air vents. The switch uses ambient air for cooling.
Power Requirements
Two AC power cords connect to the switch on either side of the rear panel. The
AC power source must meet these requirements:
■ A properly wired, earth-grounded AC outlet
■ Voltage capability of 85–264 VAC
■ Input voltage frequency of 47–63 Hz
■ Power capability of 75 watts, maximum
The switch has a universal power supply capable of functioning worldwide
without voltage jumpers or switches. The power supply is auto ranging in terms of
accommodating input voltages and line frequencies.
28 SAN Switch 2/16 Version 3.1.x Installation Guide

29SAN Switch 2/16 Version 3.1.x Installation Guide
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16
Installing the SAN Switch as a Stand-alone Unit
Use these procedures for setting up the switch as a stand-alone unit. The following
items are required for this setup:
■ SAN Switch 2/16
■ AC power cord(s) and cables supplied with the switch
■ Rubber mounting feet supplied with the switch
1. Place the SAN Switch 2/16 or on a flat, sturdy surface like a table or lab
bench.
2. Apply the rubber feet as follows.
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.
Caution: Installing the rubber feet on the switch is recommended to help
prevent the switch from accidentally sliding off the table or bench.
3. Connect the power cable to the SAN Switch 2/16 power supply and to a
power outlet. Ensure the power cable is routed so that it is not exposed to
stress.
4. Turn on the power to the switch (flip the AC switch to “1”). The switch
automatically runs a Power-On Self-Test (POST).
5. If the SAN Switch 2/16 includes a second power supply, repeat steps 3
through 5 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 Network Addressing” later
in this chapter.
