Chassis configuration setting

When migrating a SAN Director with two domains (two lo g ical
switches) to a 4/256 SAN Director, the result will be a SAN Director
with only one domain. Depending on your configuration, this
may change the topology of the fabric and should be taken into
consideration when planning your installation.

The 4/256 SAN Director supports chassis configuration options 1 or
5only. UsethechassisConfig command to change the chassis
configuration. The valid options are:

• Option 1 — One (up to) 128-port logical switch. This chassis mode

supports CP4 control processor blades managing FC4–16.

• Option 5 — One (up to) 384-port logical switch. This chassis mode

supports CP4 control processor blades managing the FC4–16,
FC4–32, and F C 4–48.

IMPORTANT:

Remove a filler panel only when installing a port blade. Any
slot that is not occupied by a port blade requires a filler panel to
ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust.

Installing the por t blade

The FC4–16 and FC4–32 port blades use the same procedure.
However, the FC4–48 differs slightly in design. Port blade-specific
instructions are called out where applicable, as follows:

The 4/256 SAN Director chassis has a grounding connection
above the power connectors.

1. Locate an appropriate slot. Install port blades in slots 1 through 4;

and 7 through 10.

NOTE:

For details on supported mixed blade configurations, refer to
the

HP StorageWorks SAN Director installation guide

.

2. Orient the port blade so that the ports are at the front of the chassis

and the flat side of the port blade is on the left, see Figure 4.Hold
the port blade by the edges of the metal pan. Do not use the
ejectors to hold the port blade.

CAUTION:
