INTRODUCING THE FC 6164
The HP Surestore FC Switch 6164 provides a 64-port enterprise-class fibre channel switching solution for any-to-any connectivity requirements in a Storage Area Network (SAN). The FC 6164 provides a cost-effective means of meeting the large-port-count requirements of workgroups and enterprises.
The FC 6164 is a rack-mountable solution, comprised of a chassis and six fully integrated switch modules, with preconfigured inter-switch link (ISL) fiber optic cables and enhanced management software. The FC 6164 includes Fabric Manager, a management application that provides a centralized view of the integrated switch modules to simplify administration and maintenance.
Using this preconfigured, stand-alone fabric as a building block of larger fabrics, you can scale your storage environment as needed while leveraging your existing server and storage infrastructure.

Management Tools
You can manage the FC 6164 at the fabric level and at the switch level.
Fabric-level Management Tool
•Fabric Manager
Fabric Manager provides a centralized, high-level fabric view of the FC 6164, and all other switches if connected in a larger SAN, allowing for easy administration of the fabric. When more detailed information is requested, Fabric Manager interacts seamlessly with Web Tools to provide switch-level information.
Fabric Manager is included with the FC 6164 product, and is installed on a workstation computer, instead of on the switch, thereby using less switch resources. The workstation computer must be on the same network as the switches being managed.

MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The FC 6164 is a plug-and-play fabric that provides 64 user ports, and is comprised of the following items:
a chassis with a removable front door
six FC Silkworm 2250 switches (Each 2250 switch has one serial port and one Ethernet port)
one serial cable
six power cables
all required ISL (inter-switch link) fiber optic cables and ISL GBICs
Chassis-level Information
The FC 6164 chassis includes cable-routing holes in the upper, lower, and side panels for easy cable management.
A color-coded ISL cable diagram is provided on the inside bottom of the chassis, for reference when switches or ISL cables are being replaced (see
Chapter 4, “Maintenance Procedures”, for the cable and switch replacement
procedures). Each port should be connected by the ISL cable to the other
15
port that has the same color in the diagram. This color should also match the label color on the associated ISL cable.

GBICs
Fiber Optic Cables
The FC 6164 is compatible with the following types of GBICs:
short wave GBICs
long wave GBICs
short wave serial ID GBICs
long wave serial ID GBICs
smart GBICS (available from Finisar)
The FC 6164 product includes SWL (short wave length) GBICs for the ISL (inter-switch link) ports. GBICs for the user ports are not included.
The FC 6164 product includes gray fiber optic cables for the ISL ports. Fiber optic cables for the user ports are not included.
Standard fiber optic cables can be used for the user ports, and connections can be made to the GBICs inserted in the user ports using standard dual SC plug connectors, as shown in Figure 1. The fiber optic connectors are keyed and must be inserted into the GBIC module connector in proper alignment.
CAUTION
The fiber optic cables are fragile and should not be bent to a
radius of less than 0.5 inches.
Do not force the fiber optic plug into the GBIC module because this can damage the connector, the GBIC module, or both. Verify that the fiber optic connector is clean, free of dust or debris, and correctly aligned before inserting the connector into the GBIC module.

25
The FC 6164 is a high-port count integrated fabric comprised of six switch modules in a rack mountable chassis.
If installing the FC 6164 in a closed or multi-rack assembly, ensure the air temperature measured inside the FC 6164 chassis door does not exceed 40°C during operation.
Ensure the airflow available to the switch fabric is at least 300 cfm (cubic feet per minute).
Verify that the fully-loaded chassis does not unbalance the rack or exceed the rack’s mechanical limits, with all six FC 6164 switches secured in the chassis and with one switch partially extended out of the chassis.
Verify the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate according to the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable branch circuit ground connection.
It is strongly recommended that the EIA Rack be mechanically secured to prevent tipping over in an earthquake.

Unpacking the FC 6164
To unpack the FC 6164:
1. Open the shipping carton.
2. Remove all of the packaging materials.
3. Remove the screws holding the FC 6164 to the pallet.
Installing the FC 6164 in the Rack
This section provides the step-by-step procedure for installing the FC Switch 6164 in either an HP rack or a Compaq/Rittal 19-inch rack.
Note
Most of the steps in this procedure are unnecessary if the FC 6164 was installed at an HP integration center prior to shipment. However, Steps
18 and 19 (assembling and installing the plenum) and Step 21 (installing
the switch door) must be performed for factory-integrated switches (see pages 47 and 50).
Rackmount Safety Guidelines
In a rackmount installation, follow these safety guidelines:
When installing a switch in a closed or multi-rack assembly, make
certain the air temperature, measured at the front panel, does not exceed
40° C during operation.
Ensure that the airflow available to the switch is at least 300 cfpm.
Verify the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate. Refer
to the switch’s nameplate for its power requirements.
Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable ground
connection. Do not rely on connection to a branch circuit, such as power strips.
Route and support the power cord to ensure that it does not become
crimped or damaged and to prevent it from interfering with other equipment and cabling installed in the rack.
The FC 6164 weighs approximately 200 pounds. A lift is required to
move and position the switch safely, and at least two people are required
28 HP Surestore FC Switch 6164 Installation and Reference Guide
to lift and position the switch onto the lift. Two or more people are also required to move the switch from the lift into the rack and when positioning the switch in the rack. Move the switch chassis slowly and carefully at all times, and continue supporting it until it is correctly positioned on the rail tray and fastened to the rack. Use extreme caution when handling or transporting the switch to prevent injury to personnel, damage to the switch, and/or damage to the rack and other equipment mounted in it.
