instructions
Installation and safety considerations
The 4Gb SAN Switch installs in the I/O bays in the rear of the HP c-Class BladeSystem
enclosure. Refer to the appropriate BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide
for specific
enclosure requirements.
Installing multiple switches
Install and confi gure one 4Gb SAN Switch at a time. This is required so that Ethernet IP
address conflicts do not occur with duplicate default Ethernet IP addresses.
IMPORTANT:
DHCP is enabled by default for switches running Fabric OS 5.2.1b (switch rev 0C) or later.
In cases where DHCP is available, IP address conflicts will not occur, simplifying multiple
switch installations. See Using External DHCP.
22 Setup
Each switch must be assigned a unique Ethernet IP address during configuration. Once
the default Ethernet IP address on the 4Gb SAN Switch has been changed, you may
install additional 4 Gb SAN Switches in the enclosure.
See the appropriate HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide for help
identifying your specific enclosure setup, available connections and power requirements.
Electrical considerations
The 4Gb SAN Switc
h requires 35 watts, provided by the enclosure. No other power
requirement or provision exists.
Environmental considerations
Ensure proper cooling and ventilation by verifying the following:
• Theairventsontheenclosurearenotblockedorrestricted.
• The ambient air temperature at the front of the enclosure does not exceed 35°C
(95°F) while the switch is operating.
IMPORTANT:
Thedustcoversthatshipwithyour4GbSANswitch
must
be inserted into any ports
where SFPs are not installed, to help contain air flow in the BladeSystem chassis.

23
Install the 4Gb SAN Switch
CAUTION:
For switch revision levels 0A and 0B only (running Fabric OS versions earlier than
5.2.1b)
—DHCP
is not supported on these models. Do not install multiple switches
at the same time with default addresses, as address conflicts will occur. Locate switch
revision levels on the switch or shipping carton. See Set the IP address.
For switch revision levels 0C and above only (Fabric OS 5.2.1b or later)
—DHCPis
supported an
d enabled by default for switches running Fabric OS 5.2.1b (switch rev
0C) or later
. In this case, IP address conflicts will not occur during multiple switch
installations. Locate switch revision levels on the switch or shipping carton. See
Using External DHCP.
The B rocade 4Gb SAN switch is a hot-pluggable device. The enclosure power may be
on or off when inserting the switch. Follow these steps to install the 4Gb SAN Switch.
1. Locate the appropriate interconnect bay in the rear of the enclosure per the
appropriate HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide provided with
your enclosure.
Remove the slot cover (if installed).
IMPORTANT:
P opulate all enclosure I/O bays with the appropriate component (for
example a switch, Pass-Thru or one of the blank panels provided with
the enclosure).
CAUTION:
Properly ground yourself before handling the switch.
2. Press the handle latch to release the installation handle. See Figure 4.

according to your enclosure’s specificconfiguration. Push firmly into the interconnect
bay. See Figure 5.

4. Press the installation handle into the latch to lock the Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch
in place.
OA verifies power
As defined
earlier, the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure
management processor that manages the devices contained within the enclosure. The
OA provides a single point from which to perform basic management tasks on switches
or server blades installed in the enclosure.
IMPORTA
NT:
HP recom
mends reading the appropriate
HP BladeSystem Enclosure User Guide
and the
HP
BladeSystem Onboard Adm inistrator User Guide
. Reading these guides in sequence will
promote an overall understanding of your specificenclosuremodel.
Once the switch is installed in the interconnect bay, the OA verifies that the switch
type matches the mezzanine cards present on the servers. If there is no mismatch, the
OA powers up the switch.
If the switch does not power up, check the enclosure and switch status via the OA web
interface. Refer to the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide.
