1 Introduction to the Edge Switch 2/12
This chapter describes the HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/12 (Edge Switch) and includes the
following topics:
• Edge Switch description, page 11
• Edge Switch features, page 12
• Hardware components, page 15
• Tools and test equipment, page 17
• Optional kits, page 19
Edge Switch description
The Edge Switch 2/12 provides:
• Dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area
network (SAN) environment, including:
• Data connection and flow control between device node ports (N_Ports) as dictated by the
Fibre Channel and Signaling Interface (FC-PH 4.3)
• Creation of a multiswitch fabric using interswitch links (ISLs)
• Connectivity for devices manufactured by multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
• Fibre Channel technology that includes:
• A bandwidth of 2.125 Gbps
• Redundant switched data paths
• A scalable number of active ports
• Long transmission distances (up to 35 km)
• Support for an open-systems interconnection (OSI) computing environment
Edge Switch ports can be configured as:
• Fabric ports (F_Ports)—Provide connectivity for up to 12 switched fabric devices.
• Fabric loop ports (FL_Ports)—Provide arbitrated loop connectivity and fabric attachment for
FC-AL devices. Each FL_Port can theoretically support the connection of 126 FC-AL devices.
• Expansion ports (E_Ports)—Provide interswitch link (ISL) connectivity to fabric directors and
switches. E_Port connectivity is optional and must be configured through a feature key. For more
information about feature keys, See the HP StorageWorks Edge Switch Element Manager user
guide.
• Generic mixed ports (GX_Ports)—Configure ports as generic loop ports (GL_Ports). GX_Ports are
optional and must be configured through a feature key. For more information about feature keys,
see the HP StorageWorks Edge Switch Element Manager user guide.
• Generic ports (G_Ports)—Configure ports as generic ports. G_Ports are optional and must be
configured through a feature key. For more information about feature keys, see the HP
StorageWorks Edge Switch Element Manager user guide.
Edge Switch 2/12 installation guide 11
The Edge Switch can be installed on a table or desktop or mounted in an equipment cabinet or in
any standard equipment rack.
Multiple switches communicate on a local area network (LAN) through one or more 10Base-T
Ethernet hubs.
Edge Switch features
The features of the Edge Switch 2/12 include:
• Scalability from 4 to 12 ports
• 100% dynamic non-blocking, cut-through switching with congestion queuing
• Online error detection, error isolation, and error recovery
• Redundant hot-pluggable components
• Small form factor, hot-pluggable optical transceivers
• Combination short-wave or long-wave laser transceivers
• Redundant power supplies and fan modules
• Online product repair for field replaceable units (FRUs)
• Periodic health check and enhanced system monitoring
• Nondisruptive firmware load and update
Edge Switch management
The Edge Switch 2/12 can be managed and controlled through the following user interfaces:
• The HAFM Basic interface. Using a browser-capable PC and a connection to a LAN to which the
Edge Switch is connected, the Edge Switch can be monitored and managed through the web
server interface embedded in the Edge Switch firmware. The interface provides a GUI similar to
the Element Manager application and supports Edge Switch configuration, statistics monitoring,
and basic operation.
• The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many functions while entering
commands during a Telnet session with the Edge Switch. The primary purpose of the CLI is to
automate management of a large number of switches using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive
interface; no checking is done for pre-existing conditions and no prompts are displayed to guide
users through tasks. See the HP StorageWorks CLI reference guide for directors and edge
switches for detailed information.
Introduction to the Edge Switch 2/1212
Error detection, reporting, and serviceability
The Edge Switch provides the following error-detection, reporting, and serviceability features:
• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on Edge Switch FRUs and adjacent to Fibre Channel ports that
provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.
• FRUs—small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers that are removed or replaced
without disrupting Edge Switch or Fibre Channel link operation.
• A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs without the use of tools
or equipment.
• System alerts and logs that display Edge Switch, Ethernet link, and Fibre Channel link status at
the HAFM Basic interface or remote workstation.
• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs) and port diagnostics
(loopback tests).
• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the Edge Switch (port access is password protected)
that enables installation or service personnel to change the Edge Switch’s Internet Protocol (IP)
address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
NOTE: These Edge Switch parameters can also be changed through a Telnet session,
access for which is provided through a local or remote PC with an Ethernet connection to the
Edge Switch.
Zoning
• Concurrent port maintenance—SFP trancievers and fiber-optic cables are removed and attached
to ports without interrupting other ports or Edge Switch operation.
• Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or Edge Switch. When port
beaconing is enabled, the amber LED associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is
enabled, the system error indicator on the front panel flashes. Beaconing does not affect port or
Edge Switch operation.
• SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB 1.1, transmission control
protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II definition (RFC 1213), or a product-specific MIB that
runs on each Edge Switch. Up to six authorized management workstations can be configured
through the HAFM Basic interface to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap
messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions.
NOTE: For more information about SNMP support provided by HP products, see the HP
StorageWorks SNMP reference guide for Directors and Edge Switches.
The Edge Switch supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into
restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate
with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot
communicate with each other.
Edge Switch 2/12 installation guide 13
Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with
device N_Ports that attach to Edge Switch fabric ports (F_Ports). A zone member is specified by the
port number to which a device is attached, or by the eight-byte (16-digit) world wide name (WWN)
assigned to the host bus adapter (HBA) or Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A device
can belong to multiple zones.
NOTE: By default, zoning is disabled. You must enable zoning to see devices.
CAUTION: If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the Edge Switch fiber-optic cable
configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.
If zoning is implemented by WWN, removal and replacement of a device HBA or Fibre Channel
interface (thereby changing the device WWN) disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include
or exclude a device from a zone.
In Open Fabric mode, only zoning by WWN is supported. Zoning by port numbers is not
supported.
Zones are grouped into zone sets. A zone set is a group of zones that is enabled (activated) or
disabled across all switches in a multiswitch fabric. Only one zone set can be enabled at one time.
Multiswitch fabrics
A Fibre Channel topology that consists of one or more interconnected Edge Switches or Edge Switch
elements is called a fabric. Operational software provides the ability to interconnect switches
(through expansion port [E_Port] connections) to form a multiswitch fabric. The data transmission
path through the fabric is typically determined by fabric elements and is user-transparent. Subject to
zoning restrictions, devices attached to any interconnected Edge Switch can communicate with each
other through the fabric.

5 SFP fiber optic connectors
6 Port LEDs
Figure 1 Edge Switch (front view)
The front panel of the Edge Switch includes the following connectors and indicators:
• Power (green) and Error (amber) LEDs
The Power LED illuminates when the Edge Switch is connected to facility AC power and is
powered on. If the LED extinguishes, a facility power source, power cord, or power distribution
failure is indicated.
The Error LED illuminates when the Edge Switch detects an event requiring immediate operator
attention, such as a FRU failure. The LED remains illuminated as long as an event is active. The
LED extinguishes when the Clear System Error Light function is selected from the Element
Manager. The LED blinks if unit beaconing is enabled. An illuminated Error LED (indicating a
failure) takes precedence over unit beaconing.
• Ethernet LAN connector
The Ethernet LAN connector is a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector that attaches to an Ethernet LAN to provide communication with the HAFM Basic
interface or an SNMP management workstation. Two green LEDs are associated with the LAN
connector. When illuminated, the left LED indicates LAN operation at 10 Mbps, and the right
LED indicates LAN operation at 100 Mbps.
• Initial machine load (IML) button
When the IML button is pressed and held for three seconds, the Edge Switch performs an IML
procedure that takes approximately 30 seconds and resets the following:
• Microprocessor and functional logic for the control processor (CTP) (and firmware is loaded
from FLASH memory).
Edge Switch 2/12 installation guide 15
• Ethernet LAN interface, causing the connection to the HAFM Basic interface to drop
momentarily until the connection automatically recovers.
• Ports, causing all Fibre Channel connections to drop momentarily until the connections
automatically recover.
An IML should be performed only if a CTP failure is indicated. Do not perform an IML on the
Edge Switch unless directed to do so by a procedural step in this manual or by the next level of
support. As a precaution, the IML button is flush mounted to protect against accidental
activation.
• SFP fiber-optic connectors
A single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cable attaches to a port through an SFP transceiver. The
SFP transciever provides a duplex LC interface and can be detached from the Edge Switch port
for easy replacement. Two fiber-optic transceiver types are available:
• Short-wave laser—Short-wave laser SFP transceivers provide short-distance connections (2 to
500 meters) through 50-micron or 62.5-micron multimode fiber.
• Long-wave laser—Long-wave laser SFP transceivers provide long-distance connections (up to
10 kilometers) through 9-micron single-mode fiber.
• Extended long-wave laser—Extended long-wave laser SFP transceivers provide long-distance
connections (up to 35 kilometers) through 9-micron single-mode fiber.
• Port LEDs
Amber and green/blue LEDs to the left of each Fibre Channel port illuminate, extinguish, or
blink to indicate port status and port speed:
• Amber LED illuminates to indicate a port failure.
• Green/blue LED illuminates:
• Green to indicate 1.0625 Gbps port operation
• Blue to indicate 2.125 Gbps port operation

The rear panel of the Edge Switch includes the following:
• Power supply
The Edge Switch contains one power supply assembly with internal cooling fans. The power
supply assembly steps down and rectifies input power to provide 3.3 volts direct current (VDC),
5 VDC, and 12 VDC to the CTP card. The power supply also provides input filtering,
overvoltage protection, and overcurrent protection.
The power supply is input rated at 90 to 264 volts alternating current (VAC). Power supply
requirements are listed in ”Technical specifications” on page 73.
• Cooling fans
Three cooling fans (two integrated in the power supply assembly) provide cooling for the power
supplies and CTP card, as well as redundancy for continued operation if a single fan fails.
• Maintenance port
The rear panel provides a 9-pin RS-232 maintenance port that provides a connection for a local
terminal or dial-in connection for a remote terminal. Although the port is typically used by
authorized maintenance personnel, operations personnel can use the port to configure Edge
Switch network addresses.

Installing the Edge Switch24
• Eight 10x32 panhead screws
• Eight square alignment washers if you are installing the Edge Switch in an HP 9000, 10000, or
11000 series rack
To install the adjustable brackets on the rack:
1. Determine the position of the Edge Switch in the rack.
Each Edge Switch is 1.75 inches or 1U high.
2. Attach four (three-hole) bar nuts to the cabinet frame using eight Phillips panhead screws
(10-32 x 1/2) with split lock and flat washers.
NOTE: Do not install a screw in the center hole of each bar nut.
3. If you are installing the Edge Switch in an HP 9000, 10000, or 11000 series rack, place a
square alignment washer on each panhead screw before inserting in the square cabinet frame
holes:
a. Mount the bar nut on the inside of the cabinet frame. Orient the holes in the bar nut so that
they are aligned closest to the inside edge of the cabinet frame.
b. Secure, but do not completely tighten, all screws.
4. Measure cabinet depth from inside edge to inside edge of the cabinet frame.
5. Assemble two sets of front and rear brackets so that the combined brackets are equal to the
depth of the cabinet.
6. Attach a two-hole bar nut using four Phillips flathead screws (8-32 x 7/16) to hold each
assembled bracket together. Do not completely tighten the screws but tighten them enough to
hold the brackets together.
7. Install the assembled brackets in the cabinet by sliding the mounting brackets between the bar
nut and cabinet frame.
8. Tighten the three-hole bar nut screws on the mounting brackets until the rails are stable, but can
be easily adjusted.
9. Securely tighten the two-hole bar nut screws holding the front and rear brackets together.
NOTE: If you are installing the Edge Switch in an HP rack system/e, complete step 10.
10.Attach another two-hole bar nut at the rear of the last vent slot using four Phillips flathead screws
(8-32 x 7/16) to stabilize the inside ends of the rear brackets.
