System Components

The FC Entry Switch 8B or FC Switch 8B consists of the following
components:

• A chassis designed to be mounted in a 1U rack space, w ith forced -air
cooling that flows fr om the fan side of the switch to the cable side.

• Eight optical ports, compatible with SFP (small form factor pluggable)
media.

• One RS-232 serial port (DB9 connector) on the SFP media side.

2

SETUP

• One IEEE compliant RJ-45 connector on the SFP media side for use

• Human-readable labels (including IP address label) and bar code labels

• A total of 20 LEDs:

with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet or in-band.

on the top of the switch.

– One LED on the SFP media side to indic at e the overall switch status.
– Two LEDs for each of the eight ports to indicate port status and link

speed information.

– Two LEDs for t he Ether net po rt to indi cate port s tatus and l ink s peed

information.

19

SFP Media Side

– One LED in the center of the fan side to indicate the overall switch

status.

• One universal input power supply.

•Five fans:
– Two dedicated to cooling the power supply, three dedicated to

cooling the motherboard.

– Air is pulled in through the rear intake and pushed out through the

vents in the SFP media side.

• Three digital thermometers, capable of sensing a temperature range
from -55°C to +125°C, in 0.5°C increments.

• A real-time clock (RTC) with a 10-year battery and 56 bytes of
NVRAM.

Figure 16 shows the SFP media side of the switch, which contains the

power connector, IP label, serial port, switch status LED, fiber optic ports
and their corresponding LEDs, and the Ethernet port and its corresponding
LEDs.

Figure 16. The SFP Media Side of the FC Entry Switch 8B and FC Switch 8B

The switch ports are col or-coded into two groups of four, to indicate which
ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group.

20 Getting Started Guide

Fan Side

Note ISL Trunking is a Fabric OS feature that enables distribution of

traffic over the combined bandwidth of up to four ISLs between two
directly adjacent switches, while preserving in-order delivery. For
information about ISL Trunking, refer to the ISL Trunking User’s Guide.

Figure 17 shows the fan side of the switch, which contains the fa ns an d the

switch status LED.

Figure 17. The Fan Side of the FC Entry Switch 8B and FC Switch 8B

Power Supply

The power supply is universal and capable of functioning worldwide
without using voltage jumpers or switches. It meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge
voltage requirements and is autoranging in terms of accommodating input
voltages and line fre quencies. The power supply has its own built -in fan for
cooling, pushing the air towards the SFP media side of the switch. See

“Power Supply” on page 47 for a list of power supply specifications.

To turn the FC Entry Switch 8B or FC Switch 8B on, connect the power
cable to the power connector on the switch and to a power source. The
switch takes approximately 4.5 minutes to boot after it is turned on.

To turn the switch off, disconnect the power cable from the power source.

Setup 21

Note Rem oving all power from th e switch tri ggers a system reset. When

power is restored, all devices are returned to the initial state and the switch
runs POST, a system check that lasts approximately 2.5 minutes.

POST can be skipped by using the fastboot command. For more
information abo ut thi s command, re fer to th e Fabric OS Refer enc e Manual.
A fast boot requires approximately two minutes to complete.

Fabric Operating System

Included with the switch is the Fabric OS. The system provides a large
number of commands and libraries to manage real-time tasks. See the
Fabric OS Reference Manual and the Fabric OS Procedures Guide for
details.

SFPs

The FC Entry Switch 8B or FC Switch 8B accommodates up to 8 SFPs
(small form factor pluggable media). The SFPs supported are the SWL
(short wavelength) and LWL (long wavelength) fibre-optics. Shortwave
SFPs have black dots visible from the fr ont. Longwave SFPs have blue dots
visible from the front. The SFPs qualified by HP are 1Gb/2Gb capable.

To install an SFP, position the SFP so that the key (the tab near the
cable-end of the SFP) is on top and insert the SFP into the port until it is
firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. For more specific
instructions, refer to the SFP manufacturer’s documentation.

Note The SFP is keyed so that it can only be inserted with the correct

orientation into the port. If the SFP does not slide in easily, ensure it is
correctly oriented.

Fibre Channel Cable Connections

LC cables are used to plug into SFPs. The cables required for the
HP/Brocade 2400 and 2800 switches have SC connectors and connect into
GBIC optic modules. LC to SC cables or adapters are required to connect
the cables together.

22 Getting Started Guide

To connect an SC cable to the FC Entry Switch 8B or FC Switch 8B, use
the HP C7540A - 2M LC male - SC male cable adapter.

Connect inter switch links (ISLs) between two FC Entry Switch 8B or FC
Switch 8B products using an LC to LC cable.

power source

• Workstation that has a terminal emula tor applica tion (such as
HyperTerminal)

• Serial cable provided with the switch for connecting the switch to the
workstation

• An unused IP address

• Ethernet cable for connecting the switch to the workstation or to a
network containing the workstation

• SFPs and FC cables as required to connect the switch to the fabric

To configure the switch and connect it to a fabric:

1. Replace the factory IP address and related inform ation with the IP
information provided by your network administrator by completing the
following steps:

a. Remove the shipping plug from the serial port and insert the serial

cable provided with the switch.

b. Connect the other end of the serial cable to an RS-232 serial port on

the workstation. If no RS-232 serial port is available on the
workstation, the ad apter on the end of the serial cable ca n be removed
to use the RJ-45 connector to create a serial connection.

c. V erify t hat the switch has power and POST is compl eted (LED display

has returned to a standard healthy state).

d. Disable any serial communication programs running on the

workstation.

when connecting directl y to the workstation) or to an Ethe rnet network
containing the work station (us e a straight -through Ethe rnet cable a nd
the assigned IP address from Step 1 above).

Note The switch can now be accessed remotely, using telnet (although

only one telnet session can be active at a time) or Web Tools. Ensure that
the switch is not being modified from any other connections during the
remaining steps.

3. Log on to the switch with administrative privileges by telnet. The default
administrative logon is admin and the default password is password.

CAUTION Do not change the default password unless local administration

policy requires it.

4. Modify the domain IDs if desired by completing the following steps:

Note The default domain ID is 1. If the defau lt domain I D is alrea dy in use

when the switch is connected to the fabric, the domain ID for the new
