4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch chassis
This section describes the chassis front (port side) and rear (nonport side).
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch port side
All L EDs reside on the port side of the switch (see Figure 1). The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN
Switch enclosure uses forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport
side of the chassis through the enclosure and exhausting at the port side.
See Interpreting LED activity on page 69 for a complete description of switch LEDs.

Activating additional 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch ports
The 4/16 SAN Switch models offer 8, 12, or 16 licensed ports. To enable ports
8 through 11, you must purchase and install one or more HP StorageWorks 4-PortUpgrade Licenses. To enable ports 12 through 15, you must purchase and install a
second HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade License.
To activate additional ports:
1. Use the portshow command to verify the number of p orts licensed on your switch.
The port status output indicates Started and Licensed for enabled ports. See
the Fabric OS command reference manual for specific information on this command.
2. Use the switchshow command to obtain your SAN Switch WWN, which your HP
representative requires to assign a license key.

3. Contact your HP representative to purchase th e HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade
License, part number T4260A.
4. Upon receipt of the HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade License, install the license:
a.Log in to the 4/16 Switch as admin.
b.Issue the licenseadd command, followed by the license key enclosed in
quotation marks. (The license key consists of approximately 16 uppercase
and lowercase letters and numerals.)
NOTE:
Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter the key incorrectly,
the license will not function properly.
c.Issue the licenseshow command to verify that the license is valid. If a
licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to reboot the system. The product is available
immediately after you enter the license key.

Enabling E_Ports on the 4/8 SAN Switch
The 4/8 SAN Switch requires that you purchase the Full Fabric Upgrade License, part
number T4261A, to enable E_Ports (the 4/16 SAN Switch ships with the Full Fabric
license installed). The switch, by default, cannot be connected to another switch until this
license is installed. Without the license, the switch can still be directly connected to hosts
and storage devices. To install the Full Fabric Upgrade License,usethelicenseadd
command. After it has been installed, the license appears under the licenseshow
command as Full Fabric License and indicates that E_Ports are now automatically
enabled when interswitch links (ISLs) are connected.
