Overview of Installing the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 2-11 After the hub is installed in the rack, you are ready to connect the Multi-Mode Fibre Channel Cables and to power up the unit. Figure 2-11.
2-12 Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 Installation Guide Installing the Rubber Feet for a Desktop Installation If the unit will not be installed in a rack, you will need to attach the four rubber feet provided in the shipping box. These feet stabilize the base of the unit and minimize damage to any surface on which the unit rests. Turn the hub over and install one rubber foot in each corner of the unit.
Overview of Installing the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 2-13 Identifying the Rear Panel Components The rear panel of the hub provides the LEDs, connectors, and button you will need to complete the rack installation. See the figure below and Table 2-1 to identify the components on the rear panel. See Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” for using the rear panel components when troubleshooting the hub. 2 3 4 5 6 1 Figure 2-13.

OFF Unit is OFF or there is a power failure. See Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” for troubleshooting suggestion. ON Hub is running a self test. If LED remains on longer than 60 seconds, indicates unit failure.
Overview of Installing the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 2-15 Connecting the GBIC Module and the Fibre Channel Cable to the Hub The hub has 12 modular, gigabit-per-second user-configurable interface ports. These 12 ports are compliant with the GigaBit Interface Converter, GBIC specification. Standard GBIC Modules are hot-pluggable. To connect an FC-AL to the hub, you will need to install a standard GBIC Module followed by a Fibre Channel cable into one of the 12 ports.
2-16 Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 Installation Guide Figure 2-15. Installing a Fibre Channel cable 3. Continue to install GBIC Modules and Fibre Channel Cables for all active port connections. 4. Provide support, with user-supplied tie-wraps, for the installed cables so as not to have a bend radius of less than 3 inches. 5. Route the cable(s) to prevent damage from sharp edges or from being crushed by nearby equipment.
Overview of Installing the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 2-17 Connecting the Power Cord and Performing a Self Test After installing the Fibre Channel cables to the hub, you are ready to supply power and run a system check. 1. Plug the AC power cord into the hub, then into a grounded AC outlet. The unit will begin to run self test, which lasts 15 to 60 seconds. During self test, all LEDs will turn on.
2-18 Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 Installation Guide 2. Verify that the top green GBIC LEDs illuminate on all ports where GBIC Modules are installed. 2 G B Figure 2-17. Checking the GBIC LEDs 3. Verify that the bottom amber Bypass Port LEDs illuminate on all connected ports that are not participating on the loop. For example, Port 2 in the figure below is not participating in the loop. Ports that do not detect valid FC-AL links will be bypassed automatically.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting This chapter covers the following information about your new Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12: ■ Troubleshooting guidelines ■ Troubleshooting the hub with the rear panel LEDs and Reset Button Troubleshooting Guidelines If there is a problem accessing an FC-AL device connected to the hub, the source of the problem can be the FC-AL device, the hub, the host, or any of the connections between the host and device.
3-2 Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 Installation Guide Troubleshooting with the LEDs and the Reset Button If you are having problems with the hub, find the symptom in Table 3-1 that best describes what you are observing, and attempt the solution that seems appropriate. Where more than one solution is possible, the most likely solution is listed first.
Troubleshooting 3-3 Performing a Self Test after the Initial Power-Up One of the quickest methods to check the ports and the hub is to run a self test. Self test will check those ports with active loop devices connected. For example, to check all 12 ports, you will need to have active loop devices connected to all 12 ports. See Chapter 2, “Overview of Installing the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub12,” for cabling instructions. 1.
3-4 Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 Installation Guide 2. Verify that the green GBIC LED illuminates on all of the ports with a GBIC Module. 2 G B Figure 3-2. Checking the GBIC LEDs 3. Verify that the Bypass LED illuminates on all connected ports not participating on the loop. For example, Port 2 in the figure below is not participating in the loop. Ports that do not detect valid FC-AL links will be automatically bypassed.
