1 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Product Description The HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B is a 16-port Fibre Channel gigabit switch that supports link speeds up to 2 Gbps. Each port automatically negotiates to the highest common speed of all devices connected to the port. The ports are compatible with SFPs (small form factor pluggable media), are universal and self-configuring, and are capable of individually becoming an F_Port (fabric enabled), FL_Port (fabric loop enabled), or an E_Port (expansion port).
• The ambient air temperature near the switch must not exceed 40 degrees Celsius. This is particularly important to verify if the switch is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly. • The volume of air flow available to the switch must be at least 300 cubic feet per minute. The air vents must not be blocked. Follow these safety guidelines for rack-mount installation: • The rack space must be 1U high, 19 inches wide, and 24 inches deep.
• Four rubber mounting feet (used only for setting up the switch as a stand-alone unit) • Two rails and one bag of rail mounting hardware (required if the switch is to be installed in a rack): • hp surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B Quick Start Guide • HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B Documentation CD-ROM Installing the Switch as a Stand-Alone Unit This section provides instructions for setting up the switch as a stand-alone unit on a flat surface.
b. Turn on the power supply (flip the AC switch to “I”) when ready to supply power to the switch. The switch automatically runs POST (power on self-test) each time it is turned on. c. If the FC 16B includes a second power supply, repeat Steps 4a and 4b for the remaining power supply. Note Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see “Configuring and Connecting the Switch” on page 17.
The following items are required to install the switch in a rack: • FC 16B switch • Power cables • #2 Phillips and T25 Torx screwdrivers • Rails and rail mounting hardware: (2) Rear mounting bracket (6) #8-32 x 5/16 Phillips pan-head screw with captive star lock washer (6) #8 Flat washer (6) M5 Torx head screw with captive lock washer (2) Rubber washer (4) M5 U-type Tinnerman clip (HP rack only) (4) #10-32 square Tinnerman nut (Compaq/Rittal rack only) (4) #10-32 x 5/8 Phillips pan-head screw with atta
For proper airflow, the SFP media side of the FC 16B faces the rear of the rack. This mounting allows air to enter from the front of the rack and to exhaust at the rear of the rack, similar to other rack-mounted equipment. This prevents switch overheating which may cause it to fail CAUTION To install the switch in a rack: 1. Check contents of the shipping carton to verify all the required parts and hardware are available. 2. Choose a mounting location in the rack for the switch. 3.
– For a Compaq/Rittal rack, assemble each of the two brackets with (2) spacers, (2) M5 flat washers, and (1) M5 Torx head screw with captive lock washers as shown in Figure 3. For the Compaq/Rittal rack, the alignment pins will be resting on the top surfaces of the spacers. Note Figure 3. Installing the Rear Rail-Tray Brackets (Compaq/Rittal Rack) 4.
Figure 4. Installing the Tinnerman Clips (HP Rack) – For a Compaq/Rittal rack, install (2) #10-32 square Tinnerman nuts for each of the front columns of the rack in the top and bottom positions of the three-hole EIA pattern. Also install (1) spacer in the center position for each column on the front of the rack. See Figure 5. Figure 5.
5. Assemble the outer rails by completing the following steps: a. As an aid in assembly, two rubber washers have been included to help keep the rear slotted portion of the outer rail flush against the rear rail-tray brackets. Install them as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6. Installing the Rubber Washers b. Insert the alignment pins attached to the outer rail front flange into the center opening in the rack. For the Compaq/Rittal rack, the alignment pins will be resting on the top surfaces of the spacers.
Figure 7. Assembling the Outer Rails (HP Rack) – For a Compaq/Rittal rack, install one #10-32 x 5/8 Phillips pan-head screw in the upper hole location of the right rail. Then, install one #10-32 x 5/8 Phillips pan-head screw in the lower location of the left rail. 6. Assemble the two inner rails (one on each side) to the switch using (6) #8-32 x 5/16 Phillips pan-head screws, and #8 flat washer as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8.
Do not use any other screws other than the six that are provided. Use of any longer lengths can cause damage to internal components of the switch. Before tightening screws, make sure that the rails are centered to the overall height of the switch. CAUTION 7. Insert the switch with the attached inner rails into the outer rails. – For an HP rack, assemble (2) remaining M5 Torx screws to complete the installation. See Figure 9. Figure 9.
b. Turn on the power supply (flip the AC switch to “I”) when ready to supply power to the switch. The switch automatically runs POST (power on self-test) each time it is turned on. c. If the FC 16B includes a second power supply, repeat Steps 8a and 8b for the remaining power supply. Note Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see “Configuring and Connecting the Switch” on page 17.
2 SETUP System Components The HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B consists of the following components: • A 1U chassis, designed to be mounted in a 19-inch rack, with forced-air cooling that flows from the power supply side of the switch to the SFP media side. • 16 optical ports, compatible with SFPs (small form factor pluggable media). • One RS-232 serial port (DB9 connector) on the SFP media side. • One IEEE compliant RJ-45 connector on the SFP media side for use with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet or in-band.
– One LED in the center of the power supply side to indicate the overall switch status. • Two universal input and redundant power supplies with AC switches and built-in fans. The power supplies plug into internal blind-mate connectors when installed in the chassis. • Two fan trays, each containing two fans. Air is pulled in through the rear intake and pushed out through the vents on the SFP media side. The fans provide adequate cooling for the maximum switch power rating of 102 Watts.
The ports on the SFP media side of the FC 16B are color-coded in groups with four purple ports alternating with four unmarked ports to indicate which ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group. Note ISL Trunking (an optionally licensed feature) 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.
To turn the FC 16B on, connect one or both power supplies to a power source, then flip the AC power switch to the “I” position. To turn the switch off, turn off both power supplies (if both are installed) by flipping each AC power switch to the “O” position. Note Removing all power from the switch triggers a system reset. When power is restored, all devices are returned to the last saved state and the switch runs POST. Fabric Operating System Included with the switch is the Fabric OS.
