HP B-series 16Gb FC Switches Quick Start Instructiions

• One accessory kit with the following items:
Rack Mount Kit, including rails, rail mounting
hardware, and plenum
◦
◦ HP product documentation, including Read
Me First, Safety Guides, End User License
Agreement and Warranty
• One power cord
NOTE: The HP SN3000B 16Gb Fibre Channel
Switch can, as an option, be configured with a
second power supply/fan assembly, which must
be ordered separately.
Verify the 16Gb FC Switch installation
requirements
To set up the switch for the first time, you will need the
following:
• Workstation with an installed terminal emulator
(such as HyperTerminal)
• Unused IP address and corresponding subnet
mask and gateway address
• Serial cable (supplied with the switch)
• Ethernet cable
• Access to an FTP server, SCP server, or USB
device for backing up the switch configuration
(optional)
• HP B-series SFP+ transceivers and compatible
cables (HP B-series 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceivers
required for 16 Gb/s performance), as required
IMPORTANT: Order transceivers or cables
separately. The HP StoreFabric SN6500B 16Gb
96-port FC Switch, HP SN6000B, and
SN3000B 16Gb FC Switches support only
transceivers labeled B-series SFP+. See the
compatibility matrix at http://
hpsancompat.com/ for more information on
supported transceivers.
Plan the 16Gb FC Switch site environment
To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the
non-port side (which contains the air intake vents)
facing the cool-air aisle. Verify that the ambient air
temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F) and that
the ambient humidity remains between 10% and 85%
while the switch is operating.
NOTE:
• For switches with Port Side Air Intake, install
the switch with the port side facing the
cool-air aisle.
• For the SN6000B and SN3000B, you must
install the plenum if the switch is to be
installed in a rack.
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure
that:
• For the SN6500B 16Gb FC Switch, the primary
AC input is 90–264 VAC, Nominal: 100–240
VAC, 12.0A–5.0A; 47–63 Hz. The switch
auto-senses input voltage.
• For the SN6000B and SN3000B 16Gb switches,
the primary AC input is 85–264 VAC, Nominal:
100–240 VAC, 2.0 A; 47–63 Hz. The switch
auto-senses input voltage.
• The primary outlet is wired correctly, protected
by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance
with local electrical codes.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are
adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on
the switch nameplate.
For additional power supply information, see the HP
B-series 16Gb Switches Hardware Reference Guide.
Install the SN6000B Switch and SN3000B
Switch in a rack using the Rack Mount Kit
You can use the Switch Rack Mount Kits to install your
16Gb FC Switch in an HP 10000 Series Rack.
CAUTION: Install the Rack Mount Kit so that
when the switch is installed, the port side faces
the rear of the rack. This configuration optimizes
performance by:
• Providing better airflow by using a plenum
to force cool air to enter the switch from
the front of the rack
• Providing room for a gradual bend in the
fiber optic cables because the port side of
the switch is set back from the edge of the
rack
Use only the screws provided in the Rack Mount
Kit. Using other screws can cause damage to
internal components.
