Overview

Use these instructions to set up the HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director

Switch as a standalone unit.

These instructions provide basic configuration steps. For detailed rack

mount and configuration instructions, see the HP StorageWorks SAN

Director Switch hardware reference guide and the HP StorageWorks

Fabric OS 6.2x administrator guide from the storage section on the HP

website: h

Figure 1 shows the port side of the DC04 SAN Director Switch. The figure

shows a full complement of optional blades installed, using the FC8-48

port blade as an example. Your configuration will vary if you purchased

other optional blades.

Verify installation requirements

To set up the DC04 SAN Director Switch for the first time, you will need:

• At least two people to safely slide the DC04 SAN Director Switch

from one surface to another.

• 1/2-inch socket wrench (to remove pallet bolts).

• #2 Phillips screwdriver.

• Pallet jack.

• Hydraulic lift or assisted lift, able to raise to a minimum of 140 cm

(55 in) with a minimum capacity of 113 kg (250 lb).

• Power cables and serial cable (provided in the accessory kit).

• Workstation with a serial port or terminal server port and a terminal

emulator application (such as HyperTerminal).

• Ethernet IP addresses for the switch (1) and for the Control Processor

(CP) and Core Switch blades (2), a total of three addresses.

• Ethernet cabling (optional) for Telnet access.

• Fiber optic cables, cable ties, and cable pillars.

• Optional Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or Extended form-factor

pluggable (XFP) optical transceivers, as required. Order the optical

transceivers (SFP and XFP) from HP. The DC04 SAN Director Switch

supports SWL, LWL, and ELWL transceivers.

Verify the operating environment

• Install in a space that is 9 rack units (9U) high, 61.29 cm (24.09 in)

deep. 1U is equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in).

• Do not place on the floor because this will interfere with cable man-

agement and routing.

• Plan for cable management before installing. Manage cables by

routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the chassis, or

through cable channels.

• Air-intake and exhaust vents must have a minimum of 2 inches of

clearance.

• The air temperature on the air-intake side is less than 40º C (104º F)

during operation.

• Locate dedicated electrical branch circuits that meet the following

requirements:

• 200–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz (two branch circuits)

• Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical

codes

• Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size adequate for the electrical

rating on the chassis nameplate

• Grounded outlets installed by a licensed electrician, compatible

with the power cords

Unpack the carton and verify contents

The following steps are required to ensure correct installation and

operation.

CAUTION:

Use safe lifting practices when moving the product. A fully

populated DC04 SAN Director Switch (four FC8–48 port cards,

192 ports) weighs approximately 103.5 kg (228.2 lb) and

requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to install.

NOTE:

The DC04 SAN Director Switch packaging does not incorporate

a wood pallet and pallet brackets. The chassis sits on top of a

plastic shipping tray.

1. Remove the upper portion of the shipping crate.

a. Cut the bands around the packaging.

b. Lift the carton off the chassis. Leave the foam on top of the

chassis to hold the kits in place during transfer to the installation

area. Save the shipping carton for future use.

c. Leave the chassis on top of the plastic shipping tray if the chassis

must be transported to the installation location.

2. Verify the carton contents. The DC04 SAN Director Switch includes

the contents listed in Table 1.

3. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the new chassis

to the installation area. Doorways must be wider than 91 cm (36

in).

4. Remove the port side exhaust kit, accessory kit, packing foam, and

antistatic plastic from the chassis and set aside.

5. Remove the chassis door from the switch.

6. Remove the vertical cable management fingers.

7. Use a lift to raise the chassis to the correct level. If you are installing

the chassis in a cabinet, follow the instructions provided in the rack

kit installation procedure, or the port side exhaust kit installation

procedure documentation available on the HP website: h

ttp://

www.hp.com/support/manuals

8. If applicable, lock the wheels of the lift.

9. Gently slide the chassis onto the final installation surface, ensuring

that it remains supported during the transfer.

10. Ensure the chassis is oriented so that the port or the nonport side

has access to intake air.

11. Reinstall the vertical cable management fingers.

12. Reinstall the chassis door.

Table 1 DC04 SAN Director Switch shipping carton contents

The chassis includes:

• CP blades (CP8)

• Core Switch blades (CR4S-8)

• Port blades, application blades, and encryption blades (included

based on customer specification)

• Blade slot filler panels (for slots not filled by blades)

• Port side exhaust kit

• WWN cards

• WWN bezel (logo plate)

• Power supplies

• Blower assemblies

• Vertical cable management fingers

• Chassis door

The accessory kit includes:

• HP StorageWorks product documentation

• HP StorageWorks documentation

• ESD grounding strap

• RS-232 serial cable, which has an adapter at one end to provide

an RJ-45–style connector.

Power on the switch

1. Use the supplied power cords. Ensure that the facility's power

receptacle is the correct type, supplies the required voltage, and is

properly grounded.

2. Connect the two AC power cords to the power supply assemblies.

3. Connect the power cords to a power source with 200--240 VAC,

47--63 Hz.

TIP:

HP highly recommends using a high-voltage line

(200--240 VAC) for better power-conversion efficiency.

4. Turn the AC power switches on the power supplies to ON (I). The LED indicators on the AC power switches display a steady green light. 5. The switch performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it is powered on. POST takes approximately 10 minutes. Configure IP addresses The DC04 SAN Director Switch requires three IP addresses—one for each CP blade (CP0 and CP1) and one for the single logical switch.
