Verify the carton contents

Verify that the carton contains the following:

• One Encryption SAN Switch with two power supplies and three fan

assemblies.

• One accessory kit with the following items:

• Four rubber mounting feet (for standalone setup on a ﬂat surface)

• Two grounded power cords

• Power distribution unit (PDU) power cords

• One serial cable, approximately 3 meters (10 feet)

• HP StorageWorks product documentation, including HP

instructions, Read Me First, Safety Guides, User License, and

Warranty

• HP StorageWorks B-Series Data Center Fabric Manager CD

ri fy installation requirements

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

• Workstationwithaninstalledterminalemulator,suchas

HyperTerminal

• T wo unused IP addresses and corresponding subnet masks and

gateway addresses: one IP address for the cluster interconnect;

anotherIPaddressforthemanagementport

• Serial cable (supplied with the switch)

• Ethernet cable

• Access to an FTP server for backing up the switch conﬁguration

(optional)

• SFP transceivers and compatible cables

IMPORTANT:

Order SFP transceivers separately. The Encryption SAN Switch

only supports HP transceivers labeled “B-Series FC SFP".

Check h

ttp://ww w.hp.com for more information on supported

transceivers.

Site plan

ning

To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the nonport side

(which co

ntains the air intake vents) facing a cool air aisle. Verify

that the a

mbient air temperature does not exceed 40° Celsius (104°

Fahrenh

eit) and that the ambient humidity remains between 20% an d

85% whil

e the switch is operating.

To install a nd operate the switch successfully, ensure that:

• The primary AC input is 90–264 VAC (the switch autosenses input

voltage), 47–63 Hz.

• 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

spec

iﬁed by the electrical rating on the switch namep late.

witch hardware reference guide.

Rack mount guidelines

HP strongly recommends installing the switch in one of the following

optional HP custom racks:

• HP StorageWorks System/e Rack

• HP StorageWorks 9000 Series Rack

• HP StorageWorks 10000 Series Rack

• HP StorageWorks 10000 G2 Series Rack

Follow these guidelines:

• Plan a rack space that is 1 or 2 rack units high (4.44 cm/1.75 in),

48.3 cm (19 in) wide, and up to 61 cm (24 in) deep.

• Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit

connection, a nd maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a

secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.

• Ensure that airﬂow and temperature requirements are being met,

especially if the switch is installed i n a closed or multi-rack assembly.

• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the

rack’s weight limits or unbalance the rack.

• Secure the rack to ensure stabilit y in case of unexpected movement.

For additional installation, electrical, environmental, and other

considerations, see the HP StorageWorks 8Gb SAN Switch hardware

reference guide.

Install a standa

lone switch

1. Unpack the swit

ch and verify the contents as described in Verify

the carton cont

ents are included.

2. Apply the adhe

sive rubber feet to prevent the switch from sliding off

the supporting s urface.

a. Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the

switch to ensure that they are free of dust or other debris that

might lessen the adhesion.

b. Withtheadhesivesideagainstthechassis,placeonerubber

foot in eac

h indentation and press into place.

3. Place the s

witch on a ﬂat, sturdy surface.

Setupinasingle-switchconﬁguration

Tosetupinasingle-switchconﬁguration, you will need:

• Standard screwdriver

• Fixed IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the switch (no DHCP server)

• Subnet mask value

• Default gateway value

• World Wide Name (WWN), located on the switch ID pullout tab

• Ethernet connection (hub or switch)

• Host computer with a host bus adapter (HBA) installed.

This computer should be on the same subnet as the switch. Do not

run the host computer in th e SAN.

• Ethernet and Fibre Channel cables

• Disk array with Fibre Channel por ts

• Browser that allows pop-up windows

Power on the switch

1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies and then to power

sourcesonseparatecircuitstoprotectagainstACfailure.

2. Pow

er on the power supplies by ﬂipping both AC switches to the

“1”

position. The power supply LEDs are amber until power-on

sel

f-test (POST) is complete, and then change to green.

3. After POST is complete, verify that the swi tch power LED on the port

side is green and the status LED is off.

IMPORTANT:

Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is

set .

Connect the serial cable

1. Remove the plug from the serial port and connect th e serial cable

provided with the switch.

2. Connect the c able to an RS-232 serial port on th e workstation.

3. Disable any serial communication programs running on the

workstation.

• If the switch is powered on after it is connected to the fabric, and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. • If the switch is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on, and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another switch in the fabric. 3. Disable the switch by entering the switchDisable command.
