Fibre Channel Bridges
HP SureStore E SCSI Bridge FC 4/2
The HP SureStore E SCSI Bridge FC 4/2 is a user-expandable device
that offers one or two short-wave optical Fibre Channel (FC) ports and
one to four Fast-Wide Differential SCSI ports. The bridge allows you to
connect your SCSI tape library into a FC SAN. For tape SAN
configurations, only one of the Bridge’s FC ports should be used.
Typical installations will have the bridge connected to either a single
host or a switched fabric. For a single host, the unit can be directly
attached to the FC host bus adapter (HBA) in a Point-to-Point fashion; in
FC switch fabric environments, the bridge is plugged into the switch.
Connecting the HP SureStore E SCSI Bridge FC 4/2 to the FC
SAN:
1. Plug in the bridge power cord.
2. Open the door on the front panel and turn the power on (see Figure
2-8). After approximately one minute, the bridge will complete the
self-test and display system status.
