4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch chassis  
This section describes the chassis front (port side) and rear (nonport side).  
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch port side  
All LEDs reside on the port side of the switch (see Figure 1). The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN  
Switch enclosure uses forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport  
side of the chassis through the enclosure and exhausting at the port side.  
See Interpreting LED activity on page 69 for a complete description of switch LEDs.

Figure 1 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch port side  
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch nonport side  
The nonport side is used solely for airflow and serial number labels. There are two labels  
on the rear of the chassis: one is the HP serial number, the other is the switch supplier’s  
serial number. The left label also contains the 4/8 SAN Switch or 4/16 SAN Switch  
MAC address and world wide name (WWN).  
Activating additional 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch ports  
The 4/16 SAN Switch models offer 8, 12, or 16 licensed ports. To enable ports  
8 through 11, you must purchase and install one or more HP StorageWorks 4-Port  
Upgrade Licenses. To enable ports 12 through 15, you must purchase and install a  
second HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade License.  
To activate additional ports:  
1. Use the portshow command to verify the number of ports licensed on your switch.  
The port status output indicates Started and Licensed for enabled ports. See  
the Fabric OS command reference manual for specific information on this command.  
2. Use the switchshow command to obtain your SAN Switch WWN, which your HP  
representative requires to assign a license key.

3. Contact your HP representative to purchase the HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade  
License, part number T4260A.  
4. Upon receipt of the HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade License, install the license:  
a. Log in to the 4/16 Switch as admin.  
b. Issue the licenseadd command, followed by the license key enclosed in  
quotation marks. (The license key consists of approximately 16 uppercase  
and lowercase letters and numerals.)  
NOTE:  
Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter the key incorrectly,  
the license will not function properly.  
c. Issue the licenseshow command to verify that the license is valid. If a  
licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid.  
NOTE:  
It is not necessary to reboot the system. The product is available  
immediately after you enter the license key.  
5. Configure the inactive ports. Issue the portstart command to start the ports. This  
command loads the port code, unlike the portenable command, which enables  
the port laser. For example:  
portstart 16–31  
6. Issue the portenable command to enable the ports. For example:  
portenable 16–31  
7. Optional: Issue the portshow command to verify that the newly activated ports  
are started.  
Enabling E_Ports on the 4/8 SAN Switch  
The 4/8 SAN Switch requires that you purchase the Full Fabric Upgrade License, part  
number T4261A, to enable E_Ports (the 4/16 SAN Switch ships with the Full Fabric  
license installed). The switch, by default, cannot be connected to another switch until this  
license is installed. Without the license, the switch can still be directly connected to hosts  
and storage devices. To install the Full Fabric Upgrade License, use the licenseadd  
command. After it has been installed, the license appears under the licenseshow  
command as Full Fabric License and indicates that E_Ports are now automatically  
enabled when interswitch links (ISLs) are connected.

SAN Switch licensing  
SAN Switches operate differently in the network, depending on which HP StorageWorks  
domain licenses are installed. The 4/8 Base SAN Switch has no E_Port, unless you  
purchase and install the HP StorageWorks 4/8 Full Fabric Upgrade License.  
•
Full Fabric license— Allows one or more switches to operate within a domain.  
All SAN Switch Power Pack models ship with this license installed.  
To determine the type of license installed on your SAN Switch, issue the licenseshow  
command at the command line interface (CLI) prompt. The Full Fabric license is listed as  
Fabric license. A list of all licenses currently installed on the switch is displayed,  
as shown in Example 1.  
Example 1:  
switch:admin> licenseshow  
AbbbcDefcQxdezdr:  
Web license  
Zoning license  
Fabric license  
Remote switch license  
Extended fabric license  
Fabric Watch license  
Performance Monitor license  
Trunking license  
Security license  
switch:admin>  
NOTE:  
If the licensed feature is displayed, the feature is installed and immediately available.

Installation and safety considerations  
Install the switch using one of the following methods:  
•
•
As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface. See Installing the switch as a stand-alone  
device on page 40.  
HP highly recommends mounting the switch in one of the following HP customized  
racks:  
•
•
HP System/e Rack  
HP 10000 G2 Series Rack, HP 9000 Series Rack and HP 10000 Series Rack  
See Installing the switch using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit on page 41 for detailed  
instructions.  
Electrical considerations  
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following electrical  
requirements are met. For power supply information, see SAN Switch technical  
specifications on page 131.  
•
•
•
Primary AC input 100–240 VAC, 2.0 A, 47–63 Hz (switch autosenses input  
voltage)  
A correctly wired primary outlet, with a circuit protected by a circuit breaker and  
grounded in accordance with local electrical codes  
Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the electrical  
rating on the switch nameplate  
Environmental considerations  
Before installing the switch:  
•
•
•
To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the nonport side (which  
contains the air intake vents) facing the cool-air aisle.  
Verify that a minimum of 24 cubic ft/minute of airflow is available to the air  
intake vents on the nonport side of the switch.  
Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40 ºC (104 ºF) while  
the switch is operating.  
38  
Installing and configuring SAN Switches  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
IMPORTANT:  
The 40 ºC value applies to the ambient air temperature at the air intake vents on the  
nonport side of the switch. The temperature inside the switch can be up to 80 ºC (176  
ºF) during switch operation. If the internal temperature range exceeds the operating  
ranges of the components, the LEDs, error messages, and Fabric Watch alerts indicate  
a problem. Enter the tempshow or Fabric Watch command to view temperature  
status.  
NOTE:  
For a complete list of environmental considerations, see Table 25 on page 136.  
Rack specifications  
If you are installing the switch in a rack:  
•
•
•
Plan a rack space that is one rack unit (4.45 cm or 1.75 in) high, 48.3 cm (19  
in) wide, and at least 76.2 cm (30 in) deep.  
Verify that the rack is mechanically secured to ensure stability in the event of an  
earthquake or other natural disaster.  
Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit connection;  
maintain the 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 met on an ongoing basis,  
especially if the switch is installed in 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 in any way.  
Cooling considerations  
Cooling air is drawn into the switch chassis by the fans mounted on the rear of the  
chassis. The air is expelled through vents in the front (port side) of the chassis. HP  
recommends installing the switch so that air intake and exhaust for all components in  
the rack are flowing in the same front-to-back direction.  
Follow these guidelines to ensure proper airflow and to prevent component overheating:  
•
•
•
Install the switch with the nonport side (which contains the air intake vents) facing  
the cool-air aisle.  
Ensure that all equipment in the rack forces air in the same direction to avoid  
taking in exhaust air.  
Ensure that a minimum of 24 cu ft/min of airflow is available to the air intake  
vents on the nonport side of the switch.  
39

•
Ensure that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40 ºC (104 ºF) while  
the switch is operating.  
NOTE:  
Do not block air vents. The switch uses ambient air for cooling.  
Installing the switch as a stand-alone device  
To install the switch as a stand-alone unit:  
1. Unpack the switch and verify that all items listed in Shipping carton  
contents on page 35 are present.  
2. Locate the four rubber feet in the accessory box.  
3. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to the switch. The rubber feet help prevent the switch  
from sliding off the supporting surface:  
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 of the feet.  
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each  
indentation and press into place.  
4. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.  
5.  
Apply power to the switch as described in Powering on and off on page 66.  
CAUTION:  
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is set. For instructions on  
setting the IP address, see Cabling and configuring the SAN Switch on page 52.

Installing the switch using the SAN Switch Rack  
Mount Kit  
This section provides instructions for installing the SAN Switch in the following HP  
custom racks:  
•
•
HP System/e Rack  
HP 10000 G2 Series rack, HP 9000 and HP 10000 Series racks  
For optimal cable management, HP recommends that you install the SAN Switch Rack  
Mount Kit to allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out of the cool-air side of the  
rack. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 12.7 cm (5 in) back from the  
edge of the rack, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.  
NOTE:  
The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit installation requires one technician.  
Obtain the following items:  
•
•
•
•
•
SAN Switch  
Power cables  
#2 Phillips screwdriver  
7/16-inch wrench or socket

Cabling and configuring the SAN Switch  
The SAN Switch must be configured to ensure correct operation with a network and  
fabric. For instructions on configuring the switch to operate in a fabric containing  
switches from other vendors, see the Fabric OS administrator’s guide.  
For more information about the commands used in this procedure, see the Fabric OS  
command reference manual for the Fabric OS version running on your switch.  
NOTE:  
All supporting Fabric OS documentation is accessible from the B-Series switches link  
on the following web site: http://www.hp.com/go/san.  
Recommendations for cable management  
Before installing the switch, plan the rack space required for cable management based  
on the following HP recommendations:  
•
•
•
•
Leave enough space to allow for the fact that the minimum bend radius for a  
50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no  
tensile load.  
Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to  
remove and replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and  
helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.  
If you are using ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The  
cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements, as described in  
the Fabric OS administrator’s guide.  
For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices  
to which they are connected.  
•
•
Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.  
Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables; tie wraps are easily overtightened  
and can damage the optic fibers. HP recommends using velcro straps to secure  
and organize fiber optic cables.

NOTE:  
To protect against AC failure on the 4/32, 4/32B and 4/64 SAN Switch  
models, connect each power cord to outlets on separate circuits. Verify  
that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6-inches to avoid stress.  
2. To power on, set the two AC switches to the ON position (I).  
IMPORTANT:  
The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches utilize one power switch. The 4/32,  
4/32B and 4/64 SAN Switches utilize two power switches.  
The power supply LED lights green and the switch runs the power-on self test (POST).  
The switch requires at least three minutes to boot and complete POST.  
3. After POST and the boot process are completed, verify that the System Status and  
System Power LEDs light green.

Once the Ethernet cable is connected, access the switch remotely via the CLI or the  
integrated Advanced Web Tools GUI software.  
2. Log in to the switch via Telnet, using the admin account.  
Modify the FC domain ID (optional)  
You can modify the FC domain ID. The default FC domain ID is 1. If the switch is not  
powered on until after it is connected to the fabric, and the default FC 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 determine the domain IDs that are currently in use, issue the fabricshow command.  
The number of domains is determined by your domain fabric licensing.  
To modify the domain ID:  
1. Issue the switchdisable command to disable the switch.  
2. Issue the configure command. The prompts display sequentially: enter a new  
value or press Enter to accept each default value.

Fabric Parameters (yes, y, no, n): (no) y  
4. Enter a unique domain ID, such as the domain ID used by the previous switch, if  
it is still available:  
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3  
5. Respond to the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the default settings.  
6. Issue the switchenable command to re-enable the switch.  
7. Optional: Specify any custom status policies:  
a. Issue the switchstatuspolicyset command. This command sets the  
policy parameters that determine the overall switch status.  
b. Customize the status policies.  
To deactivate the alarm for a particular policy, enter 0 at the prompt for that policy.  
Install the SFP transceivers  
The SAN Switch does not ship with SFPs. For a list of supported SFPs, see Table  
2 on page 33.  
The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of  
these requirements, see the ISL Trunking chapter in the Fabric OS administrator’s guide.  
To install the SFP transceivers:  
1. Position the transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until the  
latching mechanism clicks. The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation.  
If the transceiver does not install easily, make sure it is oriented correctly.  
For instructions specific to the transceiver you are using, see the transceiver  
manufacturer’s documentation.  
2. Repeat step 1 for the remaining ports, as required.  
59  
SAN Switch installation guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
Connect the cables  
CAUTION:  
The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and  
1.2 inches with no tensile load. Because they are easily overtightened, HP does not  
recommend tie wraps for optical cables.  
To connect the cables to the SFP transceivers:  
1. The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. Orient a cable  
connector so that the key (the ridge on the side of the connector) aligns with the  
slot in the transceiver, and insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching  
mechanism clicks. If a cable does not install easily, make sure it is correctly oriented.  
For detailed instructions on the cable type, see the cable manufacturer’s  
documentation.  
2. Repeat Step 1 for the remaining transceivers, as required.  
The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these  
requirements, see the Fabric OS administrator’s guide.  
Verify the configuration  
To confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use:  
1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about  
LED patterns, see Interpreting LED activity on page 69.  
2. Issue the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides  
information about the switch and port status.  
3. Issue the fabricshow command from the workstation. This command provides  
general information about the fabric.  
Back up the configuration  
HP recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent configuration is available.  
To back up the switch configuration to an FTP server:  
1. Issue the configupload command.  
2. Follow the prompts.  
The command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for  
downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary. For detailed instructions on backing  
up the configuration, see the Fabric OS administrator’s guide.

Set the switch date and time  
The date and time switch settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does  
not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still  
functions properly.  
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary Fabric Configuration  
Server (FCS) switch with that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.  
To set the date and time for a switch (see Example 2 following the procedure):  
1. Log in to the switch as admin.  
2. Enter the date command at the CLI prompt, using the following syntax:  
date “MMDDhhmm [CC]YY”  
The values represent the following:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
MM is the month (01 – 12).  
DD is the date (01 – 31).  
hh is the hour (00 – 23).  
mm is minutes (00 – 59).  
CC is the century (19 – 20).  
YY is the year (00 – 99).  
Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970–1999; year values less than 70  
are interpreted as 2000–2069. The date function does not support Daylight Savings  
Time or time zones. Reset times for Daylight Savings Time or time zones manually.  
Example 2:  
switch: admin> date  
Fri May 5 21:50:00 UTC 1989  
switch:admin>  
switch:admin> date “0624165203”  
Tue Jun 24 16:52:30 UTC 2003  
switch:admin>  
Synchronize the local time with an external source  
To synchronize the local time of the principal or primary FCS switch with that of an  
external NTP server:  
1. Log in as admin.  
2. Issue the tsclockserver [ipaddr] command.  
The ipaddr variable represents the IP address of the NTP server that the switch can  
access. This argument is optional; by default, its value is LOCL (see Example 3).

Set the time zone  
To set the time zone:  
1. Log in as admin.  
2. Issue the following tstimezone command:  
tstimezone[houroffset] [minuteoffset]  
•
•
•
•
For Pacific Standard Time, enter tstimezone –8,0.  
For Mountain Standard Time, enter tstimezone –7,0.  
For Central Standard Time, enter tstimezone –6,0.  
For Eastern Standard Time, enter tstimezone –5,0.  
The default time zone for switches is Universal Time Conversion (UTC), which is  
eight hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time. The parameters listed do not apply  
if the time zone of the switches has already been changed from the default (eight  
hours ahead of PST).  
See the tstimezone command in the Fabric OS command reference manual for  
more detailed information about the command parameters.  
3. Repeat step 1 and step 2 on all switches for which the time zone needs to be set.  
The time zone is set only once; the value is stored in nonvolatile memory.  
For U.S. time zones, Table 6 on page 63 provides the correct offset parameters for  
the tstimezone command.

Powering on and off  
The following sections provide information on powering specific SAN Switch models  
on and off.  
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch models  
To power on:  
1. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC inlet on the switch; connect the  
other end to a power source.  
2. Set the AC power switch to I.  
The switch runs POST each time it is powered on, reset, or rebooted. POST requires  
approximately three minutes.  
To power off:  
1. Set the AC power switch to O.  
2. Remove the power cords from the power sources.  
NOTE:  
Removing all power from the switch triggers a system reset. All devices are returned to  
their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.  
4/32, 4/32B and 4/64 SAN Switch models  
Connect one or both power cords to the AC power inlets on the switch; connect the other  
end to a power source.  
To power on, set both AC power switches to I. Power is supplied to the switch as soon  
as the first power supply is connected and powered on.  
To power off, set both AC power switches to O and remove the AC power cord from  
the power source.  
NOTE:  
Removing all power from the switch triggers a system reset. All devices are returned to  
their initial states the next time the switch is powered on.

SAN Switch management features  
SAN Switches use built-in management tools to help you monitor fabric topology, check  
port status, and debug the switch. Table 7 lists the management tools available.  
When running IP over FC, these management tools must be supported by both HBA and  
HBA drivers. For a list of supported HBAs, see the HP StorageWorks SAN design guide:  
http://www.hp.com/go/sandesignguide.

refer to the Web Tools administrator’s

on your switch.  
Standard SNMP applications— For  
information, refer to the Fabric OS MIB  
reference manual for the Fabric OS  
version running on your switch.  
Ethernet connection  
Management Server— For information, Ethernet connection  
refer to the Fabric OS administrator’s  
guide and the Fabric OS command  
Native in-band  
interface (over HBA  
only)  
reference manual for the Fabric OS  
version running on your switch.  
Managing SAN Switches from a single management  
station  
A management station connected to one switch via Ethernet can also be used to manage  
other switches connected to the first switch via FC. To do so, set the gateway address  
of the first switch to the gateway address of the subnet that the first switch resides on.  
Then, set the FC gateway address of each of the other switches to the FCIP address of  
the first switch. (See Table 8 for an example of address sets for a management station  
with three switches).  
NOTE:  
The disadvantage of this method is that the management station can only communicate  
with the switches.

Interpreting LED activity  
System activity and status can be determined through the LEDs on the switch. There are  
three possible LED states that display either green or amber:  
•
•
•
A steady light  
A flashing light  
No light  
LEDs display either green or amber colors. A steady green light indicates a healthy  
state. Sometimes, the LEDs flash any of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic  
tests. This is normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a  
healthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete.  
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch LEDs  
The LEDs are shown in Figure 23.  
Figure 23 shows the LEDs on the port side of the 4/16 SAN Switch.

POST and boot specifications  
When the switch is powered on or rebooted, the switch performs POST. Total boot  
time with POST is at least three minutes.  
Use fastboot to bypass POST after subsequent reboots. For more information about  
the fastboot command, refer to the Fabric OS command reference manual for the  
Fabric OS version running on your switch.  
POST  
POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted,  
or reset. During POST, the LEDs flash different colors. Any errors that occur during  
POST appear in the error log.  
Monitor POST diagnostic tests via the error log or the CLI. The POST process consists of:  
•
•
•
•
Displaying preliminary POST diagnostics  
Initializing the operating system  
Initializing the hardware  
Performing diagnostic tests that check several functions, including circuitry, port  
functionality, memory, statistics counters, and serialization  
Boot  
Boot completes in approximately three minutes during POST. The boot process consists of:  
•
•
•
Defining the universal port configuration set  
Initializing the links  
Analyzing the fabric  
If any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric  
configuration.  
•
•
•
Assigning domain IDs and port addresses  
Constructing the unicast routing tables  
Enabling normal port operation  
88

Interpreting POST results  
To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were  
detected:  
1. Verify that the switch LEDs indicate that all components are healthy.  
See:  
•
•
•
•
•
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch LED patterns on page 70  
4/32 SAN Switch port side LEDs on page 74  
4/32 SAN Switch nonport side LEDs on page 78  
4/64 SAN Switch port side LEDs, page 79  
4/32B SAN Switch LEDs, page 85  
If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state, verify that the LEDs are not set  
to beacon by issuing the switchshow command.  
2. Verify that the switch prompt appears on a workstation monitor connected to the  
switch. If there is no switch prompt when POST completes, press Enter. If the switch  
prompt still does not appear, try opening another Telnet session or accessing the  
results using another management tool. If this does not work, the switch did not  
successfully complete POST. Contact HP Technical Support.  
3. Review the system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are written to  
the system log, accessible through the errshow command. For information about  
this command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference. For information about  
error messages, refer to the System Message Reference.  
Diagnostic tests  
In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help troubleshoot the  
hardware and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed  
media, and transceivers and cables.  
The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through a  
terminal set up for a serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be  
connected by external cables to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer  
interface, transceiver, and cable.  
Diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1 Gb/s, 2 Gb/s, and 4 Gb/s.  
CAUTION:  
Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links  
during diagnostic testing.

Replacing the 4/32B SAN Switch Power Supply/Fan  
Assembly Unit  
Read this section for Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit replacement procedures.  
Power Supply/Fan Assembly overview  
The 4/32B SAN Switch fans are fixed inside the integrated power supply/fan FRU  
to provide necessary airflow to cool the whole system. There is one fan located in  
the rear section of each FRU. The system software sets fan speed and measures their  
speeds through the tachometer interface.  
The two power supply/fan assembly FRU units are hot-swappable if replaced one at a  
time. They are identical and fit into either slot. Fabric OS identifies the power supplies  
from left to right on the port side as PS1 (on the left) and PS2 (on the right).  
The Fabric OS identifies the Power Supplies as follows (viewing the switch from the  
port side):

CAUTION:  
Disassembling any part of the fan assembly voids the part warranty and regulatory  
certifications. There are no user-serviceable ports inside the Power Supply/Fan  
Assembly Unit.  
Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the fan  
assembly slots empty longer than two minutes while the switch is operating. If a fan  
assembly fails, leave it installed in the switch until it can be replaced.  
Maintain the two Power Supply/Fan assemblies in operating condition to provide  
redundancy.

Verifying if the Fan Assembly requires replacing:  
•
•
•
Check the System Status LED. If the System Status LED is flashing amber and  
green, it could mean the fan has failed. Check the management interface and  
the error log for details on the cause of status.  
In Advanced Web Tools, check the Fan Status icon background color. It will be  
either yellow or red if the fan has failed. When the fan is functioning correctly,  
the background color is green.

two minutes, and requires the following items:  
•
•
•
4/32B SAN Switch  
New Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit  
Phillips #1 screwdriver  
Procedure  
To replace an existing Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit:  
WARNING!  
The 4/32B SAN Switch utilizes two power cords. Be aware that with the removal  
of a single power cord and power supply/fan assembly unit, power is still present  
in the switch.  
1. If the switch is to continue operating during the replacement, verify that the other  
Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit (the one not being replaced) has been powered  
on for at least four seconds and has a green LED.  
2. If the Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit you are replacing is not already off, press the  
AC power switch to “O” to power it off. See Figure 38 for locating the power switch.  
3. Lift the power cord retainer up to free the power cord for removal.  
4. Unplug the power cord from the Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit that you are  
replacing.  
5. Unscrew the captive screw on the Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit that you are  
replacing.  
6. Remove the Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit from the chassis by pulling the power  
cord retainer on the power supply/ fan assembly unit out, away from the chassis.

green light while the switch is operating. If the LED is not green, ensure that the  
Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit is firmly seated.  
11. Optionally, type psShow at the command line prompt to display Power Supply/Fan  
Assembly Unit status. Fabric OS identifies the Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit in  
the 4/32B SAN Switch from left to right as PS1 and PS2 respectively. See Figure 38.

CAUTION:  
If the SFP you does not have a bale, use a small implement, such as a  
screwdriver, to press and release the trigger beneath the port. Non-baled  
SFPs can be damaged by the removal process and are not recommended.  
See SAN Swtich optional kits on page 33 for a list of supported SFPs.  
5. Repeat this procedure for the remaining ports, as required.  
To install a replacement SFP:  
1. Make sure that the bale is in the unlocked position, and then place the SFP in the  
correctly oriented position on the port. See Figure 39.  
NOTE:  
Each SFP includes a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the  
bottom. The correct position to insert an SFP into the upper row of ports is  
with the gold edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP into the  
lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.  
2. Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place, and then close the bale.

How to prevent electrostatic discharge  
Grounding methods  
How to prevent electrostatic discharge  
To prevent damage to the system, you must follow certain precautions when setting up  
the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other  
conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of  
damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.  
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:  
•
•
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free  
workstations.  
•
•
•
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always make sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive  
component or assembly.  
Grounding methods  
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods  
when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:  
•
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or  
chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10  
percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the  
strap snug against the skin.  
•
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the  
straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or static-dissipating floor  
mats.  
•
•
Use conductive field service tools.  
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an HP  
authorized reseller install the part.  
NOTE:  
For more information on static electricity, or for assistance with product installation,  
contact your HP authorized reseller.

FC port specifications  
The following sections summarize FC port specifications.  
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch FC port specifications  
The FC ports are compatible with SWL and LWL SFP transceivers. The strength of the  
signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.  
The ports operate at 1, 2, and 4 Gb/s and autosense to the highest speed of all  
attached devices.  
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these  
standards, see Regulatory compliance notices.  
4/32 and 4/64 SAN Switch FC port specifications  
The FC ports are compatible with SWL, LWL, and extended long wavelength (ELWL) SFP  
transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.

Additionally, the ports autonegotiate at 1, 2, or 4 Gb/s and meet all required safety  
standards. For more information about these standards, see Regulatory compliance  
notices.  
4/32B SAN Switch FC port specifications  
The FC ports are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFP transceivers. The strength of  
the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.  
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these  
standards, see Regulatory compliance notices.  
Additionally, the ports autonegotiate at 1, 2, or 4 Gb/s and meet all required safety  
standards. For more information about these standards, see Regulatory compliance  
notices.  
Serial port specifications  
The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. It is a three-wire RS-232 port with  
a DB-9 male connector, designed to connect to a DTE port. For the 4/32B or 4/64 SAN  
Switch it is an RJ45 connector. The serial port is used for initial IP address configuration  
and for recovery of the switch to its factory default settings should Flash memory  
contents be lost. The serial port connection is not intended for performance of normal  
administration/maintenance functions. Customer or field personnel accessible functions  
are limited to connecting a terminal to the port to re-initialize the switch defaults, which  
will restore the switch to its factory configuration. This will be required to restore the  
switch passwords to a known state and to allow users to set a specific switch IP address.  
NOTE:  
To protect the serial port from dust and electrostatic discharge (ESD), keep the cover  
in place on the serial port when the port is not in use.  
The serial port can connect to a workstation to configure the switch IP address without  
connecting to the fabric. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at 9,600 baud, 8 data  
bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None.  
The port requires a straight serial cable with a female 9-pin subminiature-D connector.  
Only pins 2, 3, and 5 are supported.  
Table 30 describes the cabling pinouts.

A 3.0 m (10 ft) serial cable is provided with the switch. It can be converted from a DB-9  
serial cable to an RJ-45 serial cable by removing the adapter on the end of the cable.  
To remove the adapter from the end of the DB-9 serial cable:  
1. Ensure that the cable and both screws have been disengaged.  
2. Pull the adapter straight out, without moving it from side to side, to loosen the  
seating of the connector. If you move the adapter side to side, you might damage it.  
CAUTION:  
When removing the DB-9 male connector from the DTE port, do not use excessive  
force or the DB-9 connector will split into two parts easily to prevent damage to the  
switch’s DTE port.
