Rack stability WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment: • Extend leveling jacks to the floor. • Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. • Install stabilizing feet on the rack. • In multiple-rack installations, secure racks together. • Extend only one rack component at a time. Racks may become unstable if more than one component is extended. HP technical support Telephone numbers for worldwide technical support are listed on the HP suppo

Switch LEDs and controls The switch LEDs provide information about the switch’s operational status. These LEDS include the Input Power LED (green), Heartbeat LED (green), and the System Fault LED (amber) (Figure 2). For information about port LEDs, see ”Port LEDs” on page 15. The Maintenance button (Figure 2) is the only switch control. It is used to reset a switch or to recover a disabled switch. To apply power to the switch, plug the power cord into the switch AC power receptacle, located

Maintenance button The Maintenance button (Figure 2) is a dual-function momentary switch on the front panel. Its purpose is to reset the switch or to place the switch in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode sets the IP address to 10.0.0.1 and provides access to the switch for maintenance purposes when flash memory or the resident configuration file is corrupted. For more information, see ”Recovering a switch using maintenance mode” on page 57. Resetting a switch To reset the switch, press and

Fibre Channel ports The HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch has 20 Fibre Channel Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports and four Fibre Channel XPAK ports. SFP ports are numbered 0–19 (Figure 3). Each SFP port is served by an SFP optical transceiver and is capable of 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gb/s transmission. SFP ports are hot-pluggable and can self-discover both the port type and transmission speed when connected to devices or other switches. The port LEDs are located above ports 0–9 and belo

SFP ports configured as GL_Ports and all XPAK ports configured as G_Ports. Table 2 describes generic, fabric, expansion, and transparent routing port functions. Table 2 Fibre Channel port types Port type Description GL_Port Generic loop port—self-configures as an FL_Port when connected to a loop device, as an F_Port when connected to a single device, or as an E_Port when connected to another switch. If the device is a single device on a loop, the GL_Port will attempt to configure first as an

Ethernet port The Ethernet port is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable (Figure 5). A workstation can be a Windows or a Linux server that is used to configure and manage the switch fabric. An Ethernet connection to the switch is required to manage the switch using the CLI, QuickTools, Simple SAN Connection Manager, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The Ethernet port has two LEDs: the Link Status LED (green) and th

The serial port connector requires a null-modem F/F DB9 cable. The pins on the switch RS-232 connector (Figure 6) are identified in Table 3. For information about connecting the workstation through the serial port, see ”Connect the management station or workstation to the switch” on page 41.

Each power supply is capable of providing all of the switch’s power needs. During normal operation, each power supply provides half of the demand. If one power supply goes offline, the second power supply steps up and provides the difference. The power supplies are hot-pluggable and interchangeable. Hot-pluggable means that you can remove and replace one power supply while the switch is in operation without disrupting service. See ”Transceiver Removal and Replacement” on page 61 for informat

Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The switch firmware supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2. SNMP version 3 provides secure access to devices through a combination of authentication and encryption. You can enable SNMP, configure SNMP traps, and conf
