Page 15: Introduction
Introduction The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN) environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and multi-switch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the enterprise to become data centric.
Page 16: Field Replaceable Units (Frus)
Introduction The switch, shown in Figure 1–1, provides dynamic switched connections for servers and devices, supports mainframe and open-systems interconnection (OSI) computing environments, and provides data transmission and flow control between device node ports (N_Ports) as dictated by the Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH 4.3).
Page 17: Front Panel Features
Introduction Front Panel Features Connectors and indicators include the: • Combined initial machine load and reset (IML/RESET) button. • Ethernet LAN connector. • Green power (PWR) and amber system error (ERR) LEDs. • Green, blue and amber status LEDs associated with FRUs. Figure 1–2 shows the front panel controls, connectors and indicators.
Page 18: Power And System Error Leds
Introduction Power and System Error LEDs The PWR LED, as shown in Figure 1–2, illuminates when the switch is connected to facility AC power and powered on. If the LED extinguishes, a facility power source, power cord, or power distribution failure is indicated. The ERR LED, as shown in Figure 1–2, illuminates when the switch detects an event...
Page 19: Sfp Transceivers (Fibre Channel Ports)
Introduction • Ports, causing all Fibre Channel connections to drop momentarily until the connections automatically recover. This causes attached devices to log out and log back in, therefore data frames lost during switch reset must be retransmitted. A reset should only be performed if a CTP card failure is indicated. As a precaution, the IML/RESET button is flush mounted to protect against inadvertent activation.
Page 20: Rear Panel Features
Introduction Rear Panel Features The switch provides a modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of field-replaceable power supply assemblies with internal cooling fans. Figure 1–3 illustrates the rear of the switch. Power supplies with internal Maintenance port cooling fans (2) Figure 1–3: Edge Switch 2/24 (Rear View) Power Supplies The switch contains two power supply assemblies with internal cooling fans.
Page 21: Maintenance Port
Introduction Three cooling fans integrated in each power supply assembly (six fans total) provide cooling for the power supplies and CTP card, as well as redundancy for continued operation if a single fan fails. Fans are removed and replaced as part of the integrated power supply.

Page 23 Introduction The HAFM server, as shown in Figure 1–5 is a notebook personal computer (PC) that provides a central point of control for up to 48 LAN-connected Directors or Edge Switches. Figure 1–5: HAFM server The server is mounted in a slide-out drawer in the HP-supplied equipment rack. The HAFM server or Ethernet access to the embedded web server (EWS) interface is required to install, configure, and manage the Edge Switch 2/24.
Page 24: Remote Workstations
Introduction Remote Workstations Using a standard web browser, the HAFM and Edge Switch 2/24 Product Manager applications can be downloaded and installed on remote user workstations that are LAN-attached to the HAFM server. Operators at these workstations can manage and monitor switches controlled by the HAFM server.

Page 26: Operational Features
Introduction Operational Features The Edge Switch 2/24 supports several operational features including: • Advanced error detection, reporting and serviceability. • Ability to create logical zones and zone sets. • Support for multi-switch fabrics. • Software diagnostics to aid in fault isolation and repair. Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability Features The switch provides the following error detection, reporting, and serviceability features:...
Page 27: Zoning
HAFM application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions. NOTE: For more information about SNMP support provided by Hewlett-Packard products, refer to the hp StorageWorks SNMP reference guide for directors and edge switches.
Page 28: Multi-Switch Fabrics
Introduction CAUTION: If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the switch fiber-optic cable configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone. If zoning is implemented by WWN, removal and replacement of a device HBA or Fibre Channel interface (thereby changing the device WWN) disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.

Page 100: Federal Communications Commission Notice
Regulatory Compliance Notices Federal Communications Commission Notice Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation.

Electrostatic Discharge 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 computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm 10 percent resistance in the ground cords.
