    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.

  • Page 41: Installing The Switch Using The San Switch Rack Mount Kit

    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.

    For more details, see the Fabric OS administrator’s guide and the Fabric OS command reference manual for the Fabric OS running on your switch. Set the IP address By default, the IP address is set to 10.77.77.77. To replace the default IP addressing information with the information provided by your network administrator: Enter ipaddrset at the terminal emulator application prompt.

    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.

    Issue the configupload command. 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.

  • Page 61: Set The Switch Date And Time

    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.
