switch. The front view shows 48 converged ports, which can be configured as 1 or 10GbE, or 8,
4 or 2 Gb Fibre Channel. The four 40GbE ports can be configured as four individual 40GbE
ports, or 16 10GbE ports when used with a splitter cable.
The switch supports two pluggable fan trays and two AC power supplies for redundancy. Two
options are available for fan trays, front-to-back airflow or back-to-front airflow.

HP FlexFabric 5900CP network architectures

The HP FlexFabric 5900CP switch can be utilized in the following environments:
A traditional Ethernet network for Ethernet data
A converged network switch in environments that support Ethernet and FCoE for Ethernet and
storage data
A native Fibre Channel fabric switch for storage data
In a converged environment, the HP FlexFabric 5900CP switch is configured as a ToR switch
connecting to a LAN and a SAN.
LAN connectivity is made through any of the 48 converged ports configured as 10GbE ports or
the 40GbE ports for a total of up to 64 10GbE ports.
SAN connectivity is made through any of the 48 converged ports configured as 10GbE/FCoE
ports or configured as 8/4/2 Gb Fibre Channel ports. When configured as Fibre Channel ports,
the converged ports support device connectivity (F_Port) or switch connectivity via NPV (NP_Ports)
to other HP Fibre Channel switches that support NPIV.
