  • Page 7: Installing The Switch

    INSTALLING THE SWITCH Product Description The HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B is a 16-port Fibre Channel gigabit switch that supports link speeds up to 2 Gbps. Each port automatically negotiates to the highest common speed of all devices connected to the port. The ports are compatible with SFPs (small form factor pluggable media), are universal and self-configuring, and are capable of individually becoming an F_Port (fabric enabled), FL_Port (fabric loop enabled), or an E_Port (expansion port).
