Issues and Workarounds

This section describes special issues and workaround solutions associated with the
SAN Switch 2/8 v3.1.x release.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
The following issue has been identified with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and
5.5 running on Windows NT 4.0:
SAN Switch 2/8 Version 3.1.x Release Notes
The name of the rack mount kit has been changed from "Universal Rack
Mount Kit" to "HP StorageWorks SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit."
The type of screws required for assembling the inner rails of the Rack Mount
Kit has changed from
(14) #8-32 x 3/16-inch Phillips pan-head screw with captive star lock washer
to
(14) #8-32 x 3/16-inch Phillips pan-head screw with thread lock.
The current version of the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8 Version 3.1.x
Installation Guide indicates that the plenum is required for mounting
2/8 switches in some cabinets but not in others. However, the plenum is
required for mounting the switches in any HP supported cabinet. The reason
for this requirement is that the plenum allows air to dissipate at the rear of the
rack, thereby preventing overheating.
If the plenum is included with the switch or is ordered separately, please
refer to page 43 of the Installation Guide for information about installing
the plenum.
Normally, when you launch a copy of the Switch Explorer applet, the left
panel displays a tree of switches in your fabric. Clicking a tree node will cause
the right panels to update to the currently selected switch. However, under
Windows NT/4.0 and IE 5.0/5.5, the right panel does NOT update for the
second and subsequent instances of the Switch Explorer. Only the first
instance updates the right panel correctly.
