Port side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch

The port side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch includes the system status LED, console port, Ethernet
port, USB port, and FC ports with corresponding port status LEDs. Additionally, a pull-out tab identifies
the serial number, MAC address, and World Wide Name (WWN). Record the switch IP address on the

Nonport side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch

The nonport side is used solely for air flow. The enclosure uses forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing
the air from the nonport side of the chassis through the enclosure, and exhausting to the port side.

Activating additional 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch ports

By default, the 8/8 SAN Switch model integrates eight licensed ports (ports 0 through 7). Additionally,
the 8/24 SAN Switch model integrates 16 licensed ports (ports 0 through 15). To enable additional
ports, you must purchase and install the HP Storage Works 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch 8Gb 8-port
Upgrade LTU (part number T5518A):
• For the 8/8 SAN Switch—To enable ports 8 through 15, you must purchase and install one
upgrade license. To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install one upgrade
license.
• For the 8/24 SAN Switch—To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install
a second upgrade license.
See Installing and activating Port Upgrade

Enabling E_Ports on the 8/8 SAN Switch

The 8/8 SAN Switch model requires that you purchase the HP StorageWorks Full Fabric Upgrade License,
part number T4261A, to enable E_Ports (the 8/24 SAN Switch ships with the Full Fabric license installed).
By default, the 8/8 SAN Switch cannot be connected to another switch until this license is installed.
Without the license, the switch can still be directly connected to hosts and storage devices. To install
the Full Fabric Upgrade License, use the licenseadd command. Once installed, the license appears
under the licenseshow command as "Full Fabric License" and indicates that E_Ports are now
automatically enabled.
