8/40 SAN Switch features

• Provides the EZSwitchSetup Wizard for easy setup and basic configuration.
• Support for 1, 2, 4, and 8Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel switch and router ports.
• Integrates a single motherboard design with 667 MHz PowerPC 440EPx Reduced Instruction Set
Computer (RISC) CPU and integrated peripherals which provide high performance.
• Ships FICON, FICON Cascading and FICON Control Unit Port (CUP) ready.
• Provides two hot-swappable, redundant integrated power supply and fan FRUs.
• Universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or FL_Ports. Ex_Ports are activated
on a per-port basis with the optional HP B-series 48-80 Port SAN Switch Integrated Routing LTU.
This license provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) on a per-port basis, rather than limiting
routing ports to those on a dedicated routing blade or switch. Just like traditional FCR, Integrated
Routing uses EX_Ports to import and export devices between fabrics, enabling selective device
sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation. See
• Integrates a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port that provides storage for firmware updates, output of
the supportsave command and storage for configuration uploads and downloads.
