About the MSA SAN
Switch 2/8
The HP StorageWorks MSA SAN Switch 2/8 is a high-performance, 2 Gb/s,
8 port Fibre Channel switch, designed specifically for installation in the Modular
SAN Array 1000 (MSA1000) storage device, to connect the MSA1000 to hosts
and Enterprise Backup Solutions in a Storage Area Network (SAN).
The MSA1000 provides two slots for embedded interconnect devices. The
MSA1000 ships standard with one Fibre Channel I/O Module in the primary slot
and a blanking panel in the secondary slot. Available embedded interconnect
options include the provided Fibre Channel I/O Module, an MSA HUB 2/3, and
this MSA SAN Switch. If a redundant configuration is needed, two MSA SAN
Switches may be installed in the MSA1000.
