Overview

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).
The FC 16B includes the Brocade Fabric Operating System™ version 3.0.1, and is compatible with
HP's installed base of Fibre Channel hubs, bridges, and switches. It can operate in a fabric
containing multiple switches or as the only switch in a fabric.
The FC 16B is one rack unit in height, has an air-cooled chassis, and can be set up as a stand-alone
unit or mounted in a 19-inch rack. The FC 16B includes the following:
•
16 optical ports, each with two LEDs (light-emitting diodes), one to indicate port status and
one to indicate link speed
•
One serial port with an RS-232 connector
•
One 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector
•
A "switch power" LED on the SFP media side, indicating whether the switch has power
•
A "switch status" LED on the power supply side, indicating the overall status of the switch
•
One or two power supplies, with built-in fans and LEDs (if two power supplies are installed,
they are redundant and individually hot-swappable)
•
Two fan trays, individually hot-swappable
