IMPORTANT:
Always use the plenum when installing the switch in a rack.
•
At a minimum, adequate cooling requires installing the switch with the intake side, the nonport
side of the switch, facing the cool-air aisle.
•
All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intake of exhaust air.
•
A maximum of 102 cubic meters/hour (60 cubic feet/minute) and a minimum of 74.8 cubic
meters/hour (44 cubic feet/minute) of airflow must be available for air intake.
•
The ambient air temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F) while the switch is operating.
Cabling considerations
You can organize and manage cables in a number of ways, such as using cable channels on the
sides of the cabinet or patch panels.
Before installing the switch, consider the following HP cabling recommendations:
•
HP recommends using HP PremierFlex cables because they have a minimum bend radius of
2 mm (0.08 inch) compared to previous cables, which required a minimum 5 cm (2 inches)
bend radius for a 50-micron cable under full tensile load and 3 cm (1.2 inches) with no tensile
load.
•
Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and
replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables
from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
•
If you are using ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The cables used
in trunking groups must meet specific requirements, as described in the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.
•
For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to which they are
connected.
•
Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
•
Use Velcro straps to secure and organize fiber optic cables.
CAUTION:
Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables. The wraps are easily overtightened
and can damage the optical fibers.
Installing the switch
This section provides instructions for installing the HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch and the HP
SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch.
Items required for installation
To set up the switch for the first time, you will need the following:
•
Workstation with an installed terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal)
•
Unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address
•
Serial cable (supplied with the switch)
•
Ethernet cable
•
Access to an FTP server, SCP server, or USB device for backing up the switch configuration
(optional)
•
HP B-series SFP+ transceivers and compatible cables, as required (HP B-series 16 Gb/s SFP+
transceivers are required for 16 Gb/s performance)
