4Gb SAN Switch features

The 4Gb SAN Switch provides the following features:

•Fully integrated, embedded FC SAN design connects directly to the HP c-Class BladeSystem enclosure midplane

•Dynamic Ports on Demand (DPOD), automatically detects port connections, assigns port licenses and enables ports

•Easy to manage HP Storage Essentials Systems Insight Manager support

•Full compatibility with HP StorageWorks B-Series switches and Brocade fabrics

•Sixteen internal 1/2/4 Gbps auto-sensing FC interconnect technology with the following characteristics:

•Independent automatic negotiation to the highest common speed for each server FC port connected to the switch

•Universal self-conﬁguring ports, which are capable of becoming F_Ports (fabric enabled)

•Eight external 1/2/4 Gbps FC Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports, with the following characteristics:

•Automatic negotiation to the highest common speed of all devices connected to the port

•Port interface-compatible SFP transceivers, both short wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength (LWL)

•Universal self-conﬁguring ports, which are capable of becoming F_Ports (fabric enabled), FL_Ports (fabric loop enabled), or E_Ports (expansion ports)

•Heterogeneous support for mixed storage fabrics

•Power supplied and controlled by the BladeSystem enclosure

•Identiﬁcation to HP chassis management via HP speciﬁed SEEPROMs

•Hot-swap capability

•Compatible with redundant and dual redundant switch conﬁgurations in c-Class BladeSystem

•Hot code activation

•Real-time clock

•SFP port monitoring
