Compaq AA-RHGWC-TE manual Installing the Switch

The DS-DSGGC-AA has a default IP address of 10.77.77.77. You may need to change this IP address before you connect the switch to the network.

The DSGGA switch has slots to accommodate up to four (DS-DSGGA-AA) or eight (DS-DSGGA-AB) plug-in interface modules. Each interface module in turn supports two Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) modules. The GBIC module is the electrical-to-optical converter.

The shortwave GBIC supports 50-micron multimode fiber (MMF) using the standard subscriber connector (SC) connector. The longwave GBIC supports 9-micron, single-mode fiber optical cables. Only the 50-micron MMF optical cable is supported between the host bus adapters and switches or switches and HSG80 controllers for the TruCluster Server product. Longwave single-mode fiber optical cables are supported between switches in a cascaded switch configuration.

______________________ Note _______________________

If you need to install additional interface modules in the DSGGA switch, do so before you place the switch in a relatively inaccessible location because you have to remove the top cover to install the interface modules.

The DSGGB switch accommodates up to 8 (DS-DSGGB-AA) or 16 (DS-DSBBG-AB) GBIC modules.

The DS-DSGGC-AA switch has seven fixed shortwave optical transceivers and one removable GBIC.

6.5.1.1 Installing the Switch

Place the switch within 500 meters of the member systems (with KGPSA PCI-to-Fibre Channel adapter) and the HSG80 array controllers.

You can mount the switches in a 48.7-cm (19-in) rackmount installation or place the switch on a flat solid surface.

When you plan the switch location, ensure that you provide access to the front of the switch. All cables plug into the front of the switch. Also, for those switches with a control panel, the display and switches are on the front of the switch.

For an installation, at a minimum, you have to:

1.Place the switch or install it in the rack.

2.Connect the DS-DSGGB-AA or DS-DSGGC-AA to a terminal or PC.
