Installation and safety considerations

The 8Gb SAN Switch installs in the I/O bays in the rear of the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. Refer to the appropriate BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide for specific enclosure requirements.

Installing multiple switches

If you do not have a DHCP server connected to the OA, install and configure one 8Gb SAN Switch at a time. This is required so that Ethernet IP address conflicts do not occur with duplicate default Ethernet IP addresses.

IMPORTANT:

DHCP is enabled by default on this switch. In cases where DHCP is available, IP address conflicts will not occur, simplifying multiple switch installations. See Using external DHCP, page 24.

Each switch must be assigned a unique Ethernet IP address during configuration. Once the default Ethernet IP address on the 8Gb SAN Switch has been changed, you may install additional 8Gb SAN Switches in the enclosure.

See the appropriate HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide for help identifying your specific enclosure setup, available connections, and power requirements.

Electrical considerations

The 8Gb SAN Switch requires 35 watts, provided by the enclosure. No other power requirement or provision exists.

Environmental considerations

Ensure proper cooling and ventilation by verifying the following:

•The air vents on the enclosure are not blocked or restricted.

•The ambient air temperature at the front of the enclosure does not exceed 35°C (95°F) while the switch is operating.

IMPORTANT:

The dust covers that ship with your 8Gb SAN Switch must be inserted into any ports where SFPs are not installed, to help contain air flow in the BladeSystem chassis.

Install the 8Gb SAN Switch

Install the Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch into the enclosure:

1.Locate the appropriate interconnect bay in the rear of the enclosure as specified in the appropriate HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide provided with your enclosure.

IMPORTANT:

Populate all enclosure I/O bays with the appropriate component (for example a switch,

Pass-Thru, or one of the blank panels provided with the enclosure).
