Installation and safety considerations
The Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module installs in the I/O bays in the HPE Synergy frame. For specific
frame requirements, see the appropriate
HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup and Installation Guide
.
Installing multiple switches
If you do not have a DHCP server connected to the HPE Synergy Frame Link Module, install and
configure one Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module 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 do not occur, simplifying multiple switch installations. See
on page 15. See also the most current documentation for interconnects and other HPE Synergy
components at the website:
https://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-docs
Each switch must be assigned a unique Ethernet IP address during configuration. Once the default
Ethernet IP address on the Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module has been changed, you may install
additional Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module in the enclosure.
