Hewlett Packard Enterprise StorageWorks 1606 Extension Power Pack+ SAN Switch, Reference Manual, Page: 80 / 101

The ports are capable of operating at 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gb/s and are able to autonegotiate to the
maximum link speed.
POST and boot specifications
The switch performs POST by default each time it is powered on or rebooted or the system is
reset. Boot time with POST is usually about 1 to 3 minutes.
POST can be skipped after subsequent reboots by entering the
fastboot
command. For more
information about this command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual .
POST
The success/fail results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored through
LED activity, the error log, or the CLI.
POST performs the following tasks:
•
Conducts preliminary POST diagnostics
•
Initializes the operating system
•
Initializes the hardware
•
Runs diagnostic tests on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory,
statistics counters, and serialization
Boot
Boot performs the following tasks after POST is complete:
•
Performs universal port configuration
•
Initializes links
•
Analyzes the fabric
If any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric configuration.
•
Obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses
•
Constructs unicast routing tables
•
Enables normal port operation
Supported HBAs and CNAs
NOTE: CNAs apply to the FCoE Converged Network Switch only.
For a list of HBAs that have been tested and are known to work with the SAN switches, see the
