HP P4459A 8-Port Fibre Loop Switch Installation & Operation Guide
Reset Button
Use the reset button with caution. The Reset button on the front panel of the
switch resets the internal control microprocessor of the switch. Sometimes a reset
clears a problem that appears to be the result of an unidentified error. Pushing the
Reset button interrupts all traffic and forces re-initialization of the loop. The
switch bypasses all ports and goes through normal power-on operations. Then the
switch reconnects the network by initializing all the ports connected to active
devices. Resetting the switch disrupts the network. This may affect performance,
but does not corrupt data on disk drives attached to the switch. It does, however,
erase any statistics and other management data that have been collected.
Connections
The following subsections describe the handling of GBICs and Fibre Channel
cables.
• Leave the device in its antistatic bag until ready to install it.
• Hold the GBIC by its edges and handle it carefully.
• Always follow the GBIC manufacturer’s recommended procedures for
cleaning the GBIC. This is especially true of the type of solvent used for
cleaning optical surfaces.
• Do not install any GBIC that appears physically damaged. This may result in
permanent damage to the switch.
ON ON Switch is resetting.
Not a valid state at any
other time. Power up or a reset.
Caution:
GBICs are sensitive to static electricity. Static discharge from your
clothing or other fixtures around you can cause damage. To prevent damage to the
GBIC, wear a wrist strap or discharge leash to free yourself of static before
touching it.
