McDATA® 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem installation guide 27
3 Installation
The McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem provides integrated FC switch connectivity for
single and dual density p-Class blade servers. The switch is compatible with any combination of server
blade models in the HP BladeSystem enclosure that connects to the Ethernet Interconnect switch. These FC
signal conditioning cards provide FC signal pass-through connectivity to ProLiant Blade servers. This
section describes how to install and configure the McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch. It also describes how to load
new firmware and how to recover a disabled switch.
Preparing for installation
CAUTION:
Installation of the HP ProLiant BL p-Class FC Signal Conditioning Cards should be performed
by individuals who are both qualified to service computer equipment and trained in the dangers
associated with products capable of producing hazardous energy levels.
To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.
Observe the following guidelines during installation:
1.
Install the FC signal conditioning cards into the HP p-Class BladeSystem Interconnect Switches.
2.
Install the Interconnect switch into one of the interconnect bays, which are the left-most (side A) and
right-most (side B) bays on the front side of the server blade enclosure.
3.
Install the SAN Switch into the top left-most or top right-most bay on the rear side of the blade enclosure
corresponding to the installed Interconnect switch.
4.
Install the included small form-factor pluggable optical transceivers (SFP modules) into the appropriate
FC ports of the SAN Switch.
