Page 19: Introduction
Introduction The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN) environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and multi-switch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the enterprise to become data centric.
Page 20: Edge Switch 2/24 Description
Introduction Edge Switch 2/24 Description The Edge Switch 2/24 provides Fibre Channel connectivity through 24 generic mixed ports (GX_Ports). Switch ports can be configured as: Fabric ports (F_Ports) to provide direct connectivity for up to 24 switched fabric devices. Fabric loop ports (FL_Ports) to provide arbitrated loop connectivity and fabric attachment for FC-AL devices.
Page 21: Field Replaceable Units (Frus)
Introduction Figure 1: Edge Switch 2/24 (front view) Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) The switch provides a modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs, including small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers and power supply assemblies with internal cooling fans. Edge Switch 2/24 FRUs are detailed in the front and rear panel feature descriptions.

Page 23: Ethernet Lan Connector
Introduction Ethernet LAN Connector The front panel provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted-pair connector that attaches to an Ethernet LAN to provide communication with the HAFM server or an SNMP management workstation. Two green LEDs are associated with the LAN connector. When illuminated, the left LED indicates LAN operation at 10 Mbps, and the right LED indicates LAN operation at 100 Mbps.
Page 24: Sfp Transceivers (Fibre Channel Ports)
Introduction SFP Transceivers (Fibre Channel Ports) The Edge Switch 2/24 provides 24 Fibre Channel ports. A single-mode or multi-mode fiber-optic cable attaches to a port through a small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver. The SFP provides a duplex LC interface, and can be detached from the switch port for easy replacement.
Page 25: Rear Panel Features
Introduction Rear Panel Features The switch provides a modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of field-replaceable power supply assemblies with internal cooling fans. Figure 3 illustrates the rear of the switch. Power supplies with internal Maintenance port cooling fans (2) Figure 3: Edge Switch 2/24 (rear view) Power Supplies The switch contains two power supply assemblies with internal cooling fans.
Page 26: Maintenance Port
Introduction Three cooling fans integrated in each power supply assembly (six fans total) provide cooling for the power supplies and CTP card, as well as redundancy for continued operation if a single fan fails. Fans are removed and replaced as part of the integrated power supply.
Page 27: Switch Management
Introduction Switch Management The switch is managed and controlled through a: Customer-supplied PC platform with an Internet connection to the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface on the switch. Using this graphical user interface (GUI), operators can quickly view switch status. The interface also allows service personnel to perform configuration tasks, view system alerts and related log information, and monitor switch status, port status, and performance.
Page 28: High Availability-Fabric Manager And Product Manager Applications
Introduction High Availability-Fabric Manager and Product Manager Applications As an option, the switch can be managed through an High Availability-Fabric Manager (HAFM) server running the Edge Switch 2/24 Product Manager application. Multiple switches and the HAFM server communicate on a local area network (LAN) through one or more 10/100 Base-T Ethernet hubs.
Page 29: Remote Workstations
Introduction Remote Workstations Using a standard web browser, the HAFM and Edge Switch 2/24 Product Manager applications can be downloaded and installed on remote user workstations that are LAN-attached to the HAFM server.
