Hardware Installation Instructions; Installing The Switch; Installing The Hbas - HP 201723-B21 - StorageWorks Modular SAN Array 1000 Hard Drive Quick Start Instructions

• Internet browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), Netscape
Navigator, or Mozilla Firefox
• For Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) storage, HP StorageWorks
Command View EVA software
NOTE: The switch supports IPv6, and the Simple SAN
Connection Manager application is IPv6 compatible when running
on an operating system that supports IPv6.

Hardware installation instructions

The hardware installation has three components:
• Installing the storage components

• Installing the switch

• Installing the HBAs

Installing the storage components
To install your HP storage components (purchased separately; not
included in the 8Gb Simple SAN Connection Kit):
1. If not already installed, install the MSA or EVA storage array
using the documentation supplied with the unit.
2. Connect the power cables to the power source.
3. Power on the storage array and allow it to initialize.
4. For EVA storage, install the HP StorageWorks Command View
EVA 7.0 or later software.
Installing the switch
To install the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch:
1. Mount the switch on a flat surface or in a rack:
• Attach the four adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the
switch and place the switch on a flat surface. Or,
• Mount the switch in a 19" EIA rack following the steps in the
HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Rack-Mount
Kit quick start installation instructions.
2. Install each SFP transceiver by inserting the transceiver into any
of the active switch ports and pressing gently until it snaps in
place. The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver
does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
NOTE: An HP Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver is
required for each switch port that will be connected to a device or
another switch. Only HP SFPs are supported for use in the switch.
On a new HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch, ports
0–7 are active. The switch supports 2 Gb, 4 Gb, and 8 Gb
transmission with HP 8 Gb fiber optic transceivers.
3. Apply power to the switch by attaching the AC power cord to the
receptacle on the back of the switch and to the power source.
The switch runs its self-tests and begins normal operation—this
may take a few minutes.
4. Check the switch LEDs
LED is illuminated, the Heartbeat LED is blinking (once per
second), and the System Fault LED is not illuminated.

5. Connect the switch Ethernet port to the following:
• The LAN that is used to connect the management station that
will run Simple SAN Connection Manager (see
installation instructions, page 3)
• Other servers in the storage area network (SAN)
IMPORTANT: Do not configure the switch at this time. The
Simple SAN Connection Manager software will prompt you to set
the switch IP address, administrator password, and default zoning
when you first start that software.
6. Connect the FC cables between the installed transceivers and
their corresponding devices and switches. Each port
auto-negotiates the proper port type with the connected device
or switch.
Installing the HBAs
Install an HBA on each server
see the instructions in the HP StorageWorks 81Q PCIe FC HBA quick
start installation instructions.
CAUTION: Keep the HBA in the antistatic bag until installation.
The HBA contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Before handling the HBA, use standard methods to
discharge static electricity. Place the HBA on the bag when
examining it. Retain the bag for future use.
