6.8.2 Installing and Setting Up the DS-SWXHB-07 Hub
The DS-SWXHB-07 hub supports up to seven 1.6025 Gb/sec ports. The ports
can be connected to the KGPSA-CA PCI-to-Fibre Channel host bus adapter
or to an HSG80 array controller.
Unlike the DSGGA switch, the DS-SWXHB-07 hub does not have any
controls or even a power-on switch. Simply plug in the hub to power it on.
The hub has a green power indicator on the front panel.
The DS-SWXHB-07 hub has slots to accommodate up to seven plug-in
interface converters. Each interface converter in turn supports two
1-gigabit Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) modules. The GBIC module
is the electrical-to-optical converter, and supports both 50-micron and
62.5-micron multi-mode fiber (MMF) using the standard SC connector. Only
the 50-micron MMF optical cable is supported for the TruCluster Server
products.
The GBIC modules and MMF optical cables are not provided with the hub.
To obtain them, contact your authorized Compaq Service Representative.
6.8.2.1 Installing the Hub
Ensure that you place the hub within 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of the member
systems (with KGPSA-CA PCI-to-Fibre Channel adapter) and the HSG80
array controllers.
The DS-SWXHB-07 hub can be placed on a flat, solid surface or, when
configured in the DS-SWXHX-07 rack mount kit, part number 242795-B21,
the hub can be mounted in a 48.7-cm (19-in) rackmount installation. (One
rack kit holds two hubs.) The hub is shipped with rubber feet to prevent
marring the surface.
When you plan the hub location, ensure that you provide access to the GBIC
connectors on the back of the hub. All cables plug into the back of the hub.
