HP DC04 SAN Director Switch Hardware Reference Guide
Powering on the DC04 SAN Director
CAUTION: Use the power cords supplied. Ensure that the facility power receptacle is the correct
type, supplies the required voltage, and is properly grounded.
To power on the DC04 SAN Director:
1. Connect the AC power cords to the power supply assemblies. One to four power cords are
required, depending on electrical service.
2. Connect the power cords to a power source with voltage of 200 to 240 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz
(typically two power cords) or to a power source with voltage of 110 to 120 VAC, 47 to 63
Hz (two to four power cords).
TIP: HP highly recommends use of the high-voltage line (200 to 240 VAC) due to better
power-conversion efficiency.
3. Turn the AC power switches on the power supplies to ON. The AC power switches light green
when switched on and power is supplied.
4. The DC04 SAN Director performs a POST each time it is powered on. POST takes
approximately 10 minutes and is complete when the indicator light activity indicates the
operational state. For information about LED patterns, see Table 9 (page 55).
You can bypass POST by using the fastBoot command. You can also disable POST for
successive reboots on the DC04 SAN Director using the diagDisablePost command.
NOTE: To prevent a potential IP address conflict, do not connect the DC04 SAN Director
to the network until the IP addresses are configured. See Configuring IP addresses (page 39).
Port numbering
The DC04 SAN Director uses the following port numbering method (see Port numbering
templates (page 123)).
IMPORTANT: Slots are numbered 1 through 8, from bottom to top. Control processor blades
(CP8) can be installed only in slots 4 and 5. Core switch blades (CR4S-8) can be installed only in
slots 3 and 6.
• FC8-16 port blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from left to right.
• FC8-32 port blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from left to right on the bottom
set of ports and 16 through 31 from left to right on the top set of ports.
• FC8-48 port blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from left to right on the bottom
set of ports and 24 through 47 from bottom to top on the top set of ports.
• FC8-64 port blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 31 from bottom to top on the left set
of ports and 32 through 63 from bottom to top on the right set of ports. Trunking groups are
permitted with up to eight ports per group. The trunking groups are: 0-7, 8-15, 16-23, 24-31,
32-39, 40-47, 48-55, and 56-63.
• FC10-6 port blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 5 from left to right.
• FR4-18i router blade—The sixteen physical FC ports on this blade are numbered 0 through
15 from left to right. The two GbE ports are numbered from the bottom as Ge0 and Ge1.
These ports, when fully configured, enable sixteen VE_Ports or VEX _Ports and appear in the
switchShow command as ports 16 through 31.
• FS8-18 encryption blade—Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from left to right.
• FX8-24 and FX8-24E port blades—Ports are numbered in groups. FC ports are numbered
from 0 through 11 in two vertical rows of six ports, starting from the bottom left and bottom
