serial stream. The parallel data is expected to be “8B/10B” encoded data or equivalent. The ports are compatible with optical SWL (short wave-length: 780-850 nm), and optical LWL (long wave-length: 1270-1350 nm), SFPs, and SFP-compatible cables. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of SFP in use. The ports are universal and self-configuring, and are capable of becoming F_Ports (fabric ports), FL_Ports (fabric loop enabled), or E_Ports (expansion ports).
WARNING There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. All used batteries must be discarded according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Contact HP support if the real time clock begins to lose time. Terminal Serial Port Specifications Each CP card provides a terminal serial port with a DB-9 connector with an RS-232 signal subset (see Figure 21 on page 59).
Modem Serial Port Specifications Each CP card has a modem serial port with a fully RS-232 compliant DB-9 connector (see Figure 21 on page 59). For dust and ESD protection, a cover is provided for the serial port and should be kept on the port whenever the serial port is not in use. Note The modem port can be used to attach a modem to each CP card and perform dial-in support operations including switch configuration and troubleshooting.
Post Specifications The HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 performs POST by default each time the chassis is powered on (cold boot) or the switch is rebooted. The switch can be rebooted using the switchreboot, reboot, or fastboot commands. The fastboot command reboots the switches without running POST. A CP card failover event results in a reboot for the affected CP card. POST includes a number of diagnostic tests. Test results can be monitored through LED activity, the error log, or command-line interface.
