2 Installing the Edge Switch
This chapter describes tasks required to install the Edge Switch. Some of the topics it covers include:
• Installation options, page 23
• Installation requirements, page 23
• Unpacking and inspecting the Edge Switch, page 24
• Installing the Edge Switch on a table or desktop, page 24
• Installing the Edge Switch in a rack, page 25
• Unpacking, inspecting, and installing the Ethernet hub (optional), page 29
Installation options
The Edge Switch is installed in one of two configurations:
• Table or desktop—One or more switches, an optional HAFM appliance, and an optional
Ethernet hub can be installed at the customer facility on a desk or table top.
• Customer-supplied equipment rack—One or more switches, an optional HAFM appliance, and
an optional Ethernet hub can be installed in a customer-supplied equipment rack. Rack-mount
hardware is provided in the shipping container.
NOTE: When using either configuration, you must consider Ethernet cabling, distance, and
LAN addressing issues.
Installation requirements
Ensure that the following requirements are met prior to Edge Switch and HAFM appliance
installation:
• A site plan is prepared, configuration planning tasks are complete, planning considerations are
evaluated, and related planning checklists are complete. Also insure that Fabric and device
connectivity are evaluated, and the related planning worksheet is complete. See the HP
StorageWorks SAN high availability planning guide for more information.
• Support equipment and personnel are available for the installation.
• The required number and type of fiber-optic jumper cables are delivered and available. Ensure
that the cables are the correct length with the required connectors.
• Remote workstations or (optional) SNMP workstations are available. (Workstations are
customer-supplied and connected through a corporate or dedicated LAN.)
Verify that the following items are present before beginning installation:
• (Optional) An HP 9000, HP 10000, HP 11000, HP M-Series, HP rack system/e, or an
industry-standard 19-in rack.
• Two power outlets or different branches (for redundancy).
